You seem to miss the point it was almost 30 years ago and they spend 18 months developing with a team of 20 people. Read those numbers again. Damn, the electrical bills alone to create Starfield most probably surpasses the entire development cost of a handful of SNES games combined. Yes, old games had manuals and came in physical form but those components where cheap at the time.

I'm not saying game SHOULD cost more. I'm just claiming games haven't become a lot more expensive.

Rule number one when buying tech is your always get ripped off. There is always a better deal two weeks from now. You just have to get a feeling when timing is good enough for what you want.

The WiiU tablet wasnt very portable. Once you left the room where your WiiU Base was plugged into a TV it started acting up. You basically had to be in the same room but not he allowed to use the TV. I'm afraid that type of technology probably hasn't moved forward fast enough to try anything else but wifi. It's a sad day.

At least you can use these as a more expensive controller as well, right? To play with your friends on the tv. Surely? Right?

Not much aaargh about playing bought games tho!

Watch YouTube reviews of the devices. I would not bother with comparing screens. I usually do this as well but in the long run you want the best overall device. The Deck doesn't have an 1080p OLED but I also wouldn't want it to have one because battery would be so much worse.

Don't look on CPU and GPU. You can't compare them because the machines aren't running the same OS. It's like comparing ram, gpu and cpu on an iphone and compare directly to an Android phone. It's irrelevant. The actual experience is what matters, it's the device you will look at, not the spec sheet.

Edit: oh and btw. If you want to put a screen protector on the Deck, get either the cheapest one and upgrade the internal ssd or get the middle one and buy a 512-1tb ssd. If you arent going to put a screen protector you can buy the deck with anti glare.

Yeah our prices in Sweden aren't close to what they need to be. Even if prices for lifetime Ultra were halved I would feel ripped off. Let's see what the other apps bring before we make a purchase.

117 dollars for lifetime Ultra is wrong. Just saying. That's 15 Big Macs to remove ads and letting me cloud storage my settings.

How can that be a good purchase in anyone's book?

Edit: Sorry didn't anwer your question. I would set lifetime of Ultra at around 35-40 usd. And ad removal at 15 usd. I would also add a donate button for the people that wants to donate, since a lot of the Lifetime Ultra purchasers claim they bought to support the dev and nothing else. Let them do that how much they want.

Other free apps are closing in. And the free version of Sync is still the best app. I love Sync. But I won't paying harmful prices.

Getting a portable screen is also dead cheap. It ain't a bad option at all.
