Ok .

Thanks, this was very much useful. Some games on this site that I didn't know existed.

Seems like a pretty good site , will certainly keep an eye on it , thanks for the info :)

The only one im interested in is Holy Avatar vs Maidens of the Dead, but it was only released a few weeks ago so have nfi what its like
Niche category and some games are actually worth their price ie Distant Worlds

Few years back, paradox games general were a niche. It was a good marketing strategy and improved development of their games that allowed them to hit mainstream.

AGEOD seems to be incapable of doing so. Same goes with Battlefront.com. If they only wanted, they could reach mainstream market (without dumbing down their games, see Crusader Kings 2), but they are just too stupid to do so.

That's just my opinion. With games like Combat Mission: Afghanistan (or Shock Force) it would be more than just a "dream".

But hell, if they don't want my money... I won't give it to them.

The mainstream isn't launch game, wait a few months and then drop the prices to $5 (thats a digital steam reseller strategy imho hehe. Maybe those other companies think they can stay as they are (some do i imagine). Must be doing ok if they still pump out games and not have to resort to beg to go on Steam

I don't need to buy them on steam. I would buy them anywhere, but not for heavy dough. Years back, everybody thought "Operation flashpoint / ARMA is too hardcore to ever go mainstream!" , and we were so wrong.

And yeah, you're right - it seems just like they are fine with their current position, because they don't seem to evolve for over a decade.

And AGEOD people were surprised Alea Jacta Est was not greenlit on steam. LOL.

And if they want, they may keep their high initial prices, but damn... I am waiting for Napoleon's Campaigns or American Civil War discount for a few years now, and still nothing...

If they wanted to earn more money, they definitely should introduce their games to as many people as they can - for example by having sales.

Some companies just don't move with the times (not only with digital gaming).If they dont want to expand, make gobs of money so be it. The DRM is a pain though LOL.
Im wondering what the criteria steam has to greenlight games and reject others...hmmmmm

Ubisoft deal today is Far Cry 3 40% off $41.99 ($39.99USD for franchise pack)

Steam Daily Deal

http://store.steampowered.com/app/102500/

KIngdoms of Amalur Reckoning 50% off $14.99 (base game)
Kingdoms of Amalur Reckoning Collection 50% off $24.99
Kingdoms of Amalur Reckoning Legend of Dead Kel DLC $4.99
Kingdoms of Amalur Reckoning Teeth of Naros DLC $4.99
Kingdoms of Amalur Reckoning Weapons and Armor Bundle $2.49

People didn't vote for it. Especially after they said "we will make a very good initial price! Only 25 euro!" Even their oldest games remain priced high.. I would be fine with 25 EUR if they ever were to be discounted...

Well, I know what you're going to think but... I want their games, I can't afford their riddiculous prices, so...

edit: now I see they made some expansions to Alea Jacta Est. Avaible only on their freaking website... Not even on gamersgate. Those stubborn bastards...

So $40 for all three games? That seems like a pretty sweet deal considering the freshness of the third game. Honestly I would be totally tempted if I could not already hear my poor old PC quivering in fear just at the thought of trying to run them. That, and I could actually work up carefactor for FPS. ;)

i was lucky to nab it during a Gamestop glitch (Uplay code) for $8 (probably used up all my luck for the year though..).Of what ive played its quite a good game :).

Maybe you could try to find them in retail then. I bought the "AGEOD's Military Strategies" pack dirt cheap (15euros maybe?) and this one includes American Civil War, World War One (not gold) and Wars in America. There's also Military Strategies 2 (Pride of Nations, World War One and Napoleon's Campaigns) for 10$ on [url= http://www.amazon.com/Ageod-Military-Strategy-Pack-2-Pc/dp/B008P96PDE/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1363 475986&sr=1-1&keywords=military+strategies+ageod] Amazon.com[/url] from UK seller.

Hmm... I didn't know about that... Good hint, thank you. I will look around, definitely!

Towers of Ajura $3

On Shiny Loot
http://www.shinyloot.com/towers-of-ajura

Thought I would point this out - I'm really sick and tired of these types of RPGs
however this one is and open-ended sandbox game and quite good so far.

Note that I think that "10-15 hours Game Play" is considering if you take over everything
Having said that it looks to be a relatively short RPG but the different hero types might
make it worth playing through a few more times. Pretty good amateur effort.
