 it probally cost alot less than 3$...

 yep... but one reason is that everyone new or without of
 computers have been hyped up with all those hyped words
 like information superhighway and think that 90$ for an
 application is a good price... 90$ isn't bad for an
 operating system (that isn't full of bugs or breaks down alot)
 but for a game??? i'd rather watch tv then to spend 40+ on
 a game i'll later think its boring or not have time to play it...
 but about 50% of the price of any computer software is just
 because of the brand name... microsoft... etc...
