Yeah, this sucks. Descent 3 is the only game I miss from the trilogy. Now I don't feel like paying this much for it. Already I paid more than I would have ideally liked for the first two. What a disappointment.
Masoniter: To make matters worse, after a certain point some years ago, whoever is behind Interplay now and the rights to all the old Interplay titles like Descent and Shogo and Stonekeep--they just stopped putting the games on sale for more than 20% off. Like, I would like to have all the old Interplay titles in my library, but I am not sure that I want to pay even 8 bucks for Stonekeep thirty years after its release.
Exactly. I have a few Interplay games in my wishlist, they have been sitting there for years in wait for a reasonable price, and now I'm afraid they will stay there forever, as those prices have been steadily increasing. I regret not having bought them pre-2020, when they were dirt cheap.
Masoniter: Someone should tell them they would make more money by making the games cheaper and just selling more copies.
This seems so obvious... so why don't they grasp this simple truth, that looks so plain to you, me, and a lot of other people? We must be missing something...
My only hope at this point is that this price change preludes to the launch of a Descent bundle with dynamic pricing, with a substantial discount for buying all three games. But how likely this is, I have no idea. Not much, probably.
