I'm almost positive this isn't a real deal. Someone just said it (likely as an exaggeration) and people have just been quoting it over and over.

I just bought Titanfall 2 recently on PC. Origin has it on sale for $40, but (at least when I bought it) you could also use a discount code TITAN20 to bring it down to like $32 or $33.

Game is worth $35 for sure (paid $50 and don't regret it). Its the first twitch shooter I've really enjoyed since Tribes 3.

If I'm not mistaken, you can buy 30 pure silver coins of 1 oz each at a total of ~$530 or so. It's what, like a third of a single Idris-P.

also, where can I get Titanfall 2 for 15 bucks as mentioned earlier in the thread? I got burned on the first one, but my friend literally wrote the story for Titanfall 2 and includes me in some of the audio files...
I should probably buy it.

Do you feel it, Zach?
My coffee warned me about it.


So what's the difference between JAVELIN - LTI - UEE WARBOND VERSION and AEGIS JAVELIN - LTI - ANNIVERSARY 2016 apart for the latter being $350 more expensive? Does it get any extra stuff or is it just some one-in-a-lifetime-2016-badge™ relevant until one-in-a-lifetime-2017-badge™ arrives? Also it still gets me that they really openly ask $3500 for digital ships on their website for a game that doesn't exist and people buy those up like hotcakes.

The more expensive one is the one you HAVE to buy if you want to use any store credit in the purchase lol.

If you're paying with "new" cash money you get a discount, because of reasons totally unrelated to CIG being desperately in need of money.

Without actually bothering to look at their website, I'm guessing the difference is that the Warbond version is a fresh cash-only discount. Meaning you can't melt your current ships for store credit or use gift cards in order to get the Warbond-version discount.

I think we need to take a step back and look at where this money would have gone if it hadn't gone into internet spaceship dreams.

Our first instinct is to think this money would have gone to another more competent game developer.

But it would not have. A lot of this money would have gone to junk food. An insane number would have gone into payments of people's housing or cars or other debt.
I wouldn't doubt there is even a couple of cases of neglected child support payments in the mix. (Not many but some)
It would have gone into anime or Star Trek or Star Wars merchandise or plastic Japanese robot toys.

Sure some portion would have gone to competent game developers. but I am pretty sure that amount is in the low couple of millions.

Yeah I hate to think about it but you're probably right.

At least in the absence of teaching people about IRAs or whatever we can laugh at the ongoing trainwreck :buddy:

I thought Derek has always been a mod of this dumb subforum? Like that's why it was called Derek Smart's House of dicks and farts or whatever?

If it was on the main games board at the time then lol.

"Complex conspiracy" - Pretending to be someone else online, for free stuff and/or attention.


That is such a complex conspiracy, take off the tinfoil hat! It probably isn't so easy and widespread that they don't call it catfishing, and it isn't talked about anywhere, and doesn't have all kinds of trash TV about it.
