| the_dengle said: If you think something is overpriced, you don't buy it. Simple as that. This rule of thumb will serve you well in every financial decision you make in your entire life. Shovel Knight was released over a year ago and has tons of content on the way at no extra cost. They are free to implement a feature they never promised in the first place and sell it for whatever price they choose, if you don't want to pay $X for it then don't. Supply issues would be problematic but it's a bit presumptuous to complain about them this early. Past amiibo supply problems don't even apply since this is the first one being made and distributed by someone other than Nintendo. |
I don't buy that. If you think something is overpriced, it doesn't mean you don't want it. It means you don't agree with the price. That's the issue. There's an unfair price barrier for desirable content that won't go away by simply choosing, as an individual, not to buy it. I think he has every right to complain about it.
Like I say about all amiibo-locked content, there should be a cheaper version just for people who only care about the content and don't want the $12 figurine paywall. Even a $2 Amiibo card would be acceptable. But as it is now, the Amiibo paywall is a legitimate issue that doesn't go away simply by "not buying it."
