Hurlshort Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 The $10 also isn't a permanent increase. This has happened before, and prices tend to drop back to that comfortable mark after a year or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanschu Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 To extend upon your point a bit more, $10 literally is nothing...because you don't have to buy the game. Here's a newsflash to people that complain about increases in software prices.....the price of software does go down. If that extra $10 is unreasonable by your standards, do yourself a favour, and don't buy it at that price. If you do buy it, all you have done is said that you are willing to pay that price. If literally no one buys the games with these new price increases, I guarantee you that the prices will drop very quickly. The problem comes when people make excuses such as "what can I do, I'm just one man" and have no willpower, convincing themselves that they just HAVE to have the game as soon as it comes out. If you want the game that bad, you deserve to pay extra for it. It's what supply and demand is all about. If you don't like the prices, then don't buy it at that price.

But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger." - Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials "I have also been slowly coming to the realisation that knowledge and happiness are not necessarily coincident, and quite often mutually exclusive" - meta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
