If Nadeo main goal is to make this game popular, the price should be enough low to let players that are not 100% convinced about what they see in trailers/streaming, to buy it in anycase. I wouldnt spend 20eur for a title I'm not conviced about.. I probably would only if it costs less or something like 9/10$.

Where is it a problem?
I certainly fully understand and accept you're not willing or not able to pay, but this is just your personal opinion, nothing less nothing more, and definitely not the opinion of the whole community.
One can afford and is willing to purchase, another can afford but is not willing, and a third is willing but cannot afford the purchase, for different reasons.
There is simply not any perfect price, and unless Nadeo does the "Humble Bundle" thing where one can pay what he wants, the price tags are fixed for some time.
And it is up to Nadeo to see if they are successfull or not with it. You can be sure they will change their strategy soon enough if it doesn't work as expected.
But where in the world are we now that we can tell the creators for how much they have to sell their products?
Of course there are the economic rules of demand and supply, but this is self-regulating with healthy conccurence.
Some dealers and companies allow to bargain, but the loss is only on their side, and even then they still make the profit somewhere else.
But Nadeo is a small company, it has to earn its money itself, despite Ubisoft in the background.
If no one is ready to support them by purchasing their games, there soon won't be anything to play with.
Because if Nadeo has no money, they cannot work on the game. If they cannot work on the game, there is nothing to play with, or only totally outdated games where the existence of the servers depends on the good will and support of the same community.
So this is exactly the point where Stadium fans (I call them Staddics now - from Stadium Addicts
) can prove that they are willing to support Nadeo and thank Nadeo for the long time free version.
Instead of bothering, those who can afford, should support. And the others should shut up if they're only complaining.
Asking, demanding with please is always ok. But not with blackmailing of the sort "it must be free or we don't play".
Besides this, everyone had the chance to purchase a reduced price key for the full game during the Beta tests.
Now this is over, please don't cry
Infarctus, you're so damn right unfortunately.
Same for the people who have high class car and very expensive smartphone, but who did not get the multimedia connection kit to allow handsfree calls... so what do they do? complain about the safety rules and the fine when they got caught in the act, or laugh at the others who pay for something they don't think necessary...
There are much to many extremes showing up, but the good way of a powerful and friendly "community" is very missing lately
I have the impression that there are only many individualists (not to say egoists) which are hiding behind a community that effectively doesn't exist. To different are the opinions and the whishes.
But this is a totally different philosphic discussion, which can be conducted in the off-topics
with hardware prices & other prices
