Probably because they are nice guys who are confident in the quality of their product and want to sell it at a reasonable price. They know quality + good price will = more sales. Mur cel, mur munee!

Im pretty sure 15 for a meaty indie game is the "sweet spot" iirc.

While everybody on this forum wants this game, the genre isn't really populair atm (which will change after this game offcource :mrgreen: ) so selling below the $15 is a sensable thing to do..

well you could buy two copies to make up for it, what is what I done, and I do agree that the game is a bit on the cheap side, but Im sure it will sell loads

The preorder price was $12! I've eaten sandwiches that cost more than that. The fact that such a potentially great game like this is so inexpensive is great!

I would have paid twice as much.... shhhhhhhh!

I know, right!? I wouldn't have though anything of it if the price was $30.

And I mean this is awesome! I was just really surprised.

Because selling a million copies at $15 is better than selling 100k at $50.

That's true. =) I hope you guys make a ton of money!

Did you know that:

"Angry Birds developer Rovio today announced the acquisition of Futuremark Games Studio, the gaming division of benchmarking software company Futuremark, which has previously released games such as Unstoppable Gorg and Shattered Horizon."

Well, I hope that when all is said and done, you have enough cash to acquire them both! :D
