Yeah but <a href="http://tuxgames.com">tuxgames.com</a> is charging $60.00 for it when <a href="http://amazon.com">amazon.com</a> is charging $17.99 for it.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Dec 4, 2008 at 10:13 PM, Eric Jackman <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:eric@polycypher.com">eric@polycypher.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

purchased the game from <a href="http://tuxgames.com" target="_blank">tuxgames.com</a> you wouldn't have been charged yet,<br>
you wouldn't have a useless game on your shelf, and epic wouldn't think<br>
that your purchase of UT3 as a completed transaction. An incomplete<br>
transaction is potentially market pressure. Providing that the developer<br>
(Epic in this case not Ryan) cares.<br>
