See, this makes sense. Op, not so much. I make my own money too (and have to say kudos for cutting me out of the demographic, as a 21 year old I make more then several people in their 30s and 40s...), and I see no sense on giving my money to a company that hasn't finished or even explained their product. There's so much underlying mystery to the game as of right now.
Am I interested? Hell yeah! Am I going to pay full price for a game that there is little information about? No.
From the wise words of Cartman "preordering is just promising to pay for a game that some a**holes in California haven't even finished... you know what you get for preordering? A **** in your mouth".
I'm not going to throw my hard earned money blindly at a screen. Give me details and we'll see.

Just do the math on minimum wage workers in that age group. If you make $0.25 more than that, then you, young man, will be making more than that number, which I would bet would be in the hundreds of thousands or millions. It's nothing to brag about either. It's nothing to even think about. Just focus on becoming a responsible adult and when free, play some destiny!

A 40 year old worker on minimum wage is not earning 100's of thousands or millions. What a completely ridiculous, childish statement.
-
Pretty sure he was referring to the number of people in that demographic
-
Ahh, probably a more realistic number then..

Edited by LucentDust: 4/14/2017 5:52:19 AMWell no, it's not something I'm bragging about or really that concerned with (school is priority...), it was merely brought to the table when the OP made the ignorant statement that their target market is 25 and up on a rated T game. I realize that beating minimum wage isn't really much of a challenge, or even accomplishment (though 11.50 an hour is much better than Illinois' 8.25 + .25, but I've still got a long ways to go). I was just calling out the opposition, who's making silly claims with lack of evidence. Even to the assuming that the parents buy everything - I've bought the grand majority of my gaming gear and games out of my own pocket, even growing up. Mow lawns and the like, 16 get a job... I am hopeful D2 turns into something phenomenal... but the game can easily get released without everyone's preorder, and I'm not handing my money over just yet. Destiny left a lot to be desired compared to the original promise, but still brought some enjoyable (and painful - screw you vanilla drop rate) times.

Haha, THAT makes more sense, but they're kind of adding to the problem for everyone else. If the people will buy it, they'll sell it.

Best answer yet 👏👏👏.
