[QUOTE="Dire Bare, post: 7809040, member: 18182"] Why should Monte Cook Games provide a "concession" to the hobby? Your point of view puzzles me. The main version of the game is very expensive, but also is packed with high quality components. This was never meant to appeal to all gamers, but that is not the same thing as MCG being "elitist" or condescending to the "poors". Not everything has to be made for the mass market, and that's okay. If you don't feel the value personally, that's fine. But why crap on somebody else's sandwich? How does the existence of this luxury gaming product hurt you, your gaming group, or the larger hobby? (Hint: It's doesn't) I didn't purchase the game personally as the price was a bit high for me, and I wasn't enamored of the genre/setting. But the basic idea of creating luxury products aimed at only a portion of the gaming audience I think is fine. If MCG or another company produces a luxury product that is more inline with my tastes, I might scrimp & save to pick up a copy. And roll my eyes at the "poors" whining about elitism. [/QUOTE]
