[QUOTE="Deleted member 7015506, post: 7808550"] Is it considered elitist when somebody can spend hundreds of buckos for a sinhle game? Perhaps. But I bet not everybody pulls those greens out of the machine without cutting on other things. Me hating premium products? Not a single moment. If you have the cash or urge to get it, well then do it. Give the body what makes him happy. Is it overprized? Depending on everyones personal subjective view, the answer differs a lot as we already see in this discussion. Does a premium limited product hinder its sales/spreading? Yes definitely. People might be interested, but the price might drive them off. So basically a problem for the publisher in making more money on a probable fine product. Personally for some it might be a problem, since they want to have it, but don´t buy it for whatever personal reasons there are. Should the industry make games cheaper? One thing a couple of people mentioned in different ways, but had a consensus: Gaming as we do, no matter what type (board, RPG, CCG, etc.) is luxury per se. The luxury comes from things like having the funds, time and general circumstances to be able to do so. Does a premium/limited game have more gaming value? Again a personal decision, similar to the type/genre of game you play/prefer. What I miss in this discussion is a bit the problem, that nowadays people want high glossy shiny products/games, that don´t cost a dime. And wuality of a game is not measured only by eye candy, but in its substance = personal value a gamer draws out of it. We are used to buy stuff cheap, in all walks of life, expect excellent customer service and don´t pay the real value for the goods. And the point of real value is not only measured in the costs for something, but also the personal value somebody draws out of purchasing that product. Think about soft factors like inner satisfaction for finally getting something special and having something the neighbours kids don´t have. All human and normal things. So I stick with Frederick the Great. "Live and let live". [/QUOTE]
