gameragodzilla: Yeah so in those instances, I'll just get the waste paper and not bother reading them/throw them out.
That's exactly what everyone did. But this is not normal. I would not like to see this also here.
gameragodzilla: If you don't want the remaster here, just hide it and play the original. I'm Chinese, I know life under Communism. The problems with Communism stem from far worse things than this.
I WANT the remaster here. I never said I didn’t want to see the remaster here. I am very glad that it appeared, and I like NDS. BUT! I also want the original here.
Loger13: Bioshock was not previously available here. Thus, we were able to buy the remaster and get the originals. The game has become available for purchase here.
Now the situation is the opposite: we had the opportunity to buy the original, and now we have taken this opportunity. The game has become unavailable for purchase here.
gameragodzilla: So? What difference does it make? In either case, now I can only purchase the original if I get the bundle.
I already wrote: the difference is that in one case we got the opportunity to buy the game, and in the second we lost the opportunity to buy the game.
gameragodzilla: I really don't see the problem here.
I really see the problem here. // See, I can play this game too.
If you do not see a problem here, it does not mean that there is no problem here.
gameragodzilla: I've been to China. I've known people who lived under Mao. Believe me, I know. And in those instances, there are way more important things to worry about than video games that cost $5 more. Stuff like not starving to death, for example. That's why I don't get this. Anyone who is truly incapable of affording something $5 extra is too poor to be thinking about playing video games over survival, and the only worthwhile thing to talk about at all with this whole situation is price.
I'll tell you a terrible secret. But do not tell anyone! Even in poor countries (not those that are very, very poor, but nevertheless poor) people are looking for fun and spend money on it. Just less money than in richer countries.
It is not necessary to compare everything with THE MOST poor countries in the world.
gameragodzilla: Getting something you don't care about bundled with something you do just means when you're thinking of the value proposition, you only regard the stuff you want rather than regarding everything and decide if it's worth the price.
Well, yes, if I need to pay extra money for what I do not need, then this can be called a "value proposition / question of price."
In fact, you just do not understand. It is like with DRM. There are a lot of people who also think that "so what?" and "I don't care about that." They do not care. And there are those who care.
So here: I think it is important to have a separate original item in the catalog in the form of the original game as it was before. For those who care. This is a choice. Who needs the remaster - will buy the remaster (and at the same time get the original). Who needs the original - buy the original.
finkleroy: Comparing this to communism is absurd hyperbole. You don't have to buy any commie propaganda to get this game. Sheesh.
gameragodzilla: Yeah but anyone who hates Communism is alright in my book. Communism sucks.
I double it. Communism sucks. Indeed.
