What I see is a lot of crybabying over a product that costs less than dinner for 2 at Denny's, no matter which operating system you buy it for. Even paying the higher $25 price, that works about to about 50 cents per hour of entertainment, assuming zero replay value. McDonald's employees in BRAZIL make more money than that. Seriously. Maybe, MAYBE 2 turn-based rpgs come out PER YEAR that are even remotely playable on the PC, and 50% of them have Jeff Vogel's name attached to them. To cry at him because he wants to charge a fair price for that is pretty bogus.

I've bought *almost* every Spiderweb game since Avernum 1 and quite honestly, I was waiting for the iPad version to come out before buying Avadon. I had (naively) figured it would be the same price as the PC version. I have zero problem paying full price and actually, would prefer to pay full price so that I can at least feel like I'm doing my part to have one old school RPG come out every year from Spiderweb. What would be cool is if buyers of the PC version got a free iPad version so we could pick between the two as I'm up in the air over features vs. portability. Not sure how Jeff would feel about that but at least maybe that would quell some of the whiners? As a long time customer I can say that anybody who whines because they paid $25 for a 30+ hour old school rpg when those are pretty damn hard to find *sucks* and makes me ashamed of some of my fellow rpgers.
