Huh? Piracy=stealing. How is my example different from his?

It is the point since obviously these high prices aren't hurting the game companies' bottom line. They're obviously making the optimum money at the current prices, otherwise they'd lower their cost. Not to mention they have to charge enough to match the cost of development for each game, thus your example is irrelevent anyways since they'd be losing money if they charged any less than they are per item. Contrary to what people think, these companies DO actually work out formulae to see what would be the optimal selling price per item in order to cover all expenses and make a profit in the process.

You do tend to scare people. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's relevent how?

A Ferrari costs approx. $100 grand (low end) here A Corvette can be had for $40 grand A mansion in a rich area costs over $1 million Aren't these reasons enough to steal?

But then again video games aren't a necessity good, they're a luxury good. Thus it isn't "disgusting" that game companies try to make money off an item that isn't needed to survive. Is it "disgusting" that Ferraris and Porches cost so much? Not really, because they're a luxury item that are only bought by those who have the means to do so.

Pfft! I've yet to see proof this stereotype is false. I recall a picture thread in way off topic in which none of the females posted a pic to prove it wrong.

The pirate ship obviously didn't have a wizard on board to cast a fireball spell.

So I'm being picked on for telling the truth? "

Stop picking on me.

General Grievous!

I'm mean all the time. I'm just downright cruel when I'm drinking. But seriously Darque: Wisdom 4 Charisma 9 Intelligence 8

Wisdom 4

Intelligence 8.

I gotta remember to fill this thing out eventually. But not now. I've been drinking heavily and I don't think my answers would be what DL wants.

Darque's charisma is at about 9

General Grievous.

Not necessarily. For instance, Indigo Prophesy is listed at $39.99 on EB games' website (US dollars). I got mine for $44.99 Canadian. With the exchange rate, that'd be like $30 US.

It fluctuates. I thought it was closer to about .87 cents for every 1 US dollar.

It cost about $45 new. I paid I believe $49.99 for TSL (but that was the PC version, not sure how much the XBox version goes for). The games are usually in the $49.99 to $69.99 range, with some coming out at about $40.

We can get some games here for less than $50. But it's quite rare. Indigo Prophecy, ironically, is one of them.

This is one of the reasons I keep my game buying habbits to a bare minimum, only actually purchasing the games I really, really want. The rest are either borrowed from friends, or rented.

The main reason I'd rather play single player is because my computer is too crappy to play online. Sure I can play online, but at the expense of incredibly bad performance. Thus I tend to favor consoles for shooter types and tend to favor single player games over multiplayer.

Exactly. There's enough "character templates" available between the various cowboy and indian archetypes to have variety in choosing the type of character you want to make. I'd actually be quite stoked for this type of RPG. I'm curious why no one's thought to develope this kind of game.

Actually, wouldn't it be more accurate to say that the ending depends on your choice of dialogue with Kreia? I haven't tested the theory as I've always chosen the dialogue that reflects the alignment I had throughout the game, but wasn't one of the things that bothered people the fact that you could act any way you wanted, but the ending only depended on what you said to Kreia at the end?

That's surprising. "
