I spend a higher price for a quality title anytime, if it is quality indeed and meets my interest and expectation. That is better than to buy two normal titles or two budget titles, and leave them behind after some weeks. But I would also wait for the inevitable first two patches or so, and general feedback. Judging from COTA, the new title will deliver.
See it as a buck-per-playing-hour ratio (bph ratio
). Ironically, those games I bought that were the most expensive, have the lowest (= best) score in this formula, while most others with smaller prices score high (= worse) here - which makes them quite expensive in my book.
This is my argument for SBP, and it is my argument for
Aegean and
Bulge as well.
