Very true! ANd we are very appreciative of those that do!

But we understand everyone doesn't have the luxury, so we provide as many options as we can to get games into players hands.

interestingly based on past polls about 25% of you are "hard core" fans that go out of your way to support us. About 65% of you are the "silent majority" that does what you can and the 10% that is left seem to REALLY dislike us.

Interestingly that "disenchanted 10%" seems to be the case with other wargame companies too.

Are you the same 10%???

just kidding :D

Have we just P'd you off? or is there any hope of reclaiming you?

[QUOTE=Fallschirmjager]Buying directly from Matrix give them a MUCH larger cut of the profits from the games sale[/QUOTE]

Hmm. e.g. Korsun Pocket bought online. $49.99 + $8.95 (I think?) shipping. Total Price $58.94. Converted to �37.40, with several days delay for delivery.

Alternative. Fifteen minute drive to Metrocentre. �29.99 from GAME. Maybe trade in an old PS2 game (after blowing off the dust :D ). Get loyalty points on card. Ten day no-quibble refund policy, so if I don't like it, back it goes.

I really AM on a limited budget. If I want to buy something, I look around for the best deal. Besides, Matrix will still make a profit on the sale, regardless of where I buy it from.

Another thing. Before I found this (and Battlefront's) site, I hadn't really considered the notion of supporting an individual games publisher. This is a new concept for me to deal with.
