So somebody tell me in a nutshell what silmarillon is?

As far as marketing look at some of the great art work on PC games. Then look at the quality of the game. Well for me I either buy a game out of word of mouth or I buy the first in its genre for 10 bucks. Its after playing the first in the series that may entice me to buy further into it.

If you've noticed in stores they are selling the battle collection(forget how its labeled) with both MTW and VI in it for 30 bucks. To me thats a bit of a steep price for a game that old but apparently its still pumping out sales. Of course they did this to even promote further sales of RTW. They buy it they love it and they want the sequal. They also might have recalled all of there other boxes out in the market so they could put even more RTW videos in it rather than just have that 1 video that is on the VI CD. So the people buying these get all of these videos in 1 shot rather than having to DL it, promoting the game even further.
