Wow … what a bunch of whiny, entitled spoiled rotten brats. I would expect a bit more intelligence and maturity here, but then again, I suppose not based on so much in recent years. It is why I don't come here much anymore … and this was a great reminder of that.
Then again, with this crew there was *NO WAY* that Vogel could win.
Look - 99% of you are blindly anti-Apple frothing zealots, so there is nothing to see for you, so just piss off and let those with an actual interest in discussing things have an area to do so without the the mindless trolls cluttering up any thread having to do with something on an Apple product for once.
This is ridiculous. You’re having steroid rage for people being angry for a legitimate reason? I personally don’t give a shit about pc vs mac vs anything. I buy PC games only (and Wii games for my kids, and the old lady sometimes). But if a game was sold for $60 bucks on the PC and $24 on the PS3, PC gamers would have a right to be angry. Mac users would have the right to be angry if a PC game sold for $10 and their port sold for $25. And just FYI I don’t get angry when games are sold cheaper in third world countries.
I won’t ask for my money back for buying Avadon for 150% more because I’m a PC user, but I sure as hell won’t buy another spiderweb game if they come out with a $10 version for another platform, regardless of what that platform may be.
As an indie developer he should know you don’t piss on your current market while trying to expand into other markets. He might find the opportunity cost of expansion is too costly. Or, maybe he’ll make a ton of money through this platform and drop the customers who have carried him to this point. I know a good way of doing that—charge them 150% more.
I have a new rule which is to not buy games without price parity between platforms. I’ll never pirate a spiderweb game—but I sure as shit don’t have to buy them anymore.
I honestly don’t care what the market for another platform is like. All I care about is if I’m paying the same price or not. In my experience people with iPods are the whiney, entitled spoiled rotten brats. Starbuck drinking pansy-ass cupcakes.
And the steroid rage injected ramblings of egotistical attack fiends who support disparate markets for no reason other than anger about people not liking a certain platform is a better reason not to come to this site often than the one you stated. If that is acting with intelligence and maturity, count me out.
