We're doing some research in to pricing. Let us know how much you would pay for Panzer Corps. Please try and be honest.

Look down the options and pick the price point that best reflects your feelings about the game.

I am so eager about this I am definitely going to buy the game no matter the price!!!

I just wish that it won't cost a lot - under $30 would be nice.

Please can you post what you would pay - not what you want to pay. In your case I think you would probably buy it at $50?

We're trying to find a pricing strategy that works for everyone. The team needs to make enough money to keep going and you guys don't want to pay a fortune.

Fine. I will sell my house and I will buy the game for $150000

Post by **IainMcNeil** » Fri Jun 10, 2011 11:56 am

That's not what I meant

All I'm trying to distinguish is between what you want to pay and what you would pay.

I'd like to pay £5 for a new a blu ray film, but I would pay £10-£15 in practice. I would not pay £20.

well, I believe the majority of us beta testers are old pg maniacs that waited a looong time to see such an effort. Thus for all of us, price is not an issue. So, in my opinion, this poll should rely on neutral / unbiased οpinions to be statistically correct.
In other words, this is perhaps the only thing NOT to ask from us!

You seem to be derailing this so lets try and get back on track

The more feedback the better thanks!

I would put the question different, what if you got the game for free already and so have no personal gain or loss.

What price range would you sell this game at if you were totally looking form the outside, but having seen the game now and knowing the guys who worked on this for almost two years in 100+ hours 7 days weeks, and without pay!

I voted for I want this game no matter want, as I love this so much and I think it has massive longevity, which gives it greater value.

Having said that, in the current financial climate, i hope it is priced at a very competative rate!

I would pay at the most 30 € for a download version and maybe 36 € for a boxed version VAT included in both prices, I hate it when on top of the price you have to add VAT or any other indirect tax, problem with boxed version is that you have to add delivery costs, I never get the box version I burn the game into a cd/dvd and make my own box.

That in dollars at a exchange rate as of today (6/10/11) of 1,4614$/€ would be 43,84 $ and 52,61 $.

PGII was 48 € back in 1997/8, but this game is very similar in concept.

The price depends on two points, at first the quality of the game and the future potential (patches, upgrades, add ons), the second point is the marketing strategy.
I think all the "old" PG Fans wich played 1994 PG ... love this game and will buy it ... before i was lucky enough to bee choosen for the beta i was knowing i will buy this Game!!!

BUT in my eyes you made a mistake ... it was a fortune to discover this game ... only in a veeeeeeeery small article on www.gamestar.de i found something about this game .. one or two sentenceses and a link ...
and the informations on your page were outdatet ....

I read Magazines ... there was no article ... about the game ... no announcement ... i suggest with an good article in the Gamestar and the PC-GAMES you will attract a lot more people for this Game ... maybe a Download Demo ... one or two maps will be enough ... three are better, a mini campaign, because of the upgrading between this maps ... this will generate more people with interest ... more will purchase!

I will support you i will buy one for me and one for my best friend

And i think its worth to pay up to 50€ for the game! Because of the reason you can play it often and it will not be the same, single player campaign and multiplayer maps AND you said you will go on and make it bigger (this is an important point for a gaming press article) so up to 50€ is fair!

Edit: There should be a price difference between the download and the boxed version.

maybe 35€ / 45€

I vote for no more than 30$ for digital version.
To compare to new game : Pride of Nation digital version worth 30$ for complex game.
I prefer a low price game with DLC to buy later than a game with high price and perhaps no future patches.

MrWhite · Post by **MrWhite** » Fri Jun 10, 2011 4:02 pm

I voted for aroung 40$, because I think it´s an digital download and so no box or printed manual if this would be in, I would be willing to pay around 50,- . After the answers in the "Bridges" threat I think it´s worth the price, hopefully

Razz1 · Post by **Razz1** » Fri Jun 10, 2011 4:12 pm

$50 USD is the going rate. 60 for some new games.

No way would I pay 60, maybe 50 for boxed version. After all it is old, and simple.

$40 USD for digital.

At $45 USD boxed and $36 digital seems reasonable and fair.

Minenfeld · Post by **Minenfeld** » Fri Jun 10, 2011 5:04 pm

For a digital release, $30 is fair. I'd be willing to go as high as $50 however.

Post by **IainMcNeil** » Fri Jun 10, 2011 5:04 pm

I'm talking about the Digital price without a box here. It costs us about $10 to print boxes on demand and varies with manual costs so boxed versiosn are usually $10 higher as a pass through cost to give added value to consumers.

Taxes are not included in the price I'm asking here.

So this is the base value of the game, a box would be more, and taxes might be more depending on your local tax system.

30-35$ is regular, panzer general contained africa continent. I also for the lower base price and option to buy the DLC for 5-8$?? (Africa, Pacific)
Panzer Corps is a very nice game, but missing important part of Africa.

Or, more cost (+-45$ ?), but adding africa for free.

lordzimoa · Post by **lordzimoa** » Fri Jun 10, 2011 5:32 pm

Africa deserves and will get some extra proper attention, we have plans, one of my own favourite campaigns DAK and Rommel... it itches already.

I found this game on wargammer.net, the newer wargames they cover all sell for around $50 in US. Good turn based wargames are very rare, and the market for those games is much smaller than mainstream titles. I bought a nintendo ds to play a few! The point is these guys put their hearts into this game, and sounds like they will keep improving it going forward, that dedication is "priceless".
I would say $50 for a box and manual, and $40 or $45 for a download.
