That is classic. All time best post on TA. Clearly someone unclear of the concept. I take back my comment Hodapp - great way to keep the laughs coming.
Woot! More free laughs! Just a few hours ago, we were treated to this: Well, I guess that sentiment is over and done with, huh? Time to go back to being a self-righteous blowhard, it looks like. You keep on fightin' that good fight, WuWu. Don't let The Man keep you down!
I think it's easy logic. You think it's an alright price you fork out, you don't- then you wait till it gets down to a price you do think is reasonable.
Just as a heads-up, WuWu, you should understand that that is not the exact title of the thread. Look closely. And revel in the humor.
NEW TITLE FOR THREAD********** ----------------------------------------------------------- GIVE YOUR OPINION ON THE ONE GUY THAT ACTUALLY WROTE AN ANALYSIS OF IOS GAME PRICING. --oh and be sure to not support your statements but just talk shit. ---------------------------------------------------------- PLEASE CHECK THE DEBATE FROM PAGE ONE. IF YOU LOOK AT THE WHOLE PICTURE, YOU WILL SEE THAT I NEVER STARTED THIS DEBATE. I ACTUALLY AGREED WITH SOME OTHERS AND REVEALED A PERSPECTIVE THAT WAS A LITTLE MORE "IN-DEPTH" THAN THE TYPICAL RANTS OF FANBOYISM. IS MY VIEW REALLY THAT WRONG? TO ASSUME THAT COMPANIES COLLUDE AND EXPERIMENT WITH "YOUR BREAKING POINT." AND THAT IOS GAMING SHOULD STAY AT THE PREMIUM PRICE POINT IT IS ALREADY AT. I'M WRONG TO POINT OUT SQUARE ENIX'S TRIAL PRICE ADJUST IS SLOWLY BUT STEADILY INCREASING FOR LESS QUALITY THAN CHAOS RINGS. when your cell-phone bill is a direct relation to that implication. It is clearly apparent that the only reasons a few useful idiots around here are not just disagreeing with me, but seemingly have an intense apathy towards me instead of my analysis. This is why i'm constantly rebutted with "your 15" as opposed to "your analysis is flawed and let me debate the flaws with you." WHO IS THE OPPOSITION 1. They are developers, and like musicians, want more without justification 2. Just your typical bandwagon hoppers, not reading or touching up on any of the subject, but wanting to throw vegetables just for kicks. HITLER referred to them as "useful idiots" as they saw no real benefit from the Nazi party but willingly joined in the persecution of others, just to fit in. 3. Thread hoppers that really can't find anything interesting on the other threads. Check them, they're as boring as Hodapp's only comment, "u mad". This is actually a good topic. Tell people what your perspective is on this new $16 BS. I'm not trying to sound nationalistic, but seriously, are all yanks home-schooled/public school. The serious lack of critical thinking/writing is definitely building an unwanted stereotype of American gamers. I always believed gamers to be intellectuals, but a few on here are really at a loss for words, which obviously reflects a loss of brains.
Well, you have to agree that you're always feeling a need to check back. Who's duping who? And who just can't keep away?
WuWu, I don't want to stay away, bro! I love this thread. Free entertainment of this caliber is extremely hard to come by in these trying days ...
Well duh - the thread is like a train wreck - you can't help NOT check it out to see what bits of wisdom are shared!
I won nearly every argument in debate class, but at least it was easy to bring subjective theories/ideas and have the rest of the class participate and comprehend. This forum is like trying to teach Calculus to a frog. Everyone always critically analyzed every aspect of the debate in college. Here, nobody actually brings up the topic, but rather "who" is discussing the topic. It has now become a war of "WHO", not "WHAT" and unfortunately for you yanks, this seems to be the solution to everything. How many presidents do you elect that directly put it in your arse, yet you prepare for the next spin of BS because you like his face. How complacent have American students become that instead of critically thinking about the subject and offering an alternative, they are just critical with justifications that a middle-school child suffering from attention deficit disorder can relate to. Think I'm wrong? 3rd world countries get taught better than you. Why do you think your jobs are leaving? They're smarter and they'll do it for cheap. Who's really self-entitled? Keep in mind that when you do not self reflect, and your principles become guidelines not to live by, but to judge others with, you will define the very essence of hypocrisy. Of course for the few that like to throw veggies, with every empty comment and insult you reply with, you just unwittingly validate my point even further. What would happen if I stopped this thread. You will be left with the mundane and sleep-inducing responses by some really dense minds.
Five minutes ago, I downloaded the IGF's Mobile Game of the Year for 99 cents. 99 cents! Those bastards wanted almost a dollar for all the hours of enjoyment I'll be receiving! So, yeah, clearly there is collusion between all the publishers to rob us all blind. The next thing you know, the greedy bastards will have the gall to charge $1.99 or something. Or, you know, have a massive sale on all their titles. I'm just glad we have conspiracy theorists ... um, whoops, I mean "brilliant economists" ... like WuWu to warn us all away from these evils.
I'm glad you understand the true nature of my intentions. There has to be a hook/grab that enables the reader to really pour forth a typical emotional response. It is my belief that when these three are balanced, it inspires people to challenge themselves and think outside the box. Problem is, not everyone responds with reason/explanation/emotion. They respond with emotional hostility/sarcasm. If you respond back with equal hostility in retaliation, you now become the instigator, and the original instigator gets a "You didn't really start this" FREE CARD. This is truly the ideology of stupidity. But please, prove me right and say something American. KKKKKKeeping it RRRRReal ....... Yeah really dumb.
Really quick question. How much do you pay for unlimited texts? 6 years ago, it was $1.00. How much is it now? You want to know why? Because 1 cellular company decided to experiment with raising a price for a little while. Then the other 3 big guys saw the potential profit. Next thing you know, an incremental increase for text plans that didn't seem threatening at first, but kept rising steadily every year started to become normalcy. It is also wise to use comparisons that are relative to each other. $0.99 is "16x" less than $16.00 Let me give you an example of your drug-infested mind: I'll play MADLIBS with your statement to show its sinister undertones. "Those bastards wanted $2.00 USD/gallon of gas a while back for my hours of driving entertainment. The next thing you know, the greedy bastards will want $4.00 USD/gallon of gas or you know, lower the price by a few cents to create an illusion of saving. I'm just glad we have complacent idiots that defend the schlong of ignorance being shoved into their own anal cavity, and by their own will.
Maybe you don't get it. This thread is a joke, the whole thing. No one is taking it seriously cause it doesn't matter. This is where price posts come to die. You're just making people laugh at you. You're not ahead anymore, but quit anyways.
Who says I'm not joking? I thought we were. British dry humor against American ___________? whatever it's called. The difference? Intelligence.
