Are we paying more for less?

I will answer just to this because this is clearly false statement. I didn't make any discussion on Usenet to SWING majority of users on usenet AGAINST SHRAPNEL or anything like that. [...]

Somebody clearly attacked me and have pinned me some bad intentions.

Nobody attacked you. You're reading a personal attack into Gandalf's statement that "You do understand that asking [if Dominions III is overpriced] in the Dominions forum makes it likely that most people will not agree with you? But even in the usenet strategy forums I had the same conversation. The person there also was not able to swing a majority."

That's not an attack on you. It's a description of the discussion on Usenet you participated in. He didn't make any claims about your intents or purpose, only about the outcome of the discussion itself.

haha...

What outcome? I am on Usenet since 1996. Are you aware that on Usenet is MORE LURKERS than those who write.... That there 5 Dominions fans made dislike of my view and one partly because he also agreed that price is high means something?
Sometimes bigger impact is to shout in the lobby of your building than to say something on Usenet.

Now, what means "swing majority"... I also read this as personal attack. Sorry but telling opinion as INDIVIDUAL is not swinging majority. But, if you would like that just let me know - if I am that much powerful lol. Now put American anthem behind and stay calm

And please... can we respect some opinion or not? I deal with computer games all the time, buy them and sell them so I know few things about that as well. Tim Brooks have explained some things but it's good that he get some other feedback as well...


EDIT: Swinging mojority - I have reacted as i have reacted because I don't want to be portrayed as enemy of the Shrapnel by fanboys here because I dislike this price politics. That is nonsense. And THAT would not come to his honour to any FREE thinking individual be it anywhere on this planet. Understood that padre?

Well, I tried. This discussion is through for my part.

I also tried.

A game that is prolly going to be played for years, has the best (as in term of usefulness, I actually believe I will be using it for as long as I'll play this game) manual I have seen in my ~25 computer gaming experience (during which I have bought dozens of computer-games), is delivered home, and costs less than 50€... Yeah, for me it is prolly the best BBF (bang-for-bucks) ever.

And I have to admit, if there had been a choice to get Dom3 for 5€ less if the manual was digitally available too, I might have taken the cheap way. And I for sure would be kicking my head now (and moaning if I possibly can buy the manual separate). The manual really is *damn good* (and there I have always been calling people who actually read manuals as "losers"...), and I think Shrapnel made a good decission by "forcing" people to get it too
