Older Games Costing Less

[macrio]

It is just a small suggestion i think a game like TEW 2007 should cost less that TEW 2010. What do you think ?

It does. TEW07 is $24.95 and TEW10 is $34.95. But the point is, even though the game is distributed online it still has some base costs for every game and the game, even if rarely bought, still has to make some profit. It's already cheaper than most games are, and if you are going to buy a TEW game then you are going to spend a LOT of hours playing it, giving you incredible value for money in a cost:gameplay comparison. Though to be honest, you'd be better off paying whatever the extra is to get the latest TEW as it's leaps and bounds ahead of even TEW08.

I agree, it seems stupid that 08 and 10 are the same price.

Stupid isn't a good word to throw around at anyone, would rather not see it on here. There's two likely reasons for why it's the same price. The first is that with the release of TEW2010 there was no need to contact e-license in order to change the price, as anyone being introduced to the series would logically start with the best/newest game in the series, and as such lowering the price would only encourage people to invest in a lower quality product.

The other is that it may be an oversight... but honestly, with all the reasons already mentioned there is little to worry about. I can't imagine TEW07 or TEW08 get much of a look in with TEW2010 around for those who are willing to pay the small cost of the game (relative to games in general) and there's always TEW05 for those too poor or too cheap to pay for something that can entertain them for hundreds of hours.

I agree, for example when Madden 11 came out Madden 10 wasnt still 55.00

TEW08's price is an oversight, we simply forgot to reduce it - it's being addressed now.

The original post is incorrect though, 07 was dropped in price ages ago and isn't the same price as TEW2010 at all.
