  • I bought a pre-purchase once, and it was for Bloodstained.

    Not only was I excited to play a new Metroidvania from the guy who made the best Metroidvania, but the price in my local currency was 1:1 to the dollar. I knew that this price was wrong and that it might go up after release. And I was right, the price increased.

    Totally worth it and the game was amazing at launch.










  • TV is cheaper now, if you compare it to when the technology for plasma TV, ultra HD and so on first started, production got a lot better and cheaper. What I’m asking is: is the TV part of the “smart TV” cheap and they’re making us pay more for it by adding the smart part, or is the logic that they’re giving a discount because they can make the extra money with the data.

    Because it could start with paying the extra cost with the data, but now it’s the norm and they can charge more for it and still make more money selling data.
