Ever read the bibical story about the men in the field?
Nope, don't know that story. Enlighten me! [&o]
In reference to the above parable. The ending of the story has the man who worked all day complain to the boss about the man who worked only half the day getting the same amount of money. The boss basically says, "He worked hard. When you came in, we agreed upon your wages. When he came in, he and I agreed upon his wages. Why to you begrudge me the ability to do what I want with my money in paying my workers."
Ravinhood... it works both ways. That means you shouldn't constantly tell people to wait till the bargain bin if they wish to pay full price [:'(]
You know the part of the bible about "He who is without sin cast the first stone..." [;)]
Now... where is my game on the Albigensian Crusade... either AGEOD or WCS want to make that yet?
SoM
Yup and where is that person without sin who can cast the first stone at me?
I made good point about the men who waited till 3pm to start working, they got the same pay as those that started at 6am (same principle behind buying a released version and waiting on bargain bin both get the same quality game in fact the one who waited actually gets a better fixed finished and complte game. Thus, the early bird may get the worm, but, the later bird gets the best ones.
Or in my case cheaper priced "fixed" completed games.
As far as "shouldn't tell people to wait on bargain bin prices....why not?" I think we live in a democracy here where it is everyones right of freedom of expression and speech. (oh not on all forums of course, but, that is up to whether the moderators have been instructed to act like the gestapo or not) Therefore if I want to "tell" people to wait on bargain bin prices I certainly don't see your reasoning as to not to. Would you dictate what others say now? Would you dictate what others buy and when? I merely give them a suggestions it's hardly "demanding" they wait on bargain bin prices as many here "demand" I buy or own a game to give reviews of them (of course I pay them no mind as you can see from my many informed reviews ;0) ). How silly of them. Do I need to own a Lamborgini to give a review of it? Hardly lol. DO I need to go to every game of my favorite team to give a review of how they are playing? Hardly. We give reviews not only based on hands on, but, our observations of others reviews as well. Other forum members who give their own insights after playing a game. Not just here mind you..you think this is the only site that gives opinions of games made by Matrixgames? lol You think I'm the only one to have ever called HTTR or COTA a kiddie clickfest? lol Hardly.
It is rare that I now purchase a game that I need to wait for a patch for (granted not always I still break my rules occassionally when a game is fresh and new and not some sequel or repeat of something old I already have). When I get
most games now it is ready to be played. All patching completed a FINAL production as is the way it should be when released. I've just learned to beat the system at it's own game. If others don't wish to follow and rather think they need to be some supporters to the cause, sobeit. I am the one that reaps the MOST benefits in the long term no matter how you look at it.
If one company goes bellyup there is another an another an another an another to take its place. Think of it like the Mike in the Morning commerical lately with the Mikes, put all the developers in the world in the pot and we will never see the end of wargame creation it would be just another Mike & Mike & Mike & Mike & Mike & Mike & Mike....(alright already you've made your point pass the color marker please geesh lol ..I love Mike & Mike in the Morning)
So, yes, there's bargain bin prices, yah just have to know where to look for them and/or wait for them. If you make a deal with Matrixgams to sell AACW then there's also a high probability it will come up for Christmas Holiday pricing and that means if it's Christmas Special here it's Christmas Special at NWS. hehe
