without needing to put that much effort in?
you do realize that hampa is a one man team and that this game was a side project right? as im sure everyone knows by now i'd pay double if i found a way to pay but i cant so ill just have to relax till i convince someone who will let me use their credit card
Re: what's all this then? -- about the payment issues...
Really, this game is not worth paying for. Taking 24$ for this game is just waaay too much, and you will lose a lot of players. If you'd lower the price to about 5-6$, I'd buy it, but anything over that is just too expencive.
This game also has the quality of a free game. Look at steam for example, there you have a lot of good games (red orchestra, sin: episodes, hl2: ep1 etc.) for only 19.99$ per game.

Exactly my point.
Re: what's all this then? -- about the payment issues...
that was probly the most hypocritical thing iv ever heard anybody say...
you said that its a good game, but you dont want to pay 24$, however all those games from steam are also good, but 19.99 EACH, basically you're saying you'd rather pay a total of about 80$ for a bunch of games, but you dont want to dish out 24 for toribash, hell its only 15 if you get it now... and if you cant afford it right now, then just save your money, you are faster to horde money because you fell mad about a game, than a homeless person is to spend it on beer...
i myself cant afford it right now, because being 15 i dont have a job yet, but when i get one you can sure as hell bet that im gonna spend the 25 for it

Bad Gameplay and Bad Graphics = Bad game.

For some of you, Toribash will come under that last rule (3rd for me - but i am techy and program 3D apps). I became bored of HL2 in about half a month. I am still interested in Toribash after a full month.
That is saying something, as I become bored of games very quickly, and move on very quickly.
For me, Toribash is worth the money (and more), for some, it is not. It all depends on how much value you place on the dollar, pound, euro, etc. The reason Half Life 2 can cost so little is because they have a set amount of money to pay (developers, servers, etc). From this, they can guess how much each person has to pay. If they thought half the people were going to buy it, the game would be twice as expensive.
Hampa has worked it out, and this is how much he needs to keep the game running. If you want the price to come down, you need more people to play and pay.
