[QUOTE="Voneth, post: 167743, member: 1016"] My cash is tight right now, so these higher priced books are taking longer for me to collect. I think some of the thinner hardbacks out there are just made hardback to justify the price tag *cough* PsiHB *cough* Freeport book *cough* , however ... I have seen both sides of the gamer income story. I've seen the guy who goes out to eat dinner and then sees LOTR for the 3rd time even though he plans to buy the video. All of these luxuries are temporary, but he goes to a game store the next day and looks at a game book that could give him years of enjoyment and then he says $30 is too much. It's a matter of priorites and percived value for him. And I have seen the gamer who has to take some of the Domino's pizza home from his delivery job just so he has some discreitonary income for games. His outlook on the $30 is that he could filled the fridge for that amount of cash. It's matter of cold reality for him. I guess the real question is where do most gamers sit on the income scale. Of course every one is going to claim they don't make enough money, but how much of it is just perception and how much is real. [/QUOTE]
