Also cuts costs without spooking investors.

I wonder if we will actually ever see the true numbers, I have a feeling they will realize that SOOOOOOOOOOO many of the users are bots and be forced to pull a shwitter.

We will see what happens, but I won't hold my breath for actual transparency.

Honestly this is exactly like the united states, thats why I used a weighted average tax - the taxes can be different county by county, although usually not by more than 3%...

glad to hear they are so beloved, I think an unpolished full release is a cash grab, as first impressions are important, but we can disagree on that point.

thats good to know, it definitely looks like the worst project they are associated with, I'll note that its published by.

Interesting that they would bother making the game with that perspective on the financial side, but we can agree to disagree.

I'll maintain cautious optimism but the video game industry has definitely let me down plenty of times, and companies have ruined their reputation for a mere pittance - does not mean anyone will do it on purpose, just that making video games is difficult.

That is comforting to hear about the studio, the Expanse Dragon's tooth earned 1.4 million with 12k backers on kick starter, and that was in my opinion with little marketing, seems like enough for a cash grab to me!

I looked up Owlcat games, agree their previous projects seem to be liked, but this project looks VASTLY different from what they have made previously, I'll keep my hopes up though.

Also, see their recent release "Rue Valley"... (Apparently they were only the publisher, which is better... but they still put their name on it)

I'm hyped because I love the source material, but worried this is just going to be a cash grab from loyal fans... Seeing as the comic books exceeded their funding threshold by a large margin, I could see other industries trying to cash in as well.

Hopefully this is a well thought out quality game, has anyone done any playtesting who wants to talk about it?

I was under the impression Canada included sales tax in their pricing since usually people from the US are mocked for not having tax on their prices, the more you know!

Oh I thought Canada would have it included, interesting!

State+local sales tax at around 7.5% (weighted average) takes it to 480 USD (sales tax in the US can be 0 in a couple states, but is usually much more), canada appears to be winning this competition!

Edit 1: Apparently Canada doesn't include sales tax in their prices, so North America is just special in general, I wonder if we can get Mexico in this coalition.

Edit 2: Mexico has declined to join our coalition.

they got too greedy, why would I buy a system with games that expensive? Maybe once the library is full and there are people reselling their used copies for cheaper I'll jump in, but for now I'm holding the line at 60.
