yinan: I cannot see what's wrong here as GOI is a good game and nothing wrong with IGS sale...
Sigh, people got a great game with cheap price but still be shouted for something wrong..
Maybe it's time for human race to be exterminated :)
It's a game that doesn't support LAN and which nobody is playing. When you have a game that is multiplayer only and dependent on the dev's server, it doesn't matter how good it is. No players means no game. And reviving a multiplayer community has almost never happened.
It's not being offered at a low price for the sake of generosity, it's being offered because it won't sell at any higher price, specifically because of the low server population. They're hoping to cash in on the pressure that a time-limited offer like this provides, because they know that the game is dead in the water.
I haven't been on Steam in a while so I couldn't say if it has already happened, but my bets will be on Steam offering a free weekend at some point in the very near future.
