The price is more than enough to put me off. $20 for an XBLA game is outrageous.

They'll make their money on the Linux version simply because a lot of Linux users will buy it to prove a point even if they never play it.

$20 complaining?

The average 360 game is ~$60. The average PC game costs way more than $20. Yet here is a bunch of people complaining over $20. What the fuck is wrong with you?

People will pay $10+ for a 2 hour movie, but they won't pay $20 for a game that lasts more than twice as long?

I realize it stands out in comparison to other XBL titles (and people may be worried about this being the camel's nose for widespread inflation there) but assuming it offers commensurate value, what's the big problem? When did $20 become such a breaking point for people?

Being a big PA fan, I would pick it up.. But $20? The subsequent episodes had better be cheap..

I know the developers need to get paid too and the game looks pretty cool.
