On Universal Combat Pricing

[Jan 30, 2004, 12:32 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

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.

The thing I don't get...

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

Wishing Smart the best,

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

Ouch!
