Love the Game vs. Hate the Greed?

[kmdietri]

If 5th Ed. came out right now, and it had everything you (personally) ever desired in an RPG would you buy it?

I ask to see how much people want to own a good game, vs. how much they hate corp. greed/money grabs.

Yeah, I would totally buy it.

4E doesn't even meet the "everything you (personally) ever desired in an RPG" caveat and I bought it.

Absolutely.

Unless I'm somehow a captive audience, such as needing gas to drive to work, I don't consider selling a product to be a "money grab". I just don't assign that much ethical negativity to the act of trying to sell me a luxury product. It's up to me decide whether the product they are selling is worth anything to me.

"The greed", eh?

I see this thread going places, several of them involving red text.

I'd happy buy a perfect game.

This. I mean, I might grumble a bit when all the good video games come out in the same month, but I don't start thinking Relic is out to get me, or anything. It just means I have to figure out what I want the most, and what can wait.

Absolutely. There's room enough in my life for 2 perfect games: Pathfinder and some unnamed complete game.

Easy question, at least the way it is stated. There are a lot of qualifiers that are missing, like a price tag.

 

[Umbran]

Assuming roughly the same price as other RPGs, sure.

I run with TB on this - it isn't excessively greedy to have a good product and offer it up for sale.

Without any hesitation whatsoever.

I think the underlying question is, if a company releases a game product which you bought and, six months later, releases a subsequent, "perfect" edition of the same product you bought half a year ago, would you still buy it?

Would you reward a company that had a good product that would make an unreleased product obsolete, but decided to release the inferior product first in order to get more money out of you, the consumer?

I still voted yes, by the way.
