Multi-user license?

Post by Jimmer »

I'm interested in getting extra licenses (or, license keys, or whatever) for the game. Have you guys (from Matrix) thought about offering extra licenses at a reduced cost, to current owners or current purchasers? I'm not sure I can justify two or three extra licenses at full price when my kids probably won't even like it, but if it were somewhat less pricey, I would take the gamble.

Oh, and related to that: Does it work on Vista? One of my four systems is Vista.

I thought they said "no political comments'. Heck, these are almost RELIGIOUS comments. :)

Matrix guys:
 
I am actually serious about this. I would really like to give you guys some extra money, but it's not in the budget to buy two more fully copies (besides, I don't need three manuals -- just 3 licenses).
 
NOTE: If this can somehow be worked out, I think there are two other people (besides me) that will buy it, too. However, I don't anticipate them buying extra licenses. They'll just be able to play either from home or when they are over at my house, on one of my PCs.

Seems to me that there's a possible niche for educational multi-user licenses -- think classes on European history, for instance.

I am thinking that Matrix probably cannot afford to allow this. The cost of producing one of these games is expensive. All of the design time that goes into it and all that.

While I dont like paying 80 bucks (and more) for a game I know that this one was worth it. I dont buy alot of Matrix games due to the price so maybe that would be food for thought.

David Heath - if you lowered your costs to say 50 dollars I know that I would have bought five more games from your site this year. FYI.

How about a 5 for the price of 3 deal? I know of a fellow that does that for another software retailer.

Yeah, but all I need is a license key, not the whole game. And, it's free money that they wouldn't otherwise get. Well, some of it is; I may buy a second copy some day, but not three or four (I currently have four computers at home that can legitimately run this game).
