I also assume over 2,000,000 people in this country filed for banckrupcy, maxed out their limits and are heavily in debt as a result, thereby destroying their credit & rendering their ability to purchase online unviable this year.
He's also stated that he's going to be playing PC games for a very very very very very very very very very long time.

The ability to purchase online differs from the ability to puchase off retail shelves given the intrinsic nature of credit cards and e-commerce.
Not ostensibly, but yet it was a factor. Hades stated he doesn't/has never/will never buy games online. That straight aways implies his market demand criteria.

Willingness alone does not constitute market demand, although it is one of the the two necessary components. Willingness AND ability to purchase puts an individual in that market.
Ah - becase Ender stated that for someone like Hades (who constitutes a part of the common PC game market demand), $25 for for software (that solely caters to an online niche market supply), is not considered overpriced (for the common PC game market).
I still fail to see how this claim to be hardcore RPG player that doesn't care about graphics, yet can't look past the poor graphics of Geneforge, relates to me.
