OP
Quoted from Whysnow:
WAS
SW was a while ago. 4800 was pretty standard then

Why do you always do this with stern pricing? You quote something from 5+ years ago and act like that is current or recent pricing. Then you pretend like you get your games for cheaper then everyone else but never have jack to back up anything you say. Best pricing for SW was around $5200 and people paying $5300-$5400 was very common. You literally do this all of the time. Now you are making fun of someone else saying they got screwed when your # is completely made up.

OP
Quoted from Whysnow:
nah, other get the same prices I do. They just dont mention it here for fear of no longer getting those prices.

Doesn't seem like they should be afraid. You say this stuff all the time and what was it, last year when you were claiming TWD pro was $4200?

Quoted from zaphX:
It is amusing to me everyone is so concerned about what I paid for a game in Summer of 2017.
It was literally the week of release. I just saw the game at CAX and ordered one, without playing it, as an experiment to see if I liked pins. I figured if I didn't, I could sell it and not lose too much. We can see how that experiment turned out.
I really don't care if I overpaid by $500 or whatever you guys think the price should have been on a launch-week title. Doesn't matter one bit to me.

Most distros are not going to give a great deal to someone they don't know or haven't dealt with before. You maybe could have saved $200 or so but you got the game and have enjoyed it and that's all that matters.

OP
Quoted from Whysnow:
I am pretty sure that Stern is very comfortable with the troll roll.
This is kind of that new era of marketing style where it is cool to F with your customer base. Problem is that Stern comes off kind of prickish rather than "ha ha we got you" since they dont really engage with customers outside of these things.
Also, it really seems like they think any press is good press, when reality is the opposite in todays world.
The hard reality is that Stern trolls their customer base, continues to cheapen products, has recently gone radio silent on the many QC issues they are having (including no longer replacing parts that are defective within warranty? I hope this gets fixed ASAP), and steadily charges more for less.
It seems like everytime they make strides in one spot (hey look... sweet code update for a 2 year old game) they F up on the flip side (shit marketing PR and more and more defective pfs going out).

Not really true, according to you they are charging you less, much less. How long before you claim distros are calling you to take a SWHP for $2500?
