Just the one this week!

Darwinia+ - 1200MSP
The world of the peaceful Darwinians has been decimated by an evil virus and without your help they have no hope of survival. Play the full campaign or take control of a Multiwinian army and challenge your friends to some digital carnage in this IGF award winning action-strategy classic from Introversion Software. It's a stick man slaughter where only the flattest survive.

Mmm, looks good. 1200 points doesn't though. Why price at 1200 and put those off who would happily pay the 800? Stupid m$ indeed...

I'll try the demo for sure, but I feel it's inevitable that this will eventually be discounted below 1200.

I can wait it out.

I always tell myself I can wait but in the end I buy it some meager weeks before it gets discounted.... :(

Fortunately I have such a backlog of games it will probably get discounted before I get around to playing it. Like others said, I can wait for a deal on this ...

I'm definitely interested. My friend made a big deal about it a while back but I didn't have much interest in playing PC games back then.

maybe they put it at 1200 so that they can reduce to 800 during deal of the week

Probably, they'd sell more if they just made it a decent price in the first place. muppets.

Jesus christ, 1200 MSP is $15. That is not expensive! Darwinia+ is two whole games, one of which alone would cost $20 on the PC.

Because it came out how many years ago? Halo2 on PC is still $20 and its 6 years old. 1200 for that old of a game that isn't nearly big enough to cost that much is a rip-off. Pass

Too much competition. Price to compete or be labeled "expensive".

Will probably try the demo, but 1200MSP games rarely find their way to my 'bought' list...

I suppose that makes sense, but I still don't think that 1200 MSP is expensive for a game, if it's a good 'un.
