May 1st? I thought you said you weren't going to make a day for it to come out!

Edit: And what is with the $29? That's kind of random!

$30 is no fair! It's too much for me! I am never ever going to buy this...you made me hate it!

Since you already paid for it, you will get it cheaper.

And remember how much normal games cost. I'd say this program is on the level of professional games.

Ya, I really think this game isn't worth $30, and I'm not trying to give any ideas, but US is probably worth a good $60 or $70, based on other simulator's prices that are similar.

After much debate we're feeling pretty good about $29.

This makes it affordable for more people.

deoxy99 · « **Reply #66 on:** March 16, 2010, 02:48:41 PM »

For more? It's for less people!

atomic7732 · « **Reply #67 on:** March 16, 2010, 07:14:06 PM »

I think Dan means compared to most games!

PS2: 49.99
PS3: 59.99
Sims 3: 69.99
Most computer games: 49.99
XBox 360: 59.99
Most science simulators that are good and work: $50-200

deoxy99 · « **Reply #68 on:** March 17, 2010, 09:42:33 AM »

Most computer games are 19.99!

Dan Dixon · « **Reply #69 on:** March 17, 2010, 11:14:34 AM »

Computer games are all different prices:

Perhaps it's just wishful optimism. Please be sensitive.

Are you sure it's not pessimism?

At Walmart, lots of games, excluding Spore and those games, cost 19.99.

bessy · « **Reply #76 on:** March 19, 2010, 05:53:11 PM »

i say if the program is going to be upgraded and refined with new features after release

id happly pay Â£50 for it i mean most of my games cost that much from the shop so... its what i would expect it to cost

PS i don't know the exchange rates atm so can't change in to $ for you

deoxy99 · « **Reply #77 on:** March 19, 2010, 06:08:41 PM »

That would be 67.68 USD, and that is too much.

Chaotic Cow · « **Reply #78 on:** March 20, 2010, 11:57:33 AM »

WAY TOO MUCH.

deoxy99 · « **Reply #79 on:** March 20, 2010, 12:26:45 PM »

No, WAY WAY WAY WAY TOO MUCH.

Chaotic Cow · « **Reply #80 on:** March 21, 2010, 09:32:27 AM »

Not that I'm sayings it's not worth that much.

Just a lot of teens and younger people get turned off by high prices.

Naru523 · « **Reply #81 on:** March 21, 2010, 12:44:45 PM »

I actually can buy it... I think. I have 50 bucks right now LOL.

Well done, Dan Dixon. You have surely made an improvement in this simulator, as well as some errors, but you have made a good program.
