It`s more like 5 years.
But why wouldn`t it sell? Kilrathi Saga sold pretty well, and it`s still popular.

Just because there's few people that want to buy it, doesn't mean that KS is still popular. And at least KS, was designed for Win, and capable of runing on most curent systems, WC4 DVD is just better FMV and sound quality.
BTW, since WC4 uses the WC3 engine, and WC3 uses the Armada engine, it would be a little more than 5 years, maybe even 6.

Classics are not usually made because people want them -- in fact, just the opposite. Classics are simply repackaged merchandise that people *didn't* want before. That's why there's lots of Ultima Collection classics and no Wing Commander IVs.

I don`t see a lot of other games go for 300$ on ebay, so compared to other old games it`s still fairly popular.
As for the flight engine, you`re basically right, but by that definition, you could say it`s as old as Strike Commander`s flight engine which came out in `92 and was worked on for 2 years, which makes it more than 10 years old, actually.

Just because there are few fanatics that are willing to pay $300 or more for a game, doesn't mean that most people would. People that but KS for those prices are either die hard WC fans, or someone who's just collecting rare games. There aren't that many people who would pay $300 for KS. I know I wouldn't.Mad Hatter said:
According to LOAF, the Armada engine isn't the SC engine. The SC engine was just used for ground missions.As for the flight engine, you`re basically right, but by that definition, you could say it`s as old as Strike Commander`s flight engine which came out in `92 and was worked on for 2 years, which makes it more than 10 years old, actually.

If WCIV were to be re-released, even with only Prophecy-style flight engine (Look, feel, control, etc.), that alone would skyrocket the price of the game, since it would most likely come on at least 8-10 CD's.
I would buy it if both the flight engine and the movies were made in better quality.

You`re missing the point. People pay 300$ for KS not because they want to. Auctions reach these prices because a lot of people are bidding for it, and simply don`t know how to bid for an item. I am a big WC fan but I will not pay 300$ for it either, plus, most of these auctions are U.S shipping addresses only, and a lot of people can`t participate in them anyway.
Fanatics don`t exist where there aren`t any regular people, because in that case they wouldn`t be fanatics by definition. This means that if there are quite a few fanatics out there willing to pay 300$ for KS, you can imagine how many non fanatics are out there that would gladly buy it for up to 50 bucks.

People pay 300 dollars for KS on eBay... but all that means is that there's a pool of 20 people who want 10 copies of KS and are fighting over it. This will not make any money for Origin.

I wasn`t asking for a re-re-re....release (of course, I can always hope). The whole point of this discussion is why not release WC4DVD commercially. I brought up the example of KS, because people are still interested in it even though it`s technology is old.
