I play very few different games so for me price is pretty irrelevant (although i do make a point of trying to avoid £40-45 games and buying them when they go on sale a couple of weeks after release),but if i want it i'll buy it. As an example of how few games i've bought 'recently': LoL - free but bought a small amount of…
again, though - steam sells a LOT of games for significantly less than the $60 mark. those are always the big AAA titles - the ones also sold at gamestop and walmart for the same amount. and again i point out - there's likely good reasons (many of them legal) why a game can't be sold for less on a digital distributor than…
Yeah man, that's definitely strange...... also a damn good question to ask Pachter. Speculation again, but maybe the developer is just looking to get that extra $$$ because people are used to paying that amount anyway ? Sneaky... but I wouldnt put it past them! Edit:…
the paradigm is changing and people are jaded. d3 is not an mmo. i often wonder why people say d2 is superior to d3 but i tried playing it again it actually sucks. i cant play it. but i also enjoyed it back in the day and i realize that it was only good back then, when mmo's didnt exist. now people are expecting the amount…

People have as much, if not more 'fun', playing a game that cost 69p or was even free on the app stores. Yet still £50 games sell on consoles and PC. I think people will buy into that for as long as they can see the value inherent in higher prices, such as a suitably rich or developed experience not possible for less money…
So I've been thinking about this for quite a while. Had conversations here at work about this as well, and it seems like people have very black and white opinions when confronted with the value of money now a days. Specially in the game industry. To me, it's just not the money, but the value of the things that you decide…
Well I finished Crysis 2. The story was confusing. The cut-scenes just confused more a lot of the time. The fighting was generally all very samey. What did strike me though was how your brain fills in for missing gaps. We see this in reading a book. My memories of the story in the book are the images I painted with my…
