When I see this sort of nonsense going on.
I fumbled through my gaming archives and came across my old copy of Alpha Centauri. Then I learned of its expansion, Alien Crossfire, read up on it, then I thought I'd might pick a copy up thinking it would be quick and cheap until I looked around online and saw this garbage going on.
From my personal experience, this is unheard of for PC gaming. Console gaming I can understand, but $100 collector's items for PC games?! Especially when we're talking about the era of Windows 98. Funny thing is that this package couldn't possibly retail for more than $19.99 if it were on a store shelf which is why I'm floored to see the same thing going on with a PC game expansion pack that you would normally see with a rare console game.
Furthermore, you would think that Take-Two would be pimping this stuff out via DD, but alas, it is nowhere to be found except for those are willing to far overpay for such an old title that was built around legacy OS.
