You beat me to the post. I guess what I am saying is that each person should weigh the cost to the entertainment value of having the game. A night at the movies can cost you $25 per person with soda and popcorn. A cup of Starbucks finest is easily $5. A night of OOTP is still 11 cents.

11 cents a day isn't much, the price of a movie is more, the price of going to a real ball game is more, blah blah blah, the reasons to purchase full price are endless.
I know full well what it's like to pinch every penny, every single penny. It isn't fun, and the difference between buying something for $34.99 and $39.99 can be the make or break for a lot of people.
Don't just assume that $5 is nothing. It's a lot to many people.
If the guy can't afford it at full price or just can't pay full price, why is it he needs to be ridiculed about it on the forums?

I wasn't trying to ridicule anyone on the forum. I was just posting the numbers. I personally feel anyone can find a way to afford the game if they really wanted it. I mean collect cans for a week or two, work overtime for a day, or mow lawns over a weekend.
