llanite_slith -> The Price! That I just paid... (5/24/2013 2:29:42 AM)

Given what I've paid for this whole series, I just want to say to CodeForce and Matrix that I've effectively driven the cost of entertaining myself well below $.01/hour over the last 4 years. Thank-you.

I suspect it will take only a month to get the cost of ownership for Shadows down in that range.

Now please get back to the code and make new ways for me to support you :)

1 cent per hour? That would mean you've played it around 6900 hours...

.01 x 8 Hr/day * 365 day/yr = $29.20 . . . not too far off.

I've not played that much, but game is worth every cent for me.

At least I found another developer that makes games for the sake of having fun and release a proper Expansion and not some DLCs or in-app purchases designed to nickel and dime gamers.

I love you CodeForce and Matrix!![&o]

Kudos to Elliot, Code Force, Eric, the playtesters and et. al. envolved for making another great, enjoyable expansion.

Thanks Guys. [:D]

Well, while I'd intended to just engage in a little hyperbole, SpaceCadet got me thinking:

.01 x 8 Hr/day * 365 day/yr = $29.20 . . . not too far off.

80 dollars invested
156 days / year playing the game (3 days a week)
2 mean hours / day
4 years since I bought the first DW in 2010
X = dollars / (days x hours x years)
$0.06 per hour of entertainment


So, off by a factor of 5 given the assumptions above. In reality there were many months in there I didn't play at all, but I will say there were some very long nights in 2011 when my infant son would *only* sleep in someone's arms when I sat on the couch and played through a *lot* of DW. Training a good Galactic overlord from the beginning [:)]

Less than an order of magnitude off- not nearly the hyperbole I thought, and still darned good value compared to other entertainment.

Played through the pirate tutorials last night. Hats off to the new graphics engine - zooming was wayyyy smoother. Nice pirate ship sprites!

There are pirate tutorials? lol. I skipped Tutorials because I did not know they updated them for Shadows. I might have to go back and do those.

I've played over 8000 hours myself...

I suppose that's the only game ever worth half my monthly income. :)
