The fact that it costs so much for a product that didn't have nearly the same design costs illustrates the point that by far most of the $ we pay for ANY product goes to the distribution of it. We shouldn't blame Firaxis for the economics of marketing in our society.
You mean that even if they get 0$ for a sold product, the fixed cost are already high ? And so you can't make less than 30 ? I'm not sure of that.
Whether we're here to feed the X producers or not, that's what we have to do if we want to enjoy a product.
We can't get this point of view indefinitely, as consumers, you see if the product we buy worth what we get with it.
Warlords should cost 3x less than the stand alone AT LEAST!
But here it doesn't cost at least 2x less, so we can only be revolted.
Why not go down to your local software store and get mad at them? They're the ones getting fully 50% of your money. Those money hungry bastages. Having the gall to run a store to sell me cool games, and actually charge me for it.
Yes but when you compare the price of both, there is something illogical.
Actually, to me, the Base game should be about rewriting history, not predicting/writing the future.
Both are interesting, ok for the history, but there is already past done in the game, but not future, so before looking for a better past, do a future before...
But that doesnt stop me from doing a mod about the future like my interstellar colonization. (click the link in my signature )
Future should be in the official version too.
Ok, say that each civ added is worth 1 Dollar. The four new leaders for existing civs also 1 dollar each. That makes 10 dollar. Then a dollar for each of the new buildings and units, that is 4 dollar. Then a dime for every UB, makes 2,40 dollar. The vassal state optien is worth 2, 50 dollar? Every scenario 1,50? The warlords-addition 2,50? All the other little things together 2,50? Well, that's about 35 dollar. So the 30 Dollar/25 Euro/20 Pounds isn't that much, IMHO.
This is not a way of reasonment...
And even, if you see the number of things in the stand alone that you get only for 50$, each element is for 0.3 dollars...
The thing is shocking is the cost comparison .. and even, 30$ for some new things, if you compare with other products, is worthless.
In the stand alone version the starting screen is one of the most beautiful ever seen... Do you probably know a method how to change the screen back to the one of stand alone version I miss it so much
But it is even harder to play the "old" version, now Warlords rules!
You mean that there is a new starting screen in Warlords and this one is ugly?
"Everything is worth what its purchaser will pay for."
Sound familiar?
This is untrue, because you are maybe obliged to pay it, even if you would prefer to pay less.
