ORIGINAL: civdiv It's bad enough that we disagree, and disagree vehemently. It's worse that you have to make stuff up; Me; I don't have to quote myself. jpinard; this is the guy that started this by talking about how many people he had talked with that said the game is too expensive. But now he's on your side, and he still hasn't bought the game. cannuck; "Well I won't be paying 39.99 for it-or 49.99 for that matter." oleg; "If you say CC6 will be this and that I have only your word, nothing else. CC: CoI is not even a teaser for CC6, it's quite simply the 100% copy of the 8 year old game (+ mods blah blah) which does not work well as promise for the future (something, that you want funded with players money)." Monkey Brains; "Before someone tell me that I am nuts for giving 30000 as a number that is realistic number that can be reached with a good product and in this case good priciung policy (not 40 $, that is ridicolously big number of lost sales because many people will pass on this buy)." Toast; Yeah, his complaint was the £4 VAT. If the game was £5 cheaper he still would have balked at the VAT, right? He was willing to pay £20 but not £24, but if it had been say, £19 w/ VAT he wouldn't have bought it, right? Only he can answer that but to me your argument is ludicrous. Goodguy; "Question is, though, will it be like a "1.5" game, or like a "2.0" one (all new engine, brandnew AI, new theater, etc.)? Imho, CoI is like 1.3 or 1.4-ish. If there'd be something like 2.0, I'd buy it, definetly." Cliff Notes Version: Not enough bang for the buck, but again only he can answer. ezz; "i have the funds, i have played board wargames since the 80's and computer wargames since Harpoon one on 5.25 inch floppys, and I could buy this game. But i won't .. for all of the above reasons , and the fact that I have only a limited amount of time to play now. If it was 'buy Cross of Iron + get Bombing the Reich 1/2 price I might be more tempted'" I didn't really have to do that for you, now did I? And keep in mind that I was VERY lenient when I put people in your camp. civdiv quote:

I KNOW where you stand on the issue, so I assume that no apology will be necessary. PoE
