<div class="IPBDescription">Sticker shock</div>I got an Update News dialog from Steam, with NS2 advertised... for $74.99. A bit of sticker shock there. I realize that it's the 4-pack price, but showing potential customers the $74.99 price right off the bat isn't going to sell many copies of the game...

    They are using the wrong image, because there is no image with "4pack" on it I think... The devs are doing their sleepysleep currently so it will have to wait until they do the wakeywake :P

    It's the opposite. . .

    People will see that crazy price and wonder why on earth it costs so much

    Then they might see the real price etc. . .

    <i>Yes, it needs to be fixed</i>

    yeah, that doesn't look good. A lot of people will be misled since basically everyone on steam will get that popup :(

    According to the sales, this isn't exactly slowing UWE down, but yes, it should be fixed, although MY pop-up displayed the correct price last night.

    I should specify that this advertisement appeared to me at roughly 3:30 AM EDT (give or take 15 minutes).
