General Discussion - Why you pay so much money? - Forum

Probably because they realize that Diablo 3 is going to not live up to expectations, especially involving PvP, and Path of Exile has very passionate developers who actually listen to their community and realize the importance of meaningful PvP and character choices.

Well if the game is really good, and since it free I like to view it as I'm buying a copy of the game to play and paying a little more in order to get it faster. Plus money goes to help in production and improving the game. Youtube Channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/AlphaRenpsy?feature=mhee	Posted by Renpsy on Apr 25, 2012, 8:17:04 PM Quote this Post

People don't buy what you do (the Kiwis etc.), they buy why you do it. To me it has been like waking up from a video game industry nightmare, with suddenly some random guys from New Zealand popping up and ignoring the faulty state of the industry, doing everything like it is 2000 again (while applying fresh ideas), where player choice, clever trading and knowledge about the game trumped the mindless repitition of tasks. Also, GGG is excellent at communicating from the inside out, as explained in the video. If you talk about what you believe, you attract those who believe what you believe. Well, I've thought about posting something in this thread, and considered, and ya know, I'd better do it. This is awesome. Somebody really gets it, and knows how to articulate it. It won't be enough, but +5 Internets. I usually only see up to 3, so yeah, 5. Skipping over 4 Like A Boss. :) Thank you for that post, man.

...And I imagine we'd get quite a lot of both for the investment made.... Warhammer 40k Inquisitor: where shotgunning is not only not nerfed, it is deeply encouraged. Dogma > Souls, but they're masterworks all. You can't go wrong. I was right about PoE2 needing to be a separate, new game. It was really obvious.

1- to show off your riches? 2- to support a game developer that makes a game that you and people want? 3- 1k dollars for some people is not that much of a hassle to make? 4- be happy someone pays/funds the game and you get to offload it for free? you are not forced to treat the 1k donators as gods and or kings, as they should expect the same respect and treat any other player would get. im not tryign to sound conflicting or snobish here, im just poiting out the obvious possibilities, and hell if i had spare 1k cash and was a die hard core fan of the genre i would support as well, and also the chance to make an item for the game, that people all over the world will use and value? 1k seems cheap to me!
