Great game with pro-consumer pricing.

Sounds like some sort of scheme to cultivate a loyal fan base that wants to happily support and buy your stuff.

Every other developer, independent or not, should pay close attention to this strategy.

But what about the next quarterly results for our greedy megacorporation? Bet you didn't think about those, huh?
