You probably mix the "general forum" up with the "AOW" forum.

I don't mind the price of the game itself but hopefully there will be an affordable way to get the game in the old europe (giving the money to Matrix is one thing, throwing it after FedEx, UPS or whatever is a different story).

Given the tumble the dollar has taken against the Euro, it will probably be cheaper for you to buy it in the US and pay shipping.

Who the hell do you think you r? Im trying to form a discussion here, and you come in out of no where and call me a cheapskate? How about trying a little harder and give me an explanation on why this game is so expensive, everyone else here gave me a reasonable answer , so who is the cheapskate here?[X(][:-]

RIGHT ON! In Europe every games price goes down by three times. And if not you could always get a fake and get the crack for it. [:'(]

irrelevant, I don't want to offend you and your language skills, but I don't get the meaning of your post.

Anyway, everybody calm down a bit. I bet on this forum there is more than one 'cheapskate' by necessity, for lack of funds. I for my part am a poor student and must restrict myself to buy just one specific game this year, and even this money will only be available at the expense of my beer fund... But I will buy WitP, even if it means that I have to go dry for the remainder of the year. [:-] [:(]

Good idea, I'll write my congressman. Beer and games for the masses, and they won't have time or desire to revolt....

Here's one for you:

WWII, the Guadalcanal campaign. During a built-up period between two Japanese offensives, a young gung-ho Marine replacement complains to his platoon sergeant: "Hey sarge, now I'm two weeks on this rotten island, and I haven't seen a single Jap, let alone killed one. How can I earn medals when there is no one to shoot at?" - The Sarge answers: "Don't worry, son. Just grab your rifle, walk down to the front at the Ilu River, find yourself a foxhole and then shout into no-man's land across the river 'To hell with Hirohito', and you'll see." The young Marine does as he was told, walks to the front line, jumps into a foxhole, readies his rifle, and aiming it at the jungle on the other side of the river, he shouts with all his might "To hell with Hirohito!!!". A few seconds later, a Japanese officer jumps out of the undergrowth, brandishing his sword and shouting back: "To hell with Roosevelt!!!" The young Marine lowers his rifle and mutters: "Ah, you lucky bastard - I can't shoot a fellow Republican..." [:D]

Looks like he took your advice. Not sure what prompted his unprovoked attack on you. Weird.

The game is expensive because it is the War in the East/War in the West/Campaign for North Africa of computer games. Truly massive in scale, covering half the globe. At the same time individual pilots are tracked with names, experience, etc. Schwarzemann, you should take the advice of the moderator: read the other threads. You will see how huge and yet detailed this game is - and your question on price should be answered. If you can show me another game with similar qualities at a similar price, I'd buy it too!
