Default Re: You can't complain that this game is costly

Most of the people who complain about the price of computer games seem to forget that they're a luxury item, and that luxury items go for whatever people will pay for them. They've also been spoiled by the mainstream publishers' business model of soaking the early adopters for as much as they can before the word gets out about how bad the game is, then dumping whatever inventory they have left at fire sale prices. (I'd also mention people forgetting anything they learned in economics class, but most people haven't even taken one.)
