I don't feel squeezed at all. There's been a major period of global inflation, and games have been $60 forever. (*Python accent*) "Grr. They should never raise prices! I'm being oppressed!" Lol. 1st world problems. Besides, I was talking about willingly paying $120 for a CRPG 10 years ago because of all the effort that goes into them and the sheer number of hours you get out of them. The $60 price point had, IMO, literally harmed the genre. And I explicitly quoted that price point as *before* DLC. People can and should accept this price increase. -- Zag This is csipg.rpg - reality is off topic. ...G. Quinn ('08)
