What if GW required quarters?

@Age - The Atlanta mass transit (bus/train) uses a swipe card that is reloaded at station dispensers using debit/credit/cash.

I'd start walking around with my head looking at the ground, need quarters!

Well we're somewhere like 87% of a USD now so we're doing pretty well for quarters mate

I would be screwed, I havent seen a quarter since I was last in the US a few years ago, and I sure as hell wouldnt want to go back there to get more

Have you ever seen Real Genius, where Val Kilmer cuts a rod of liquid nitrogen to make a coin to get his coffee? Working in a chem lab, I would do something like that. But it wouldn't be with liquid nitrogen. Liquid nitrogen is...well, a liquid

And what kind of nubcake would PAY to go to presearing? What will you ask next? What if you had to pay a quarter each time you use your hammer to bang a nail in? What if you had to pay Microsoft each time you saved something on your Windows PC? We (I for one) didn't pay for a time killer but a fun game actually.

Great way to take out the negativity that's been building up lately.

definitely got my money's worth.

I would smash the arcade machine and get all my money back, then proceed to the next machine and repeat the process.

'omfg Youz Got Legendary Defender Of Ascalon You R Uber Rich!!!!!!!!!

Considering the US$ is dramatically dropping in value against the pound, I wouldn't mind! After all, there's no way they could collect the coins I'd put into the machine is there, as I wouldn't allow them into the house!

I'd smell really awful.....2years with out ever doing laundry.....YUCK!!

Hehe, that would be funny.
When you die the words 'insert coin to continue' keep flashing on the screen.
When you are rezed you get a sound effect similar to inserting coins in 80s arcade machines.

Out of Credits [RaGe]

With my 5000 or so deaths, thats over 1000 bucks 0.0

Eh I'll just d/l an emulator

What is your point here, exactly? To show that 30-day worth of gameplay = 1-day worth of gameplay? How?

Epic FAIL.

It goes to show the value of GW.

People pay $15 and then scream about how they are getting ripped off, how they own the company, how they are above the publisher, and other godly stuff.

The same amount of money wouldn't last a single day at the arcade. So you're paying 30 times less for GW, than you would for Pacman at the arcade.

Truly, many don't realize what $15 buys.

It would be funny to see MMO crowd use the same complaints against Arcade operators. "OMG THE RED ENGINE MACHINE STOLE MY QUARTER I WANT TO SEE THE MANAGER". Aye, it would be a sight to behold, as the bouncer would respond to these just claims. Not with a ban or nerf stick, but baseball bat.

....

I think some people pay WAY MORE than 15$ to play some other games, all the while being able to "scream about how they are getting ripped off, how they own the company, how they are above the publisher, and other godly stuff" and demand what they want, and EVENTUALLY GET IT. No "We can't do this" or "We can't do that, we don't have the resource blah blah" excuses either.

With that said, for a game like GW where those excuses exist, I'm not gonna pay a penny after my initial purchase. For some other games, maybe.

Can I just slide my debit card?

10 PS2 games at $59 each = about 1000 hours of play time for $600

All 3 chapters of GW + Expantion = under $200 for 4500 hours played.

Now thats big bang for my bucks.

Hmm now how many quarters did i spend on naphui quarter?
