Not true. They often purchase niche titles from third party vendors and then sell those items at market value. So do a lot of game retailers. This isn't new. Gamestop got their hands on more stock over and above what they agreed upon with Nintendo by going through another vendor, and now they're not beholden to…

They likely purchased reprints from a third party. This is actually a pretty standard practice with niche titles from overseas. This is hardly the first time Gamestop has done it, and they're hardly the only ones.

No, the market sets the value. That's why copies are going for $90 on Ebay, as well.

As I understand these are reprints of the game bought from a third party. That's really not a particularly rare occurance, especially with niche titles from overseas.

As I understand it they aren't getting these copies from Nintendo, however, so Nintendo likely does not get to set the MSRP. Without a specific deal with Nintendo, there's really no reason for Gamestop not to sell the game at market value.

2) They seem rather taken by the ability to swap between games and TV, which goes back to the question: Do you/we/I care enough about live TV for this to be a relevant function? And/or, would we go back to watching more live TV with a set-up like this?

Fair enough, but if you want to tell a story, you want to tell it to the biggest audience possible, I'd think, even if the money wasn't that big of a deal. This guarantees a tiny audience for his work.

Is that supposed to be a counterpoint? Because that is seriously unimpressive for a game that is as critically acclaimed as Towerfall has been.

I'm not trying to be condescending at all. It's simply that in your original post you seemed to frame the situation in such a way as to imply that the prayer, not the scenario, was what you objected to. If you don't want to play a game that evokes a personal tragedy for you, then that's understandable. The way you…

I guess what I'm saying is that I think saying "I'm only going to play games whose protagonists' values align with my own" is severely limiting from a narrative perspective, and it severely narrows the array of experiences you can have...in particular is limits the types of experiences that are likely to have the most…

You're not being forced to do anything. You're engaging in a narrative about someone else. You're not playing you; you're playing a character. Have you never, as a video game character, performed some action that you would not actually perform in real life? The game asks you to play someone else's story, not your…

That's you're decision, I'm just saying you might want to be a bit more open-minded, and step outside of your own experience to enjoy an interesting experience you would have missed otherwise. It won't cost you anything beyond the price of the game.

I think the point of it in the context of the game is that in that situation there is literally nothing else you can do. That's how desperate the situation has become; your only option to to engage in an activity you know will not help, but it's literally all you have left. I find that concept to be all the more powe…

Wow....I can't even imagine what Ouya must have given him to make putting his game exclusively on a limping, flailing device seem worthwhile.

I'm not saying Gamestop is the most upstanding business in the world, but they don't have a history of directly fucking over their biggest publishers via shady practices. The potential risk to their relationship with Nintendo in a situation like this is WAY too high to justify the potential profit they stand to make…

For instance, what is the more simple explanation; The entirety of the laws of physics, the big bang theory, the complexities of evolution, chemistry, biology and all knowledge of every other field of human inquiry, or God did it?

I copyable products have zero value, then there is zero incentive for creators to produce them and release them to the public. Your model is a creative dead end that results in the end of whatever media it is you're demanding for free.

And you're a man who talks a lot and says nothing.

If you think that's what makes you a buzzkill, then you need to re-read your original post.

Not even a little bit. I already have a controller that works fine for all of those things.
