Default Re: Ordering question

DUDE, I already bought the game, we are not talking about me, or you. BUT, there are other people who do not buy the game because of this, ok? Still, would company A rather have a customer buy a game now or in 2 years down the line? (or far more)
Plus, just because you can afford to pay the extra, it doesn't mean that other people can. Good for you that any extra amount is nothing, but for others it is a big enough matter to not buy the game.

Wdll I was just putting another point of view

Was just pointing out that unless you just play on the odd occasion so would not be considering buying you are not going to get much cheaper entertainment.

Yes this game would suite download as a printed manuel is not important in this instance & never did I dispute this.

Yes I would pay more for a game that does not need the CD in the drive or force me to input a code

Yes if it was expensive I would want to know if its worth buying.
I will not buy a game now unless it has a demo because I am fed up of getting my fingeres burned with recycled pap.
Basicly I do not like being riped off with shody workmanship but I am willing to pay for a good product.
Does not matter what it is the shody product will sit gathering dust while the good one will get used. Even if it was 10x more expensive its still cheaper in the long run to buy the good product because of this.

These same people will probably moan that despite being years old the game still commands full price it should be bargin basement prices now.
They may even spend more than the price of the game in one night out & yet thats good value go figure.

Games undergoing constant development despite being "years old" do not belong in the "bargain basement". Anyone who thinks so can go themselves. ( and Yes. I know Imp isn't suggesting this is how it should be ) Any game that lasts this long in this market is a classic. It's certainly being played now by a second generation of players and we know the graphics aren't as snappy as the first person shooters out there but that's not what this games all about




expect a decision about DD in a few days
