Price Query

Post by MPHopcroft1 »

Has a download price been decided upon for EiATNW when it does come out?

The reason I'm asking is because I would really like to pick up a copy at the earliest possible time, but my finances are tight. So I am wondering how much money I should set aside out f my limited supply so that I can purchase the game ASAP.

Actually I'm not cranky at all!
Let's say the game'll cost like 50$.....

That'll leave me enough money to by a brand-new Mercedes Benz!
Or maybe a Ferrari..... [:D]

SRY, still no offense!

Nearly all the digital downloads are $39.99. So, I would say as long as you have $49.99 squirreled away, you should be fine.

Sweet.  I was expecting more like $70+.  The board game was $40 back in 1986/87.

I don't know about the $50.00 mark.  What did War in the Pacific come out at?  $59.00 or $69.00?  I will lay odds that $50.00 won't download this one.  I will purchase it because I want it....  but I bet it will be more than $50.00

I think we should get the game for free.

Im not sure why- perhaps it would be a nice gesture of good-will.

Then Matrix could start up a dedicated site to advertise people wishing to play in a multiplayer game-after having learnt via the ai how it works.

With the bidding system in place then we could start a ranking system like in chess to see who is the emperor!!!!

A community could build up and as more players joined Matrix would become rich, Rich RICH!!!

Finally computer EIA could be recognised as a true olympic event by 2020- just think of how proud our grand children would be watching ol pa puffing away on his pipe as he dispatches a triple coalition of GB , France and Russia to take gold.
