Video games didn't exist a century ago.
He actually just said games, not video games. And it's true - buying the latest version of chess or poker felt really special. The mail-order-content was kind of a bummer, though.

I find it amusing that people will spend twenty dollars for one meal at a restaurant which they'll finish in the course of a about ten minutes, yet people are unwilling to spend five dollars on a civilization that they'll get considerably more time and enjoyment out of.
I find it amusing that people will spend twenty dollars for one meal at a restaurant which they'll finish in the course of a about ten minutes, yet people are unwilling to spend five dollars on a civilization that they'll get considerably more time and enjoyment out of. People's enjoyment per dollar ratios seem to be off by a bit, no?
Regardless, Civ V launched with as many civs as IV. No one should be complaining about additional Civs not being free.
And if the issue is cost, well, if five dollars is too much for you to spend, what are you doing posting on a Civ forum instead of working? How did you even have money to buy Civ V in the first place?
Personally, If I whopped out $40-$50 on a game like Civ5 (which I didn't btw and is already offending in the first place.) I'd make sure this company wouldn't receive another 1% of my hard earned cash.
My 5 bits.
First: Eating is necessary to survive not playing civ V . Hence why people are willing to spend more to something which is necessary than something optional. Let's add to it is also accepted to spend more for a good meal than a single civ in a game. And lastly i'm not sure about you but while it might last less long a good meal gives much more pleasure than any game .
And second: It is not that i don't have the money but that the Utility/price ratio is simply waaaaaay too low. A single civ is not worth 5 dollars . Just think about it : 10 civs at that price = price of a brand new game . Dunno about you but i prefer to spend 50 bucks on a new game than 10 civs .
Civ 1 had 14 civs and civ 2 had 21 civs.In Civ 1 only 8 civs existed, and the amount of Civs in each vanilla have been increasing.
Glad i never bothered with this piece of crap that is allowed to call itself a Civ, the amount doesn't matter really...charging for 1 more playable Civ in an unfinished game that is a disgrace for the whole series so far = disgusting.
Fvkk you fireaxis or whoever came up with this, i ain't gonna buy from them anymore and stay with Civ4. And if Civ5 ever becomes playable, iam gonna download it somewhere for nothing to test it before i buy it, lol who do they think they can arse around.
I would give them a slap in the face, thats what I would do

Well if we go with that ludicrous restaurant analogy, imagine if you used to eat at a restaurant and you very much like it, at one point they change their menu but promise an even better culinary delight, you trust them because heck you have been eating there for eons now.
The restaurant asks you to pay upfront and you trust it, but when he bring you the plate, its nothing like you expected, there is only 1/10 of the quantity and it tastes horrible, so you ask for some salt to hide the stench and here comes the waitress telling you that oh that costs another 5$.
What do you do ?
Smile and keep eating ?
Or punch her in the face and then burn the restaurant with an improved molotov ? (j/k lol)
Hi Mr I want everything for free!
It's like eating at a restaurant, then complaining that the soda/beer to the food cost 4,99$, you don't HAVE to buy it but it sure makes the food taste better.
I do find it a bit ridicolous that we are suppose to PAY for Babylon, and yet we'll get Mongolia for free...
But my point is I don't have THAT much money anyway, I mean, I'd love to get Babylon, I think that in the future they might change their minds..
Its scary how soo many people inhere just accept that they are getting screwed, and have to pay hidden charges for stupid extra stuff that should have been included in the game.
It's scary how many people will make impulse buys and then blame other people for "forcing" them to preorder/buy the game before reviews. It's scary how many people will lap up $30 expansions that add features that could have been modded in (and by your logic should have been in the vanilla) and then complain about $5 DLC (also a friendly reminder that Steam DLC goes on sale.)
it's scary how many people aren't content with how angry they are about Civ V and keep trying to make themselves even angrier.
