It is so ****..........
I was reading about how much it costs u guys for games..... I 'bought' AC from some bloke with Caesar 3 Imperialism 2 CTP and AC for 20 bucks, of course, they were ripped. But if i had of bought them from a shop, I would have ended up spending around $80 Bucks AUS each game.
Surely it cant cost that much for a game to be made overseas and shipped over here...... $80 bucks aus is around 40 US now but used to be 70 US and that was way too much - I mean WHAT BLOODY TAX ADDS AROUND HALF THE PRICE TO THE GAME AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think that the resellers over in the us are re selling in australia round 5 - 6 times..............
We need to set up a comittie to stop this ****.

I heard that a long time ago. That is really unfair to you guys. That is all it is is an excise tax on you.
Well, if it makes you feel any better they are taxing us here for gas, alcohol, cigerettes etc... Still that is outrageous the about of tax you folks pay for just aobut everything.

I completely agree with the last thing you said. We need more civil wars in SMAC2, I guess. Sure, it's a pain in the ass when a third of your cities defect, but that's part of the fun.

Actually your energy credits come from basically energy your workers collect from the surrounding terrain. It's not taxed upon your people or anything.

This thread was not about play taxes. it was about real taxes.

Thankyou for all the replies
umm, about civil wars, I love that idea. Sure, itl piss u off when you loose cities, but thats fun. Like in Civ 2 when you attack an enimys cap. city and their civ splits.
But back to the topic, its so annoying when we see advertised on the sites bames for 30 and 40 bucks, but when we but them they are really expensive. When i bought TA it was 30 bucks cause I went to a second hand place thank god.
And with my ripped AC, YAY!!!!!!! i installed the 4.0 patch yesterday, and multiplatyer and everything work. BNest thing i ever installed!!!!
