The only thing that I dislike about this hobby is the exclusivity aspect of it. I'm all for any moves that make games attainable to those that have a passion for this hobby and not just those that pockets are lined with discretionary cash. I think the remakes are good and will help to keep prices in check, so we can all get a shot at owning these games at some point. Pinball for the masses!

16 year old badgeillionare here. I might just go play with my wii or maybe my wee wee....

I hate guys that call me dude.... Anyway good rant. Of course its all subjective...dude.

Just to be clear.
Its not that I can't afford them, I can if I truly want to. There is not a game out there that I can't purchase but, I personally set limits. I was mostly speaking for others that perhaps can't.

Thanks dude!

Welcome to the mudfest! We have a lot of personal and emotional issues here.

from the beginning.

I still think more pins at prices that are attainable by more people are good for the hobby. I still haven't read a valid argument as to why this is actually a bad thing other than protecting personal investments. Keeping it available to only a small group sets it up for an easier extinction. Go ahead and tell me that I need to find a new hobby to stop whining...etc..etc, and that I must be too broke to buy pins since this is my stance but, I will tell you that none of that is true. I just want to have the option to buy the pins I want at prices that are IMO (subjective of course) reasonable. As much as I enjoy this hobby, 10k pins are just more too much (not that I can't buy a 10k pin I just won't). As the takeaway someone is going to now tell me that I should just buy fixer uppers and pro versions then......of course I can...that's not really the point of my discussion. If manufactures can add supply and make $$$ thus keep prices close to NIB cost, then that's a win for the hobby IMO.
