Thank you for your replies guys! Yes Dominions 2 is really unique and complex so I wouldnt hesitate to spend 50 bucks again to buy it.
What Im saying is...maybe Doms 2. would sell better now, if it would be cheaper, since the game has been out for a long time...but I know nothing about marketing, so maybe I am wrong.
Dominions isn't sold in stores, so a "bargain rack" pricing wouldn't help, as that mostly gets people to try a game they otherwise wouldn't ("hmm, $15, why not?"). In addition, the bargain rack pricing tends to be because they need to get rid of old / crappy games that no one wants - if the store can't return it (and many can't) then they'll take a loss, just to get _something_ on it.

The other "bargain" price tends to be for games years after they came out, where 10s or 100s of thousands of copies were sold at full price, thus recouping development costs and allowing another release to be made, now that the income only needs to be more than the cost of physically producing and shipping copies (often without a printed manual).

Neither of these applies to Dominions.
