Supposedly GTA 4 cost over 100million dollars to develop..

And if anything just goes to my point. You take out the "tithe" as you said.. And you'd have games that tooks years and millions upon millions to make selling cheaper than a 2 year old indy game with subpar graphics...

You're kidding me, right?

Budweiser is cheap as hell. Why is that? Because they sell well over 50 million kegs of it every year. Does it cost them a small fortune to produce that much beer? Of course it does, but they make their profit on volume.

Take Rogue Brewery here in Oregon, or any other local micro-brewery for comparison. Their production costs are fairly low, they do things by hand, with a small crew. Guess what? Their beer costs 3x as much as Bud, and it's not going to get any cheaper, no matter how much complaining there is from people without refined tastes.

Conversely, if you want to compare price-vs-cost between Dominions and high profile studio titles, you are only showing that you are not capable of making the distinction between what makes the one game good, and what makes the other game sell.

You have lost this argument ten times so far in this thread, but obviously you can't see or accept that fact either.....

Errr ok you've missed most of my points. Then some how decided who won or lost in a thread talking about a possible price cut..

O thank you Decider of who won the threads. The world is no doubt a better place with you making such crucial decisions .

More importantly, Rogue makes really good beer.

I like their Dead Man ale. Their Mori Moto pilsener is really good too. As well as their Imperial Stout. All are pricey.

Sorry, I used to live in Oregon, and am a big fan of the Rogue brewery.

You should get the Morimoto Soba if you can, it is -amazing-. Also a big fan of the Brutal Bitter, and their Rogue-N-Berry used to be hands down the best berry beer you could get in America, til they cut it because it wasn't as good as Belgian berry beers. o.O


I like this discussion much more than the other.

And yeah it makes me sad that Dom4 might be so far away that it may never come, but I support the decision, and I'm drooling to see what these two wild and crazy guys might come up with next.

You gotta love Belgian beers - berry or otherwise. I'm not exactly unhappy about the location my parents decided to move to shortly after I was born.

I wouldn't mind having a taste of your supposedly awesome Oregon produce either, mind you.

Considering the time spent on it without feeling "I have nothing left to do in this game", and the interest endlessly renewed by frequent expansion patches and new players to play with, I can only compare Dominions to a MMO, and fact is 55$ for first copy + nothing each month is an extremely small price, when I payed 10 times more for three years on some games.
