Forum Overview :: Diablo :: I dunno, you seem pretty stupid, too.

[quote name="pinback"]"It should cost the same because they don't have to buy cardboard boxes" assumes that Diablo 1 and Diablo 4 are otherwise similar. Development costs and customer base are all wildly different, as is the product itself. I don't know how the numbers work out, and more importantly, I don't care, but if you're assuming 4 costs $70 because companies became more greedy and less altruistic in the 30-ish years since the original one, well, I'd look <i>askance</i> at that assumption. They'll just do whatever they can get away with. A Big Mac is exactly the same now as it was in 1997, so it costs more, and you can talk about inflation and whatever. Diablo 1 and 4 have nothing to do with each other except the name. [/quote]
