Like literally only a penny less but how the gently caress do you advertise it as a bundle deal when it costs less to buy it separate?

They know that most people buying this stuff don't actually look at the price or have any good sense when it comes to money. Otherwise there would be no market for those overpriced collector's editions where you just get a lovely statue or something.

I guess it's fine if you can afford it, but I've known people who are barely getting by but oh man they've got to spend $150 on that completely ordinary version of the game that comes with this badass statue (that will sit on a shelf forever after).

WHere's the savings being passed along since they don't have to pay for shipping/plastic cases/booklets/and discs. It shoudl not be full priced

Woah now, I stocked up on beanie babies because the girls at gradeschool thought they were cute. I sold my inventory to some crazy lady for far more than my parents paid for them. It was a very good learning lesson for kid me.

Also certain games forum mods got a meltdown when people challenged them over the sense of paying big bucks for TF2 hats.

It's not perfect by any means but it's minor flaws do not take away from an otherwise good game. My complaint is it's easy to get distracted and just gently caress around. I've gotten stoned, forgotten what I was going and just spent hours drop kicking zombies into flaming pools of gasoline
