DW: Legends. Who is going to buy shortly after release?

Distant Worlds is a vast, pausable real-time, 4X space strategy game which models a "living galaxy" with incredible options for replayability and customizability. Experience the full depth and detail of large turn-based strategy games, but with the simplicity and ease of real-time, and on the scale of a massively-multiplayer online game.

I'm just putting it out there that when DW,RotS, and Legends are done being patched I'd love a boxed gold edition of the DW series.

ORIGINAL: Gelatinous Cube

This genre doesn't tend to lend itself to market expansion anyway. Word of Mouth is the only way this game will spread, and the type of gamer that buys Space 4x games consistently (or any grand strategy game, since I think Paradox fans would enjoy this too) is also the kind of gamer that buys all the ones that look good, regardless of price. Even if they have to wait until the discount.

Given the current pricing, a newcomer to DW will have to cough up about $100 for the digital download version - $130 or so if he wants boxed.

You don't think that will make people think twice?

From what I've seen, Matrix Games usually has special pricing for a game series when an add-on is released. I wouldn't worry about price being too high for new comers.
