It doesn&#8217;t have a sprawling GUI like the PC version does on bigger monitors, but I think that is made up for by the convenience of touch controls and the &#8216;take-it-anywhere&#8217; nature of the ipad. I hope it will do well. Annoyingly apples sales reports seem to lag by two days so I have no idea if anyone bought it yet.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve priced it at a BARGAIN price of $9.99. This is cheaper than on PC, but then its fixed resolution, no mod support etc, so I suspect it&#8217;s reasonable. I really don&#8217;t care about anyone on the app store complaining about the price. You can basically fuck off and die in a fire if you think the game is overpriced. That&#8217;s the official developer &amp; publisher position BTW. People who think $10 is overpriced for a game should go play angry birds of flappy birds, or similar fare and stop whining :D.<\/p>\n<p>I hope it does well, partly because I like money, but mostly because ever since I bought an ipad, it&#8217;s sat and gathered dust, with far too few decent involved strategy games for the platform. If D3 does well, I&#8217;ll tell everyone so they can see it as a viable platform for more &#8216;serious&#8217; strategy gaming. That would be a *good thing*.<\/p>\n<p>Please help me spread the word.
