On Universal Combat Pricing

In apparent response to 3000AD's Derek Smart's complaints about the price point for Universal Combat (story), DreamCatcher sends along a brief statement describing their stand on the decision to market the game as a value-priced product:

A DreamCatcher Spokesperson says “Our pricing strategy has been set in the best interests of the title and more importantly the consumer. Universal Combat provides terrific value to the consumer at $19.99 and we are happy to be able to deliver that value.”

DreamCatcher does not expect to comment further on this matter.

Publishers always set the price point, except in very rare cases.

The whole publishing agreement / developer relationships are entirely biased in favour of the publisher and developers pretty much have feck all control.

...is why, after all the previous problems, Smart does not have either control over these items or extremely specific agreements.

Wishing Smart the best,
Ray

thats a fanboy and you know it... wait for the REAL reviews

it might be a good game, but I doubt many people will be playing

maybe the 20$ pricepoint will help

Wow, DS really got screwed. Then again, isn't this just an update to a previous game? Or is it a whole new engine?
