Well, that's the nominal full retail price against which the various discounts are measured, sure, but I doubt that's what most people buying it these days pay except if they are getting something else with it. I'm pretty sure it's in the stack of things I've gotten free this year on Epic that's in my “I might check it out sometime” queue, it's $29.98 right now from Humble Bundle, etc.
