Is buying games for sale prices when you can afford MSRP morally wrong?
>>318384252
What's MSRP?
>>318384456
Listed retail price. Full price, basically.
>>318384252
lmao these people are almost as bad as the anti-steam refund fags
>>318384456

>>318384523
Yeah, I've figured that out thanks to the context. I was wondering what does the abbreviation stand for?
>>318384657
Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price
it's just another way of saying RRP
How can someone willingly deny his own privileges a customer?
>>318384372
good point, senpai. I'll just pirate from now on.
>>318384372
This is just so pathetic.
>>318384754
You mean his rights?
>>318384754
Because holding on to our privileges that others dont have is just morally wrong.

buying single player games in general is morally wrong

>Neogaf
Of course
>>318384754
It's neofag. On a tangent, here's something else I found in another forum
>looking to buy cheap Berserk books for sale
>all ebay listings out of my reach at the the time
>google Berserk sale and find a forum where some guy is asking how much people had saved overtime collecting the series
>he gets fucking assaulted by faggots that tell him he should support the creator and that he's a cheap-skate, all the while they boast how some of them had bought the english series upwards of three times
>fuckers don't know mangaka get shit from english sales, the licensing company gets most of it
Some people are just fucking dellusional.
Oh hey NeoFAG being a bunch of fucking idiots who would have thought.
>Not pirating a game and sending $60 split evenly to each developer
>>318384252
Yeah you should buy everything for the overpriced msrp
>That's actually not the case, at least not in Europe. If a deal is too good to be true, and so much so that it should be obvious to the consumer, the consumer can be prosecuted for purchasing a product.

>>318384252
i dont fucking care call of duty made 500 millions thats like fucking 500 000 000 to you for a fucking game movies get the same amount of cash in AAA biz and they got the cash without me. If the buyshaming doesnt stop i wont ever buy a game again because fuck you nerds, fuck you
Theyre not exactly wrong.
Waiting to buy that one game you want on steam for 5 dollars certainly isn't helping the developers.
>>318385715
Devs don't get money every time a game is bought. The distributors buy in bulk and the devs get nothing after that.
>>318385715
Yes it is. For developers, this is not a dilemma between "one full price sale vs one discount sale". Rather, it's "one discount sale vs no sale at all".
Believe me, sales are not a charity. Ever. They exist because they're profitable.
>if the games weren't 50+ bucks I might have bought them on release for, say $20
>the publishers+devs force their unrealistic price tags on me
>have to wait for when it goes on sale for $5-10
>it's somehow my fault
Did Neogaf get triggered pver the Undertale dev's views on GamerGate yet?
They have been worshipping that game, so I'm very excited for the coming shitstorm.
NeoFag being bunch of faggots? Wow, I've never seen this one before.
Yeah good goy, pay full price or you shoud feel bad!
>>318385852
No off topic posting please
When did you stop buying $60 games new? Mine was Silent Hill Homecoming. It was also before I browsed /v/ and did constant research on games. I knew literally nothing about it beforehand, I just had a friend who said it will probably be awesome.
That being said, I do still occasionally do it, but only for big motherfucker games with a history of competent developers and no signs of bullshit.
>>318385852
What did he say? I know the dumb faggots were triggered by McGee for not agreeing to their bat shit insane doctrine.
>>318386067
That GamerGate and SJWs were the same exact thing.
>>318386046
I buy full price when it's a Japanese game that I know is good.
Like how I'm about to buy Xenoblade X and EDF 4.1 for full price.
>>318384252
im beginning to think these people have no idea what they are talking about. do people think sales exist because businesses lose money? really?
>>318386046
Portal 2. Pre-ordered it for full price.
It wasn't bad, but it was really fucking short for that price.
>>318386046
Mexican here
I only bought Mario Maker at full price cause i was hyped for it
Otherwise i just pirate or wait until price drop
>>318385852
What views?
>>318386137
That's true. They are. And anyone who reads NeoGaf will realize that these people are racist and paranoid fucks who can't enjoy videogames because politics. This is why Play-Asia triggered them so hard.
>>318386208
Really? At $20 you mean? I didn't buy it day one, but I did buy it at $20 and felt it was worth it. Certainly not $60.
>>318386190
These people think that it's morally wrong not to censor Japanese because because they think Japanese games are racist.
Don't tell them about the hypocricy of this though.
>>318384252
link to thread? I want to see the bandwagon
>>318384252
The sales price is often controlled by the publisher, so there's no issue buying at the prices they've set.
>>318386303
I'm not sure how much it was in first world countries, but here inRussiait was too much. And that was back then when the exchange rate wasn't fucked as it is right now.
>giving the developer less than MSRP for their game is more morally wrong than giving the developer literally nothing
>>318384372
>>318384252
Why are games exempt from basic consumer practices?
These are the cancer ruining gaming and I say that with confidence. Worse than mobilefags,MMOfags,DLCfags,pirates and CoD/Fifa only dudebros.
>>318384372
I wonder if these fuckers think third-worlders should buy games at their increasingly large prices.

Dark Souls 3 £20
>>318385715
I'm a cheap fucker. If I don't buy the game on sale for $5 I'm not buying it at all.
I'm sure a developer would appreciate that $5 a lot more than the $0. I mean, if they didn't, they wouldn't be putting it on sale to begin with.
>>318386046
Red Orchestra 2
>>318386607
If you're in a third world country video games should be the least of your concerns.
>>318385650
you have to make the purchase "in good faith" that the good isn't stolen to make the purchase legal.
thing is, steam sales set a precedent that makes it absolutely viable that a full price game can be anywhere up to 75% off soon after launch
>>318385715
This is why DLC is able to keep profits on games in the long term. Plenty of games given away on PS+ and you end up buying the DLC because you already saved a bundle.
>>318386713
Well yeah, considering you'd be paying upwards to $350 dollars for a fucking 3ds.
>>318386579
NeoFag has been a source of cancer on gaming for some years now.
>>318384563
Hey man, don't make fun of him. I work retail and had to explain to some of my supervisors what MSRP AND UMRP meant and stood for.
>>318386910
Ive never heard URMP
>it is morally wrong to get something cheaper than MSRP if you can afford to not get it cheaper
This is it. This is the stupidest thing I've ever read. This beats "toxic consumer first ideology" by a country mile.
>>318387016
Unilateral Manufacturer's Retail Price. Unlike MSRP, going below the UMRP can result in heavy fines or even losing the ability to sell the product for the retailer.
>>318384252
No, I also say in some stores that I forgot my wallet and only have part of the money with me so they'll give a discount
Can someone post a link to the thread?

>comparing sales to gamestop
you what
>>318387487
Collectors editions, limited editions, like when microsoft brings out a halo bundle console, or when nintendo released the limited edition majoras mask 3ds. So a neofag 3ds user may have a mm 3ds, animal crossing 3ds, original 3ds...
is buying a car at a discount morally wrong if you can buy it at RRP?no you idiot
>>318384252
What forum is that, neogaf?
How can a human being be so stupid and combine morality and idiocy in one sentence? Holy fuck, he's basically implying that pirating games and buying them x% off is one and the same.
Are you perchance saying I've been honouring my ancestors the whole time without even realizing!? Am I a real savage seafaring tribesman from the balkans now?
I hope you're proud of me, dad.

neogaf reads like a fucking assbackwards congregation of self congratulatory idiots.
they all talk about representing minorities and women "correctly" and most of them are middle class white men.
Its not morally wrong to buy a game that the publisher is agreeing to sell for less than full price
>>318384252
Buying something that has a flexible worth at the price you deem it worth paying for is never wrong.
Games are not worth what the publisher is demanding, they are worth what you yourself decide they are worth.
>>318387016
it's a pricing restriction that prevents online retailers from competing at price points that they otherwise could, because it's too much lower than brick and mortar stores
so online shoppers get to pay more than they would otherwise so that the retailers they don't use can stay in business
tldr another form of corporate welfare

Whilst we're on the subject of cheap vidya, is it worth buying a PS4 now or wait for sales after Christmas? Amazon UK has the console GTA 5 and Uncharted for £279
>>318384252
It's not morally wrong.
This is the type of ''argument'' I see waiters and pizza deliverymen make.
>wow, ur such a shit person, you can't give me the tip??!?!
I wonder why they say something like this. Are they concerned about my lack of morals OR do they just want more money from me? I don't know man, seems like they really care about me and not my money. They want me to be a good person.
Ok, then. I will take that money I saved from buying from a sale or not giving you a tip, and I will give that money to charity. I'll give to people who really need that money.
Does this solve the issue or is it that these people just want more money?
Am I a shitty person with no morals or are you just a greedy jew?

Sounds like fucking everyone these days. People bitch about not being pandered to by companies hard enough.

Gamers are so beta that they can't even fight for their costumers rights, they just accept anything the industry says and throws at them.
why do /v/ talks about neofag every single day?
