Having said that there would still be those who would know full well it was a Beta and still complain like hell.

That happens automatically...

Sounds like one poster who is always offering his criticism but admits has never owned the game...

I haven't felt the cost of the game was out of line since the day I purchased it, the first couple of days it was available.   Until WITP (after PacWar), I had followed the development of a game call Pacific Tide for a couple of years that finally was discontinued because of the complexity and short funding.  I was so happy when WITP came out I would have paid double the price.  It was one hell of an investment and I think that AE and WITP II (if and when) will give the same bang for the buck.

Hi all,

In all seriousness folks, worrying about the cost is premature. We haven't made a decision on the price yet, but it's safe to say that it won't cost more than WITP.

My best bet is that would cost 50$.

So... with 70$ for WitP + 50$ for WitP AE one would get 120$ (and that's just about 60+ Euros) game that lasts for years and years!

IMHO there is almost nothing else on the wargamegame market (except for a some other Matrix release like HttR, CotA, GGWaW) that can and would compare to it - just count all the minutes/hours/days/weeks/months/years of fun we had with WitP until now (not to mention UV)!

I'd pay (and i WILL pay) everything it's needed to bring home that product!

Well, even if it cost 100 euros...just try to compare...how many dinners in restaurants you pay with 100 euros?? 2, possibly 3...not more...How many sweaters do you buy with 100 euros? not many for sure, even if you buy 'em on the sunday markets... So eat less, dress your old sweaters from the high school and buy witpAE![:D]

Well, I'm going to buy a copy of WITP as well as AE, seeing as I have been running a devteam download version. Always wanted an official copy and the new expansion pack effort has sealed the deal. Thanks for all the continuing effort guys.[&o]

How much ya got? [;)]

Now look who's drooling.

Matrix should seriously consider flanboys' package deal (see above) for new customers; it makes good business sense.

If you watch the intro movies, you'll know that the forums biggest grump (Ron) was a beta-tester for the original WitP.

I've beta-tested several games, and inn every case, your "payment" was essentially a free copy of the game (your beta version is essetially is a valid license key that is fully playable and upgradable).

But don't be so fast to cast stones, Ron isn't running a "pirated" copy. I'm quite sure he -earned- his "free copy" as a beta.

Back in Summer 2003 I had something of a "purchasing fever". I bought too many games for the time I had to play them. So, in the end I truly enjoyed very very few of them because of lack of time or because the game wasn't really good.
 
Then I purchased WITP. I can safely say that no game -at all- has been present in my hard drive non-stop for four and (almost) a half years in a row in all my life. Wont' need to mention that none was played by me in 4 years in a row with the same dedication as I've played WITP, ever.
 
Since I bought WITP I've rarely bought any other games, so in the end it has given me:
 
-countless hours of great fun and enjoyement
-some memorable PBEM moments I would've never wanted to lose (jumping and shouting of pure happiness while reviewing a very sucessful turn, which is nothing but a map, some lines, some artwork and some reports...heh, who said computer games need 3D realistic graphics?)
-a more thorough understanding of a WWII theater of war I didn't really understand before.
-new friends thanks to playing vs them
-and yes, even the casual moment of anger because I was slammed, or because some minor fault in the game engine
-etc, etc etc...
-and saving money because I now rarely buy any new games...
 
 
PD: I'd say it's safe to assume that quite some of the ideas content of the expansion comes from work done by modders for their respective mods. So a BIG THANK YOU for you all out there, no matter the mod you worked on.
 
PD2: And what I know for sure is that what I've read in the Admiral's Edition announcement is a list of many, many, many, many requests we users have done through this last four years and a half. And that I'm sure they aren't by far all the new things the add-on brings. So the developers were actually listening and reading about our complaints, requests, suggestions and reports...
I said it some 3 years ago and I haven't changed my mind: WITP was the best computer game purchase I've ever done. Nothing compares to it. So I'll buy Admiral's Edition with closed eyes and no matter the price.
Matrix paying such attention to their customers is not the smallest of the reasons why I'll do it. I wish many other developers had such an open mind when hearing their customer base. In me, if they keep this way, they got a faithful customer for a long time to come.

Humor me please. Post a link to the article or announcement thing for the add-on or new game whatever it is? I have no idea what AE is. No I'm not mentally challanged I'm just gone alot.

[hvymtl13]

Never mind I found it doh. [:'(]

Thanks VSWG.[;)] Guess some folks speed read over important details. I may be a grump sometimes but I don't take free rides.

Anybody know if we can pre order WITP AE?

Playing WitP this exclusively can be a double-edged sword. Although you do save cash by not buying other games, you can cheat yourself out of some satisfying experiences by not trying other genres, esp. as they get lower in price w/age.

I like buying popular games at $19.99, which usu. means a boxed set w/a printed manual. Combat Mission, Rome TW and other titles come to mind; of course, you may have to wait a few years!

Although I've played UV longer than any other game I've had, it's good to take a break from it as it plays "fresher" after a (relatively) long gaming absence.

This might be the most honest message ever posted on this forum.

[Cavalry Corp]

If anyone thinks that the cost is not important compared to the cost of time playing it is too young
