anything over $20 makes my eyes go blurry and I can no longer read the numbers so everything is like $1,000 to me.

I just don’t buy them I wait till they are cheap like $9.00 or so or cheaper if at all possible.

Seems to be the trend to release half-arsed games for the full-arsed price these days.

It’s a good way to collect additional funds but it can result it 5+ year devel cycles.

Let us not forget the DN4E of Linux games http://store.steampowered.com/app/25000/

yeah let’s collect lot’s of money and develop the game so slow, that by the time we actually have a game we are all but forgotten and made a million or so…….

The best way to steal cash, do it so slowly that nobody notice it missing. This whole trend also gave birth to the whole phenomenon of the permanent beta status. KSP come to mind don’t tell me that game is not ready for release by now. But by keeping the Beta label peoples can’t really complain about bugs or bitch that the game is never seriously discounted during steam sales.

and without that slow stealing, we wouldn’t have superman 3 nor office space.

Speaking of pre release Verdun is 75% off on flash sales. Yay or Nay on that one?

Nay it is another FPS of WWII with no real objective and not enough players ever on.
