The value story
The value story
It has never been cheaper than $2.49. That was November 2020. It has been discounted 39 times in the 14 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 66 percent, about 9 weeks apart.
It is pricier than 71 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 99 percent. Silent Hunter® III ($9.99, scores 77) outscores it, and so does Wolfpack ($34.99, scores 44). Both sit among its closest neighbours.
