Perhaps not for the USA, but try to order one from Greece or Australia etc and you will see my point, plus depending on the country you are buying it from, you can be asked to be additional tax.

I delayed buying the CD version for a LONG time due to the extra expenses, I finaly bought it, but much later than I would otherwise. I know of at least 2 people who don't buy the CD version because they don't want to pay almost double the amount of the game itself for the extra costs.

Thats an aweful big expense. I have to admit I might still be using the free version if I had to pay that.

Customers on that side of the globe need a Shrapnel Europe or something.

Why is that expense so one sided?

I mean I've bought stuff from UK,Germany,Hong Kong,Austrailia and the shipping expense wasn't double for example.

Makes no diffrence as I have already but if did with a serial no I would hope the CD version stays as is. Its refreshing to have a game company that does not ask you to enter a 20 digit code & does not force me to copy the CD to my hard drive as I do not need it to play.
(Why 20 odd digits for f s my cash is protected by a lot less, is that a 0 or a O lets try again)

I can understand what you are saying about the postage but you have had a nearly complete "demo" of the game so know you are not wasting your cash on a Lemming.
Is it really expensive say with postage it comes out at US$52.
If you play it for an hour a week for a year thats a dollar an hour then its free.
5 hours a week costs you 20 cents an hour for the first year.
Play more or over 5 years you are talking chump change.
Name other entertainment you can get for the same price even music does not compete & a DVD is well expensive how much do you spend to watch 50 hours of film even renting is more expensive.
