RandyChase Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 [QUOTE=chammer39]So at $20 you can get the product to more people because they are willing to try the game.[/QUOTE] That's why they give folks the option of trying a demo. You're certainly a "cheap" or "for free" mission! You didn't answer my question about your "give it away" proposal on the other board, so I'll paraphrase it. If Gary agreed to take half-pay for his game, would you go to your boss and suggest working for half of your normal pay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chammer39 Posted September 12, 2004 Author Share Posted September 12, 2004 Not the same. You just have to consider factors such as the amount you plan to sell at each price. Depending on the number you could sell that would determine the drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TC Dale Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 That is true Randy. I wonder if he would agree to that. I bet his boss would love saving a little money on payroll a few weeks a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike D Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 [QUOTE=chammer39]Pathetic attempt you would be surprised by the number of people who have changed to the better game ESPN.[/QUOTE] And yet Madden still outsells ESPN by more than a 2:1 margin. I have both, and Madden is a better game, but not by much. That said, the 34.95 price point is perfect and I wouldn't expect anything less.

Lex Star Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 I know I am sounding repetitive but $34.95 is a reasonable price for the sims, hell I'd pay even more if I had a job and didn't rely on my parents to buy it for me. :p Sure pricing it at $20 would increase my chance of being able to get the games right away. But the programmers need to make a [B]living[/B] off selling these games. Would you work hours upon hours to program a game or do a job and then charge less money so you in turn make less? $34.95 isn't THAT much money.

Druez Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 I liked CAD better then TDCB. But I liked FBCB better then both of them. Anyway, Hammer you are annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardinals Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 This is my first post, and it's about some one else's 55th post. How ironic. I see posts where you replied like three times to yourself. There is such a thing as edit. It's just annoying when there's really nothing to read in any of them.

21C__ Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 [QUOTE=Mike D]How many of them are quality?[/QUOTE] Exactly. I always love seeing people who proclaim that they have xxx number of posts on a board when the majority of the posts offer any substance.

Danny Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Well, this discussion is pretty much exhausted and has now turned to post count debates.

BigDawg Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 Baron, I have found the internet flodded with these types of people. Those that pump up post counts to gain respect in their minds are the same people I come across that would CHEAT at online computer games. They tend to have NO LIFE and wouldnt know how to interact with a real human so they create this fantasy reality online. They can be anyone or anything but what they realy are, they can say anything to anyone with no reprocussions. How sad :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
