Purchase Options

Post by DumKopf »

Hi there, just wondering how this game will be released?

Having a boxed version? Download only?

Perhaps even released on the Steam platform? This would surely increase penetration to those who might not be able to get their hands on a boxed copy.

Cheers for your time,

The first thing my wife said after I told her the news was how much is it going to cost?

Can you give us any idea of cost?

Would you consider Steam? It's becoming quite the popular platform.

I think it would be cool if matrix could come up with something similar to steam.

Or just release it on steam which already has a massive user base.

No kidding......I hope a full, detailed list of changes is put out before/during release before I shell out that much on this baby.

Is it feasible to port CC to any of the consol game machines?  (you could pre-set the defaults of perfect morale and unlimited ammo for the flash-bangers)

It does make me chuckle a bit listening to people's evaluation of what's 'value for money'.  A round of 5 beers will cost around $20 here, so save 2 rounds and get weeks/months possibly years of enjoyment from a game [;)] Everything is relative... then again, spending $50 on a game or buying your beloved a Valentine's present could change the relativity [:)] 
 
I am sure those that buy will enjoy it.

I'd tried putting up an add on wargamer.com if you haven't done so yet.

The price doesn't seem out of line to me.  You can always wait for it to go on sale at Best Buy for $10 off, usually the first or second week they have it.
 
Another question:  If you want to have the game loaded on both a main home computer and a laptop, will this be legally possible with a single copy?

I'll pay whatever they charge.

Firstly for the time versus money argument, WITP is the most effective entertainment dollars ever spent for me.
Secondly, I think of it as a donation to further the development of the next CC release (the one after COI) which I think WILL include significant improvements.

Well said mate and yes I agree totally. However, instead of donation, I myself consider it more of an investment in the future of CC itself. The wealth of incredible knowledge, inspirational modders and gifted map makers out there that can be harnessed to drive this game well into the future is astonishing. IMO, CC can only go from strength to strength.

10 beers! You can always duck out to the crapper for two shouts and save the money that way to buy it!!
Works for me!

I won't mind shelling out $40 for a CC title that is graphically enhanced by Marc Schwanebeck. First of all, I'd consider it backpay for all the time I spent playing CC5 with Marc's graphics mods. :) And I won't turn my nose on any other improvements, but the game as-is is pretty darned fun.
