*shrug* I've worked in the gaming industry, albeit pen and paper RPGs, and the one thing I truly love about the industry across all spectrums is the creativity and resilience of the small press.

Whenever I see an outstanding computer/board/pen-and-paper RPG game from a small-time developer, I try to pick it up. Yes, the EA's and Wizards of the Coast's of the world make some fantastic products -- and I support them too. But I guess rooting for the underdog, particularly the one who loves his craft and pursues it with all his spare time energy, is just that much more enjoyable. What I lose in the graphical flash of the bigger companies, I get back in terms of my satisfaction in a broader marketplace and a certain "labor of love" quality within these games that makes them unique.

So, yeah. The price tag really doesn't phase me, even though I think it's about as high as a game of this sort should ever go in the current market.
