Do you guys believe his statement about the uv kit being too expensive to include in stranger things? The guy is very charismatic but some of his statements seem a little disingenuous. He basically wrote off all of the accessory criticism with "They sold out quickly, therefore the haters are wrong." I guess all that matters is that there are people dumb enough to keep throwing money at them so why change? I find it a little ridiculous though to say that Stranger things, which had seemingly very little in its BOM, couldn't have included it.

I think everyone understands that, but go look at stranger things pro. Where did all the money go? If they spent most of their budget trying to develop features that didn't work out, or say a feature like the uv kit where they ultimately decide it was so expensive that it had to be an add on, at some point you can't just say "we spent the usual amount of money on it, so you have to pay the usual amount of money for it." It's like asking customers to pay them anyways when their investments in new features don't work out. What if their next game was just a bare playfield and they said" we spent a lot of money on amazing features, but they turned out to be too expensive for our standard models, so you can buy them all as accessories"? I think you need to have a certain level of features in a game no matter what you spend trying to develop them. The uv kit was $200-$300 I think. If they had included it in stranger things pro, I still would have wondered why they cheaped out so much because it still would have seemed like a lackluster game, whatever they spent on it.
