Hey Stardock. Would you guys consider a price drop for Galactic Civilizations II Gold Edition?
I just finished my 150 turns for the demo and was starting to get the hang of things. I am teetering, on the brink of buying but the price holds me back. Yes I AM a bit cheap but hear me out:
1.- Older game: don't know about the USA but here in Spain games decrease in price as time goes by. Crysis is already 30 euros from its starting 55 euro tag price.
2.- No physical case, printed manual nor disc: distribution and manufacturing costs are cut that way, no?
3.- No multiplayer:
.... heheheh just kidding. I don't miss this at all.
4.- (MOST IMPORTANT PONIT) Wives are MUCH EASIER TO CONVINCE when something goes on "sale". Picture the scene (this actually happende):
Me, "Wow I loved this demo I think I'm going to get this game"
Wife, "Heh. ANOTHER game?! Don't you have enough of those already"
Me, "But honey, the AI and the customization"
Wife "How much is it"
Me "50 bucks"
Wife. "No way. I want that excercise machine. My butt's too big"
Me "D'oh"
Wife "And you are using it as well your beer gut is getting bigger"
Me "D'OOOOH"
Now instead of saying "50 bucks" if I'd had said "It's on SALE! Only 35 bucks marked down from 50" I'd be colonizing the galaxy as we speek.
Actually... I am colonizing the Galaxy with Sins of a Solar empire. Kudos on that one.
So please, Stardock hear my plea.
