One word will sum this up nicely, FANTASTIC.

Now have a sale and give us 25% off with a purchase of a second game at normal price. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Say a Dominions II SEIV combo deal or SF + SEIV deal. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Out of curiosity, maybe someone at Shrapnel could tell us how many units of SEIV and Gold have been shipped to date?

They most often do not release such information. Its usually classified sales numbers.

Most retail games get to 9.99 because its cheaper to sell it at that than to let the thousands of unsold copies sit around in a warehouse.

Shrapnel's costs don't get much lower just because the code is old.

And the game dosen't get less fun http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif
It also dosen't suffer from lack of marketing hype.

I'd hazard to guess about 20,000-25,000 copies of both titles together.

An the price is right for a game like this. it is still the king of the hill when it comes to games of its gonera (sp).

Name one 4x game that you would buy that has been released in the Last four years aside from SE IV?

Honestly, if SE4 went to $9.99 I would immediately spend $50 to buy five copies to gift to my friends. Not kidding. Shrapnel, any chance?

Of course, it's not entirely altruistic. I know they'd get addicted, and join PBW...and then, inevitably, kick my butt there...

Games like SE4 never get old, hence it's logical that the price stayes the same.

The advantages of being 2D http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif yes your graphics may suck, but they can never look dated.
