Default No english translation possible for Wick vs. Dundas
Hello Folks!

Sorry, but we have been fooled twice by Translators for Wick vs. Dundas. Now we must make a cut, because it is too expensive and we do not think that there are enough customers that want to by this expansion. The Sales figures will not cover the costs.
So the Add On will be available in German only as Boxed Version.

Sorry, but thats fact.
Cheers
Thomas

Well i guess that is bad news.. BUT let this be a warning to you sir ! That the English community in this type of product IS very high. And if you don't cater for both sides of the fence then you wont get ANY interest at all.. Those are the Facts.. As you say !
And if you don't wish to do a English version, then how do you know what the sales won't be? Sounds to me that it basically comes down to not wishing to do it properly in the 1st place, or it would've been more excitable on you're part. Pity really. If there were to be a English version, i probably would a purchased it!

Desatersoft have been around for a while and are more than capable of determining their market and performing a cost/benifit analysis for their products. They are in a better position than any of us to determine if they will make a profit or not.

Great

So that is it for me and others in NA then as far as the expansion is concerned. Even if we were willing to get the german version (not sure if it is compatible with the english version of the sim) Desastersoft does not have NA as a shipping location in it's store.

Been waiting obviously for the english downloadable version.

Hard to say this,but the whole reason behind the lack of customers not falling over themselves wanting to buy you're expansion is that it costs just as much as the initial software itself,which is mad.

I'm sorry to hear your news but at the same time not surprised

+1

With all the negative views expressed on forums, you can't blame third party developers for standing back and not investing in the sim.

Cheers!

It's your loss, mate!
That said, you're probably right that you wont sell many copies though because your product is simply too expensive. Some new games are cheaper than your add on.

Never mind eh!

was kind of expecting this, with all the silence surrounding it.

what about let us translate it, then? and make a 3rd party pack which can be put over the original german, so it could be played in english?

Because if they did that they couldn't ask people to pay for it after getting free help.
