Wait, since when are we upset about a game launching at $40? Most big games still launch at $60.
Sure, father of two here. So I’m quite familiar with the adult world. I’m just saying that if you can’t afford to buy it then you can’t afford it. Don't go using your financial situation to justify theft.
Games seem to be the only experience that people feel they have a right to engage in without first paying the cost of admission and it’s really weird.
Sorry, but if $40 is alot to spend on a game for you then you might want to think about finding a new hobby. That’s just how much it costs to play games. And if you can afford to drop $500-$1000 on a computer then I don’t see why $40 is such a big investment.
The Talos Principle has the same price point, but it did very well and is a very similar game. Perhaps The Witness hasn’t had its first sale or word-of-mouth boost yet.
Everyone has been a dick to him ever since the 2015 Championship Win. “Lucky”, “won’t ever win another MVP”, too small to play basketball.
There are jump ropes made of leather now? What the fuck?
I’m not anti-AAA. I’m pro-consumer choice and industry variety. You’re the one who seems to be pro-corporation and anti-independent developers. None of your "arguments" make the least bit of sense. You're literally arguing for a games industry with less choice, less variety, and less power in the hands of consumers.…
Then your argument fails on every level. If you’re insisting that work put in doesn’t equal worth, then you have no goddamn right to say that “no indie game is worth $40". Inherently, you’re saying that just because it was made by an “independent” developer, i.e. not a massive company, it’s worth drops. That…
Ok, that’s your opinion. And it’s fucking stupid. There’s plenty of games “worth” $40 or more, indie or commercial. There’s plenty of $60 games that aren’t even worth half of that. Worth is subjective, and you’re certainly entitled to your own stupid misguided opinion, but that’s all it is. A misguided opinion.
Fantastic write up! $40 is perfect, to boot. Paid $15 for Braid back in the day. That ran him what? - $200K to make? Given that this has taken this bloody long, and Blow’s sunk a few million of his profits from Braid to make it happen, I absolutely feel like his pricing is on target.
Former LE here.
Kinda seems disingenuous to call it a back and forth when 99% of the comments are coming from one side. Outside of a tweet by Gronk (who legitimately might not even know the name of the team he's playing), there's been nothing from New England.
Given that I hold pets in much higher regard than I hold people, I usually flip the question around and wonder why I couldn’t travel with nothing but dogs. Much better company, and smarter to boot.
I don’t know about better. For creating stories, it’s hard to beat Crusader Kings.
I would space CKII about 1/2 a blocks distance right of EU, dealing with individuals instead of a single country entity and succession.
I have an alternative theory as to why Brady is successful, and it strays from the accepted narrative, because I don’t factor in the inflation of the footballs. You see, I think Brady is successful because he’s TOM FUCKING BRADY. I’m a Baltimore fan, so I’m definitely no Boston fanboy, but for crying out loud, if…
UPDATE: We have no proof that Darius Fleming was not robbing the motorist. Sources from TMZ confirm that a “patriot” was suspiciously holding a Dunkin Donuts Coolatta, which is only available in January in the Avon, Randolph, and Milton locations, not in Sharon, Foxboro, Dedham, or Walpole. Authorities have not ruled…
