Most things in this era of gaming are lubricious when it comes to garner dollars from consumers. This event happens to rate at the top of the Shit list. EA has pulled crappy moves with NFL licences, Prepaid DLC for Gears 3 was poor, MW3 Elite subscription sucks, and the list can go on quite long if you try just a bit.
Jim, you are a sensationalist fuck. And a fatty fat tits bad journalist.
But that doesn't really have anything to do with this legitimate issue of how corporations (in all industries) have become more and more warped towards profit mongering.
The used to be a time where companies would try and cut costs to attempt to provide the best service at the lowest price so that they could beat their competitors. Now it is about a game between international conglomerates to see who can successfully get their customers to pay the most for the least content.

It doesn't really have less features. Ghost mode replaces multiplayer and they added Relics to find. It evens out.

God I am starting to hate this industry. It seems like every second article is about some company trying to rip off consumers in ever more disgusting ways.
Every article I read is a scathing criticism of the industry lately. I'm starting to buy less games than ever before and I never bother to waste my time with DLC anymore. If shit is continuously flung in the consumer's direction like this, there's a very real possibility that regulate my purchases entirely to local used game stores. This article really doesn't affect me on any personal level, but it's just another piece of shitty corn in the steaming, heaping pile of poo that is the modern gaming industry.
Of course it should go without saying that I'd like to help out the little guy whenever I have the chance.
How much has it been updated along the way?
Cave Story was free on the PC, $12 on WiiWare, $10 on DSware, Cave Story+ is $10 on Steam, and Cave Story 3D is $40 on 3DS.

"Ubisoft's GAME INDUSTRY bullsh*t is truly incredible"
There, fixed that.
Theres a reason that I keep saying Ubisoft hates the industry and its customers. Looks like we've stumbled on another thing to prove it.
Also, that said, I know theres a lot of love for the Rayman Origins on the site (and thats fine, I like some Ubisoft games inspite of despising the company) but this article doesn't even call attention to the fact that the console/other versions of the game are half the price of the Vita version when it comes out, and the Vita version doesn't even bother to include basic multiplayer.
Seriously, $40 for a game thats a fuller experience right now at $20. Game maybe great, but considering the steep price drop and how "under appreciated" some of you folks here say it is, Ubisoft has a big pair of plumbs thinking they could sell it for any more then $25, like this.
"The publisher has never been afraid to fill a system with ports and retreads.."
Yet bitches because theres not a new console cycle to make "new" games on...
Damn it. I know people hate Activision, or EA, but these guys are my white whale..

100% agree Jim. Been stating this very fact since this game was first announced! Ubi is F'ing crazy!
What if instead of spending $40 on a video game, everyone donated $40 to a charity to feed a starving orphan in Sterlingstan, and received a kitten for their troubles. WHAT IF.
Ubisoft's 2010 E3 press conference was by far one of the worst in videogame history...remember this thing!?

yeah, I saw this on the vita store and I was like...nope. not paying that. I got escape plan instead. fun, simple, and cheap.
I love the thought of getting I Vita, but if I got one i'd probably feel like my getting dry raped by a big thick dick while recieving a reach around. At the minute it just seems like the bullshit would out way the fun i would have with the thing.
It's a known fact that large touch screens make a game roughly 20x better than an iOS version.
Also FACT: Vita has two touch screens.
FACT: ???
PROFIT!

I work at an electronics store, so I am usually excited to open a shipping box to find new titles. This was not one of those times. Saw the game and thought "oh, a Baulder's Gate / DnD game, should be fun...." Looked at the back and screenshots look cluttered and very low quality resolution, but could still be a fun change of pace from time to time. Then I checked the price.... ... ... ... ..yeah, no. Just not going to happen.
Why should they bother making someting new for a platform that nobody cares about? As far as the price goes, that is *not* Ubisoft's doing. Blame Sony for that! not Ubi.
I just think it should have at least been priced at the same price as PS3, and then allow for cross-platform play. Or, even better, a cool dual-platform bundle ;). If that means they could only release it via PSN, so-be-it...
This will not end well.
I demand price injustices get pointed out each and every time they happen, until Vita is $149. Then we can shut-up about paying $40 for games.

Has does the iPhone version stack up against the vita version? There might be a reason it's a dollar. if its out of your price range, don't buy it. It's called boycotting people and it drives down prices.
Sony just doesn't get it, they want to compete with apple app store but won't compete on price????.... makes you wonder who is running the show
Not to mention it runs like shit, Ubisoft fucked up. I love my hack n slash loot RPGs, so much that I would've probably bought this outright, despite knowing I was getting swindled(played them on my iPhone, still love them, except for the third one.) But instead they launched a demo which showed that for no reason the FPS will sporadically jump from 30 to 20, at least once a minute.
Fucking fail, I'd rather have Gameloft not develop at all than to come out with this trash. To think I'm always supporting them when gamers talk trash on their mobile rip-offs.
