Default Any Plans

For a price cut and maybe a release on the Steam?

I cant convince anyone to give the game a try when they'll have to drop over 60dollars to just get the thing


And well Steam would just be some nice exposure ..

The demo doesn't do the full game justice IMO...heck, the full game doesn't do the full game justice until you've played a few full games of it to learn how stuff works =)

But yes, it's better than nothing. Just let anyone that you point in the direction of the demo know that there's a LOT more content in the full release.

Hmm, the Demo got me to buy the game. Otherwise I would have probably passed. While not all-inclusive obviously as the full version, the Demo does give as true representation of gameplay and what to expect.

I agree, the demo as far as demos go is very generous. There is plenty of playing on offer and after a couple of days with it, i was in and ordered. The cost may be a bit steep, but there is nothing else like it and i don't mind paying for quality.

Well, of course, the demo leaves a lot to be desired. That's why it is a demo....to make you desire the rest. It worked for me....and it worked for a couple others I know. Still probly the best gaming bucks I ever spent!!!

What the heck is "the Steam"?

*checks Wikipedia*

Okay, so Steam is something where I have to register by telling lots of private information about myself and install some spyware-esque program which requires that I have an internet connection to be able to get and play games? Sounds great, sign me on!

*checks the Steam webpage*

"Requirements: Windows 2000, XP or Vista"

Wait, what?

In it's defence though, Steam does have a large userbase. Well, that's maybe not in it's defence, but you know what I mean.

Eh, I don't know what the royalties are to sell something off Steam. It might even get the game more popularity. But apart from streamlining the game to support those forced updates it would require the manual / game guide in a digitized form, and I don't expect that this happens in any time soon.

No. Realistically Dominions probably isn't the kind of game Steam are aiming to sell.
