Re: Official "Age of Empires II: HD Edition" arrives April 9
I just tried to buy it and it a download. Can`t I buy a hard DVD copy?

Now just a small projection but assume AOE HD sold very bad this past month. It averaged about 1000 buyers a day in the past 27 days; that's still a whopping 27000 players. Assuming only 50% will play online (I think more will play online though) we'll still have 13k players online. This just pisses on the current amount we have. :D
I hope low detail hills aren't removed entirely

Yeah, but the vast majority of the new players will suck and probably quit playing online after a few games.
U know what I find interesting? The top sellers list is made up by the total amount of money grossed in the past 24 hours. So consider Defiance, it has been released for only one day, it's on spot number 1 and is being played by 'bout 12k people at its peak today(http://store.steampowered.com/stats/).
Cause AOE HD is lower in the rankings we know it has been bought for a smaller total sum in the past 24 hours. Defiance however is 6 times as expensive. So we can say that the maximum number of purchases in the past 24 hrs is 6*12k people. So at best, 72k people have bought this game in the past 24 hours.
If we consider the fact that AOE HD was also on top of the top sellers list for a couple of days we could assume that a sh*tload of copies have been sold ever since it's preordering started. It's been going on for about 27 days now.

Are you sure its based on gross dollar and not number of copies? My guess is copies sold not dollar volume
Age of Empires II: HD Edition is on the 5th plase in the top sellers :!:
