I would strongly disagree, but whatever. I’m very conservative with my money habits - that’s all (given there is a global recession).
50$ for me is a bit of money. I am not rich but I read the info about how if the game / comp goes under I dont get my money back…oh well if it happens it happens.
The way I see it, my 50$ is a boost to the comp / game. I always look to the positive. I am faithful the game will release. 
i mean relatively of coarse as i still have to work 2.4 hrs to get $50 but i have wasted heaps more than that on less = bloodbowl
Not necessarily, the average European salary (in 2006) is 31k Euros, assuming 8 hours a day, 5 days a week & 52 weeks per year (ie, holidays included), that gives ~15 Euros per hour = ~$19 per hour (pre tax, NI, etc). If tax & NI are ~26% (which is what it would have been in the UK for that year), that’s ~$14 per hour, which would be about 4 hours work for a $50 game. Though that’s assuming you don’t have an expensive mortgage/rent or childcare (which is hideously expensive in the UK ~1k per month for 5 days a week 8am-6pm in Surrey).
the quote below, this is exactly how i and im sure many feel, i was gona type something similar but you beat me to it 
Just wanted to say that i really like the contribution/pre-order system.
anyone know how many preorders have sold so far?
seriously,and the game is sooooo cheap, $20 for normal, I feel like its too cheap, $30 at at least even for a direct download imo.
The only thing keeping me from diving in is the classes. I’ve simply been waiting to see the classes in action and learn more about them in depth. Is it going to be the 60 something combinations like Titan Quest was, or is it going to be linear? What type of skill trees are we talking about?
Once I know this, I’ll have the card ready.
Just heard about this game from Wamplet at the old 3DR forum. I enjoyed TQ. Went ahead and slapped that money down on the table. Look forward to seeing what happens.
Thanks for your support!
No problem! Good luck to your team.
My Legendary Edition has just been purchased. Happy to support a development team that seems to still remember what gaming is all about: the fun and the fans.
Does anybody know if the game is going to be Boxed at a later date?
I’m happy to have donated 48 dollars to the development of this game. Maybe it will be a little more epic with my donation. I for one think games are cheap relative to other forms of entertainment. How much money do you spend per/hour at the movie theater?
Don’t forget to have fun (or enjoyment) while developing your game Crate!
things in general are getting expensive, but on the other hand, certain games are getting over priced, SC2, no idea how much diablo 3 will cost, probably the same, CoD Black ops at £39.99 is just too much for that game, and its buggy as anything, (not bought the game, but seeing loads of negative feedback on how buggy it is on many platforms
as for what price a game should be at? well this is a easy but also difficult question to answer, nowadays, games are getting shorter, getting easier, and more expensive
but a game like quake 2, unreal (original) that was an epic, long game
but you aren’t really seeing that anymore, I loved SC, (starcraft) but SC2 was a disappointment, but I managed to pick it up a bit cheaper on amazon UK, otherwise it was about £40 mark, too much, and even then I feel I have wasted my money by getting it
D3 I will skip for the time being, at least until I seen some solid user reviews, so games are getting more disappointing
TQ I thought was a classic, and really wished I known about the game sooner, but I’m glad to be supporting the makers of that game, if they can keep to the same mix that made TQ awesome, then I am glad I paid $58 for the game,
but anyway, I think a lot of game devs aren’t that great anymore, many good, old school ones have been shut down or closed their doors, which is a shame, I hope Crate goes from strength to strength and makes more games, as we need goood games for the PC, as many publishers seem to be turning their backs on the PC market now, or not supporting games that well
Pfft. You have a rabid group of fans eagerly awaiting the release of the game. Some will be skeptical about the need to pre-pay, but I’d rather that and be able to play the beta or what not, than to hope to hell to get a key based on some supposed random type of draw. I see no issue. If you don’t want to pay then don’t.
If it helps at all for the game to move forward then I’m glad to help. Hell, fly me over and save the money from paying an actor to do voice overs. I’ll do it for free :: grin :: I’m sure there’s any number of us doggedly checking out the forum here wondering if our input means anything… well, we know our money has to, even if it’s to keep the dev’s jacked on chocolate and pop to keep them upright when their creative juices have evaporated.
P.s
I agree with an earlier post, that this being a game for fun and fans and the consideration you’re putting forth in asking for opinions along with a recent and positive experience I had with customer service made it all tha tmore personal. I feel like it’s about making a great game here, not just about the potential for profits (which of course is important for future games). Too many games that I’ve stumbled upon seem more about gambling, than about gaming.
Exactly; well put.
I’m curious; if a publisher approached you at this point would you consider assistance ?
My understanding is over the long haul titan quest has done quite well so I would think that route would be an interest. Then again with digital distribution and word of mouth (titan quest helps a lot here) you might be a lot better off staying independent.
Hopefully Grim Dawn will be better than titan quest (my only reservation is that it will not have much in the way of puzzles and quest branches; something I personally like but perhaps most people dislike and makes development more difficult).
Greetings guys I’m new to the forum and just figured I’d stop by to state I too have purchased the legendary edition of the game.
Being a fan of the hack and slash genre it just seemed to make sense.
Hi, welcome!! Pretty exciting looking game huh?!?!?!
