Hi Tom.
While I agree mainstream console or pc games are much more expensive, at the
same time audio games are actually about average for indi developed stuff at
least on pc.
Look at the smugglers games for 25 usd as an example, and for simpler arcade
titles the price is far less, especialy for games without complex graphics
or sound.
I don't myself find audio game prices unreasonable, but equally as with lots
of things I don't think mainstream comparisons to games that are sold in
shops with tax and markup are reasonable either.
Beware the grue!
Dark.

Hi Shaun:
Well, you might be willing to pay $200 for a good game, but I am
certainly not willing to spend that on a game. Any audio game
regardless of the replay value. I suspect many other audio gamers
would not either.
However, as to the issue of cost you are right that many audio games
are $30or less. However, that is actually much cheaper than a lot of
mainstream games sell for. Just recently I was looking for some new
games for my son's Wii U, and a lot of them were up around $40 or
more. So we should consider ourselves lucky that Shades of Doom, Tank
Commander, and Time of Conflict which are almost mainstream quality
aren't as expensive as your average PC or console game.
Cheers!

Well there are exchane rates and the like to.
I'd pay 200 for a game if I knew it would be good quality.
Most games are 30 or so bucks unless its a pack.
There have been a few acceptions ofcause.
entombed and tdv being really large games actually are worth a lot
more but even so.
In the shops prices do drop as games get older, etc.
I am not going to suggest we should drop our prices, but to be honest
blind games really have not bar a few had really good replay value.
Even shades of doom for me after I played it several times I only do
every so often.
And for a lot of games you get used to how things will be.
Even in the games I am helping with even with the real sound engine
that is used you do know where things are.
Stuff like entombed or tdv well there is a lot of random things to.
