Jonathan Jew on why Braid PC is (was?) more expensive than XBLA
« on: February 18, 2009, 11:20:44 PM »
"I don't care that much about the PC release price. The XBLA version was nicely profitable, and my goal with the PC release is mainly to get the game out to a wider audience. Sure, it would be nice to earn the optimal amount of money from that release - I have interesting ideas for games that I want to make in the future, and making games is very expensive"

He's full of shit. He also said that the XBLA release was nicely profitable, so releasing it at a higher pricepoint on PC, contrary to his statement that he "wants to reach a wider audience" makes no sense. Not that I care at all, I still have no intention of buying his game.

Because he can make money selling  games to artfags instead?

If the PC version was on Steam, I'd buy it during a 75% off sale.
