Translates into $67.99 in Crazy Canuckistan Currenecy (CAD) before discount. For me most AAA new releases go for $79.99-$89.99. I feel this is a decent price point. (IMO)

Just bought it (from here of course). I think this is the first game I've bought in at least a half year, maybe more. Been playing oldies but goodies, as very few new games seem to have much appeal to me these days. Obviously Distant Worlds 2 is the exception.

Somehow I bought it for 44,99 USD.
Guess I had forgotten to set the country.

Normally I would never pre-order a game, but this is the exception! Fair price, looking forward to enjoying 1,000's of hours of enjoyment. Hope it does well so it will be supported with future DLC's.

Ordered! It is a fair price, but I would have paid more. With this, War in the East II and Campaign Series: Vietnam, I figure I am fixed for games for the rest of my life.

No its £35.09 on the matrix store in the UK and £29.69 on Steam in the UK but your point remains valid.

Steam and GOG have their own systems for "regional pricing", which we can't control, so there will be some variations in how they convert the same base USD price to other currencies. The prices on our store are a direct currency conversion based on the rates in our system, which if I recall correctly are updated regularly.

Where are you seeing that June 24, 2021?

It will release on March 10th and if you pre-order here you will get a free Steam Key to activate it on your Steam account as well.

I saw that date too. It shows up as June 24th on the page where it asks for your credit card number.
