Heh. I was doing the same thing.

Seriously, there are no hard feelings on my end. We happen to disagree about the implications of this. That's fine. Good debate is what we're here for (at least partly).

I can see what you were getting at, now that you've clarified. And again, that's what discussion is about. I didn't come off well in my first reply either, and I'm not typically very articulate to begin with.

I'm generally very much against what most would consider "shitty business practices" like console exclusives, pre-order bonuses, pay-to-win items, basically any mobile "you're out of lives for the day, it's only $0.99 for five more!" type things. This just doesn't equate to any of that in my mind. It's just a simple, "Here are some fun/silly items you might enjoy for a buck." If you don't want them, that's fine. It's not anything significant that you'll miss out on, and it's not going to have any negative effect for you if you don't buy them.

The pricing will ultimately determine the success of this, I think. I guess we'll just have to wait and see how this pans out.
