The value story
The value story
73 discounts in the 8 years on record, a median of 75 percent off across all of them, roughly 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 3 weeks ago.
It is pricier than 90 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 99 percent. Reign Of Kings ($9.99, scores 2) outscores it, and so does This Land Is My Land ($29.99, scores 14). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

Inside the two-hour refund window, 14 percent of the 773 reviews written there were positive, against 48 percent overall, and those are 30 percent of everything written about it.
