Why is Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor still $30 dollars?

Taken from Wikipedia

Normally I keep this blog strictly for photos, but I just can't believe that one of THQ's latest title releases Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor is still $30 USD. Now, I love Company of Heroes. I haven't played more of any game, ever. I've been playing it since it came out, pre-ordered Opposing Fronts, and have loved all of it. Not to mention THQ's excellent support, releasing some 15-20 patches in the first years, balancing gameplay and fixing bugs [unlike Electronic Arts, who ruined my older favorite game, Command & Conquer: Generals and its sequel: Zero Hour, by releasing 3 patches and then publicly announcing a halt to support less than a year later].

I wanted to buy Tales of Valor, but when I found out it was $30 for a short campaign and no bonus armies, and few new units at all, I decided to not purchase it and wait. Now, thinking it was dropped down to $10, I might pick it up. But no, it is still $30, 2 months after its release. It hasn't been getting good reviews, and hasn't been selling well, and yet somehow it is still $30. What the heck THQ! You're usually on top of things, but come on!

Anyway, that's my rant for today. And since this is a photo blog, I leave you with this photo:
