The first time I went to Japanese school, I paid $840 for a class.
You could probably argue that this is the same amount of money you would have spent had you bought it at the store.
If you’re a student in Japan, you have to be at least 18 to take the exams. So in other words, if you bought this game when you were 18, you probably should have paid at least $900. I think it’s likely you bought it at the store, but it’s an interesting question whether you could have gotten it for that much money.
I would agree that this is likely overpriced, but I would say it is worth the price. Most people will assume that a game that is overpriced is worth less than it actually is, but if you compare it to other games that are priced similarly (eg. Kingdom Hearts) it makes sense.
We don’t have any good answers to these questions, but we do have a good point. If you have a game that you’ve played and you’ve never experienced the same game for a long time, then you might be ok with paying that much money at the store. Your choices are probably not as simple as you think.
The reason it’s worth more is that the game is a game in the first place. If you have a game that you have played for a long time, you might not be happy that there is more content, or that you have the same game but have access to different paths, or that you have all of the same characters. These choices are different for everyone. The point is that these choices are not forced upon us, but instead our free will.
Some choices involve money, some involve the game itself, some involve the game’s creator. Some are for fun, like finding a hidden treasure. Some are to gain something. Some are to learn something. Some are to get the game to end. Some are to get the game to start over. Some are to get to the point where you can actually beat the game. Some are to win the game. Some are to beat the game. Some are to win the game.
The point is that a lot of these elements are up to us. We decide for ourselves what we want to play with, what we want to do, what we want to learn, whether we want to buy the game or not, whether we want to make friends or not, whether we want to be more or less social, whether we want to have fun or not. It’s up to us.
This happens because we want to win the game. We want to win the game because we want to win the game. But its up to us to win it.
“If you want to play it, I can show you how to play it, but you have to play it.” We don’t have to play it, we just have to play it. The rest is up to us.
