From the site's page:
"Please note - this is a back catalog title and is considered complete and no longer in active development"

Release Date: 23 SEP 2009

This is based on two great games released back in 1999.

...and Matrix is still asking $71.

What a disgusting shame...

An interesting business decision to be sure ....

I guess they're figuring that this is a niche / specialty item that won't appeal to the general public so they'll charge specialty prices.

I think their marketing strategy may be a bit off base however ...

I am a long time war gamer and am interested in purchasing. But pay full price for a game that they have not even adapted to work with the latest standard resolutions etc ?

Won't happen. If I have to play windowed or stretched at full screen, I want a significant reduction in price.

But - that is up to Slitherine ...

Perhaps if some more potential customers also support such threads and they see the possibility of greater volume over the less frequent / higher price sales model - perhaps they'll reconsider ...
