Are they pushing for market share?

Would it make any difference?

What on earth is that about?

Well from the comments I have read on their forums I'd say they have found a price the market will bear.

I'm not so sure about that. It may still cost to much.

Something we can agree on.

We'll know for sure if it was overpriced if they drop the price again before the $20.00 rebate expires.

Default Re: Moo3 is a shareware now

and I paid $49.99 for that piece of junk...

oh well IIRC that's what I thought about SE4 after the initial thrill wore off... honest, I was pretty disappointed with the single-player game... but then I discovered PBW

But with MOO3 the initial thrill Lasted about 10 minutes

Maybe someday I'll play MOO3 again... I doubt it though, from what I hear the patch won't be updating any of the really major problems

Fixing all of the major problems would require fundamentally rewriting portions of the game, which I seriously doubt they have done or will do.
