Why are those phone games ports so damn expensive on the pc? What's the deal?

[QUOTE=junker154;44017008]Why are those phone games ports so damn expensive on the pc?

[QUOTE=junker154;44017008]Why are those phone games ports so damn expensive on the pc? What's the deal?[/QUOTE] Because people are more open to paying more for their games on PC. On mobile phones you need something damn good to charge more than a couple of bucks. Of course that's just a stupid fucking reason for raising the price and they are just being assholes. On the other hand they did a lot of work with this one, it's not a port but a complete remake. I still wouldn't say it's priced right though, should be more like 5, tops 10 dollars.
I guess you're right but I think it's still a bit exagerated. I think these ports should cost between five to ten bucks. It's not fair compared to the phone versions which cost far less, although if the games have been overhauled for pc. I guess it's fair then.
Price is a bit of an issue but it'll surely go on sale. I love the game, and I'm waiting for the Necro/Neural Worm virus updates.
I swear to god this game hates me. Like i ALMOST AND ALMOST kill them all but they all fucking cure everyone before i get to kill everyone. Nothing has changed, i guess.
