Elwin: *sigh* Here we go again... First there are cries "Give us PG1-2 already" , then "$10 is too expensive", then if PG1 arrives with $6 pricetag it'll be "Cool, now I'll wait for a promo and then take it".
Those two statements are not interchangeable. If it's a game you don't want to play immediately, or already own on disc, or only have a passing interest in, there's not much reason to buy it immediately even if you think the price is fair. If it's just going to go in the pile to be played at some arbitrary date in the future, why shouldn't I wait for a sale? This is not the same thing as stating that the game is overpriced.
I almost never buy $50 new releases, either. That's the going rate, but I don't pay it. I wait a few months and pay $10-20 instead. I don't think that makes me a greedy bastard who hates the developers.
Elwin: Everything can be cheaper. But "old games are the best" and "I'm not going to pay decently for old games" does not rhyme. We are basically forcing publishers to offer newer titles, as higher pricetag on those are more easily justified.
That doesn't make sense. If the publisher thinks they can make a higher profit at the $5.99 price point, then they will release the game at $5.99. If it's released at $9.99, it's because the publisher thinks there is more money to be made at that price, not because it is The Price and only games that fit The Price may be released.
Pricing complaints are not as common here as you imply. I read most of the new release threads, and I only recall a few that saw significant numbers of complaints about the price. The first Heroes of Might and Magic and the Oddworld games come to mind.
Even GOG didn't want to sell HoMM for ten dollars - the release was delayed due to pricing negotiations with Ubisoft, until a compromise was reached whereby the game was sold at $5.99 for the first week of release before being raised to $9.99.
Most of the games on GOG are priced very reasonably, including Ubisoft's own Might and Magic collection - one of the best deals on the entire site. I'm sure most members will agree with that. Two people might value the same game differently, obviously, but I don't think a lot of people here whine about the prices just because they want something for nothing. If they were, they likely wouldn't be on this site in the first place.
Just because the game is $10 doesn't mean it's overpriced, but just because the game has a price doesn't mean the price is fair. Is $10 a reasonable price for PG2? Maybe. Sales figures will tell.
