Thoughts on soB

Are the prices for things with this game a little higher than I might like? Sure. So I can kind of understand people thinking things are a tad pricey. But, I think to accuse them of just trying to be "cash grabbers" is very short-sighted and unfair.

Do you have any idea how much money goes into producing all this stuff? I sure as heck do not. But, if you consider all we are getting, I don't think the value is too bad. In fact, with all the stretch goals if you pledged at the Outlaw level, or all that PLUS all the optional add-ons if you pledged at the Minecart level, I actually think we are getting an amazing deal in the grand scheme of things.

All of the stuff that has been revealed is more than enough for several expansions... yet those of us who pledged at a high enough level are getting them without spending an extra dime.

Not only that, but how much they profit from the game is really nobody's darn business. Of course they are going to expect to make a profit off the whole deal. Otherwise, why the heck would they bother to go through it all? But I would guess their profit margin isn't as wide as you'd think.

It is also very different to fund a brand new project rather than something they have already finished and are mass-producing. That is part of the whole point of Kickstarter. Helping the project get funded so it can be made in the first place.

Flying Frog Productions is awesome. I am sure this game will kick some major booty. Hence why I did not hesitate for a millisecond to pledge on the very first day. And I feel like I am getting more than my money's worth. :-)
