I got my copy on a sale from Impulse (the limited edition version with about 50% discount in total). So there may not be a sale often but at least I got mine cheaper than I originally budgetted for.

Moosetek13, your reasoning suggest it is a bad thing full stop, but it doesn't have to be. (I agree that it *might* be, but it doesn't *have* to be) Currently you can buy a computer with a small or a large HDD, a weak or a powerfull GPU. This allows you to select (and pay for) any features you want. Is that a bad thing? This allows intel to cater to customers more specifically and it gives them direct feedback what kind of features are wanted
I agree with the anger in these posts but don't think this is really something new. From my own industry: if you buy a car with manual air conditioning, the chances are that you actually get the same thing as a full automatic climate control system except for a 50cent sensor. But if you actually want the full automatic climate control system, it will set you back several hundred dollars although the development has already been done and the hardware is already in your car. It's just not worth
[quote]Maybe a succession system could be the way to avoid the fact that those that are strong early on will have a great chance to win. You would also have to think about succession.[/quote] :) [quote who="Spartan" reply="11" id="1929034"]Well since this is supposed to be a RPG I think a lineage system should be used. One like in Crusader Kings or like the system in the Total War series. It would really expand the game play options especially will heirs and traits.[/quote]</
