In the 90's/00's we were paying £15 for a CD!, £20 for a DVD!... Even today £40 for a game is ridiculously overpriced yet we still pay it. £20 is a fair price imo and until we see fair value i feel no way about downloading...
It's called making a profit, it's what this countries economy is based on. You should go rob Asda for your weekly groceries because I hear they're charging over the odds for bananas, and you know what else I heard this week, that Tesco were actually selling food to the public, for more than they purchased the food for orginially. Good heavens !!
Haha I love this kind of self-righteous illegal downloading tripe. If you're going to do it (and i'm no angel with music) at least have the decency to admit its theft - even if it is socially acceptable.
'£20 is a fair price IMO'...well nice to know you've got a sound pricing model there. Personally I think something like Skyrim is amazing value to most forms of entertainment (music, dvds) you would spend money on. The amount of production coding, developing, writing, art design, , musical scoring etc etc that goes into something like this is mind-blowing. You're talking tens of thousands of man hours. If you want to have a go at pricing, have a go at Inifinity Ward charging £15 for 4 maps - not this!
I've worked in the games industry on the development side of things (on some pretty huge titles) for over 10 years so please don't tell me how much effort goes into making a game like Skyrim, I know only too well. I also know how much these games make, Believe me it's a staggering amount. Are they value for money? Well if you are prepared to pay that and you're happy with it then yes.
But take it from someone who knows, You could be charged half as much and they would still make their creaters an absolute fortune... Believe me when i tell you that you ARE overcharged VASTLY because games, DVD's CD's etc are classed as "luxurey items" and the VAT on these things are immense, something like 35% of the price.
The "piracey harms quality" shit is exactly that... Shit... Shit people like myself made up because we would preffer our product to make a few more million on the hundreds of millions it already rakes in (not that i see any of that wedge mind you)
Yes it's stealing, Obviously so, I thought that was a given?... But i cannot repremand people for being pissed off with decades of paying over the odds and then having a chuckle at being able to thumb their noses when they get it for free. And for the record, i will only download a game or film or whatever if i have bought the original a couple of times down the years and it's been lost.

Anyone know if the supermarkets on Wilmslow Road between town and Withington have computer games sections? May have to dash there tomorrow morning. I really want to play this.

Apparently there's an artwork book, model of a dragon (probably plastic) and other things that I don't know about. Anyway, it's costing me £130, but I just couldn't help myself! I love The Elder Scrolls series. I'm not sure but I think it had to be ordered though.mammyjam said:mancitypj said:I'm a big Elder Scrolls fan.
