Would you pay $10 extra for no DRM?

TigerOmega · 01-29-10, 08:07 PM

I know I would.

Antiacus · 01-29-10, 08:08 PM

I'd pay an extra $25

I paid that much for Flight Sim X

I'd hate doing it, since implementing DRM requires extra effort, and therefore should increase costs. However, if it means avoiding DRM... you betcha. Call it what you want: extortion, subsidizing pirates, whatever: but I'd pay it.

Nickolas · 01-29-10, 08:18 PM

i would, but to be honest i chose not to buy (or at least wait) this game before i heven knew what DRM was being used. The DRM only confirmed my choice.

longam · 01-29-10, 08:19 PM

I really don't want to pay for something I didn't want to begin with.

Thomen · 01-29-10, 08:22 PM

No.

Exactly this

Letum · 01-29-10, 08:28 PM

It's worth that much or more to me, but I wouldn't pay for it on principle and to avoid setting a precedent.

For the price SH3 & 4 were sold in Spain, I wouldn't mind an additional 10 bucks if they served a fair purpose.

mookiemookie · 01-29-10, 08:49 PM

Hell no. I'm not paying a ransom.

frau kaleun · 01-29-10, 09:55 PM

Nope.

FIREWALL · 01-29-10, 10:09 PM

While I only paid at a GameStop store $29.99 for FSX with Acceleration.

Yes I would pay the extra 10 bucks.

I feel a good Sim should go for $80.00 anyways.

I've seen XBOX and PS3 games going for CLOSE to that.

If you can't afford the Hardware and Software for this hobby, Go play with dolls and pretend you have a Hitech Sim.

Hold on there, were talking about the core game not all the ad-ons.

I was at an auction the other day, helping some exchange students to buy themselves some used bikes, which are more convenient than public transportation. And we discussed the price, and how much they maximum should bid for the bikes. The situation or maybe quality of the bikes reminds me of this DRM issue. Some things are just not worth paying extra for. It's as simple as that. Playing SH5 would hurt as much as riding an old bike without a saddle...

So no I would not pay extra. Especially not for chains and locks....

PaulH513 · 01-29-10, 10:37 PM
