No you didn't. A few people posting in a forum is completely meaningless and has no bearing on reality, so you didn't prove or disprove anything. Looks like you need to take an "introduction to statistics" course since you don't understand how any of this works.

Maybe it does in their reality ?... ;-)

Logic.

Hello again.

Yep. This one has moved up about 200 places since I posted that, though.

When I look out of the window, I see no curvature. I have just disproven the "thesis" that the earth is a globe based on the information I got.
the problem is that what is seen as a fair price is personal and subjective. I think the asking price here is a fair price, you do not. so now what?

Can't we just disregard the posts of gamefood? Responding to them does nothing but derail the thread further and further and they obviously can't be reasoned with.

That is where I at least, think you are wrong.

A fair price should be based on facts ... old game, what's it worth, how much work was done to it, expenditure etc. You can add projected sales in too, but only to a point.

You can look at an old game, and say it is worth X amount based on other similar old games. It's also had its time, and now it is getting a bonus extra moment in the limelight. How much time and money has been spent on researching the game, playing it over and over, checking things, and maybe doing some creation, tweaking things a bit perhaps, but mostly doing paint-by-numbers stuff like replacing textures etc.

What is subjective and personal, is what each of us are prepared to pay. And that of course differs, mostly due to affluence and what each might think something is worth. What is false, but some get fooled by it, is seeming rarity, and the silly notion we should pay more for that, especially in a digital context ... rarity is arbitrary, a decision made by someone, and nothing to do with impossible to duplicate or get further copies of.

you do realise that this is only your personal opinion of what the "worth" of a project should be? does it apply to everything? or only games?

and based on your list here - what is the "worth" of Chasm: The Rift? And how did you calculate it?

After installing patched version all artifacts gone.

Chasm: The Rift! Digitally available for the first time since 1997!! And on GOG!?!

Finally!!!

:D

Seriously thou, I still can't quite believe it. After waiting all these years, and then suddenly literally out of nowhere... here it is! hehe.
I know, I know... I've probably shown my interest in this game a "few" times already, but it's just that Chasm: The Rift was, is, and (most likely) will always be very special to me, so aye... I can't help myself. xD

Anyway, once again (and for the last, I promise lol) I'm seriously thankful to finally be able to own a digital copy of this occult classic. Even more so after learning that this is a remaster (of sorts at least) and that the original is included! As well as the add-on!! And the level editor is acessible too!!! (So I've read, at least)

Again, to everyone involved, I'm eternally grateful!

Дякую!

Like I said, based on facts, and of course it is only going to be a rough estimate, but we should be in the ball park.

We of course, haven't been told specifically what was done to the revamped version of the game, so we are left to our own devices and the use of logic etc, all of which I listed.

Once again, it isn't an exact science without all the facts, but we would be dealing with the facts as we can estimate them, and can be fairly objective with the result.

I have already mentioned I like the game, have completed the original version, and that I would have been prepared to pay up to $14 AUD. That's my subjective price, which would be less if I had never played the game and did not like it as much as I do. Using logic to estimate the fair price, I think it is worth a few dollars less than my subjective price, and certainly nowhere near $26 AUD.

Ask yourself, what have THEY done to the game to make it better, and that warrants paying $26 AUD. From all I have read, it is still essentially the same game, just a bit nicer looking etc. What would we be paying the extra for, and how much work was that?

Shadowing, higher resolutions, native port for modern computers, much better framerate. The original one is abysmal framerate wise, (One of those games running uncomfortable under DOSBOX) And also they add the original version but fine tunned, running under DOSBOX.

Of course they have touched the game. But if you ask me, the price every person is willing to pay for a game is subjective and personal. Indeed, And obviously legit.

Yes, indeeed. those metrics are objective facts, but the extent that you think they should count towards any "worth" of a game is subjective.

so what I get out of this - if they just re-sold the game without any tweaks, then it should be free.

Before buying the game, I advise you to read this article - The remake of the Ukrainian shooter Chasm: The Rift turned out to be not a Ukrainian game at all and information about the game Developers - Action Forms (Ukrainian Company that made original Chasm The Rift - 1997) on Wikipedia - https://uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/Action_Forms (Ukrainian version - if need - translate it, because English version is too clean of interesting details) to understand why you should not buy the remaster that is available in Gog store (or other digital stores), but rather play its completely free legal version, which can be found on the Internet. I won't publish any links, because mad Gog moderators and some of their puppets - "looser users" will run in and delete everything they see like they did a lot of times.

I remember playing the game. That was so long time ago, but even today I remember most of the weapons and monsters in the game. Unfortunately, Remaster (or maybe ?Remake?) is not made by the same Ukrainian Team (Action Forms) that was behind the original game development and it will not receive any money if users will buy Remaster. For that reason, I do not recommend buying Chasm The Rift Remaster in any digital store. My point and my opinion are clear enough to understand, I hope.
