  • on a console ever consol3-game works and u dont have too look after your pc stats... and furthermore..in my view are shooters on a consolerequire way more skill^^

  • $15 way to low maybe $30-35 for the top tier games and lower for others but I agree games are wayyy to expensive, thats why ppl mod their consoles and pirate. Steam is the best way to go buy games now, unless you really have a purpose to play a game don't buy until its $5, $10 on steal for sale, or ur just rich like that, so you have the money to spend or working :p

  • One thing that can't be overlooked with steam sales: its not just the reduced price, the "limited time offer" effect is also a big factor in causing impulse buys.

  • Hey colby do you stil using the chat room on Legue Of Legends ? Is the name room "Colbyworld" ?

  • Plenta kill is amazing! Nidalee is like a boss watch me javelin what me toss!

  • Cool tip, thanks Darkabyss!

  • Helpful hint: You can hold control then left click and you will do the retreat ping

  • Dude, It's wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy easier to aim on computer.

  • South Koreans love the Starcraft series yeah... but not Blizzard... how many play WoW again... oh right none because that's the Chinese ....

  • The tournament is only on consoles probably because the BF3 people want the game to compete with the CoD series more on those platforms... Theres no way thats going to happen tbh (not saying either game is better, but CoD is MUCH more popular).

  • You make so much sense Colbycheeze. I have a personal philosophy that I don't pay more than $20 for game, the only exception being LoL. I didn't pay anything for it the first year I played it, though.

    Why does SOFTWARE like video games have to be so expensive? I can understand charging that much for console games but it's ridiculous to expect a PC gamer to give up $60 for a game.

  • I just wanted to trow that out there, something to think about

  • 2:01 - FIVE BILLION DOLLARS!

  • Hey colby your math is off on the sales. you have to account for the reduction in profit per sale. If you make 100k at $60 a game, then at $15 your taking approximately 75% decrease in profit per sale. So at 100k at $60 per game, that's approx 16700 units sold. Multiply that times 14.7 for the 1470% increase in sales gives you 24500 units sold. 24500 times $15 equals $367,500.

    That's the actual increase in profit according to your hypothetical numbers. Granted i didn't read the article.

  • I believe the article said that the sales increase reflected % increase on revenue not units, so my math is correct.

  • @colbycheeze so dropping the price by 75% would make 56 times increase in actual units sold. From 1666 to 93333. It seems a lot, but what kind of products were sold during that Steam experiment? I won't buy just any game just because it's 15 bucks. I want to play good games. I think I'm not alone in that. I don't think this article is entirely useful, but price drops are always welcome.

  • @xwraith56x BTW 16700 units multiplied by $60 gives you 1 million, not 100k. And it;s all about the price elasticity of the product. The idea is if you lower the price of games, people buy more of them, and even though you make LESS money on each game, you sell more units. So in the end, revenue has increased. (Depending on the level price elasticity, and percentage change in price vs. units sold).

    

  • @morasi You're right, I added an extra zero by accident in my previous comment. Regardless, I do agree that the total revenue would increase, but for simplicity's sake, I was assuming that the 1470% increase in sales accounted for the price elasticity. i was assuming that the percentage referred to the increase in units sold. Colby's calculations assumed that the percentage referred to the total increase in revenue. (sorry if i'm being unclear; it's difficult in only 500 characters.)

  • @xwraith56x To be completely honest, games that have no replay value should not be priced at $60. Not even $40... Maybe $15-20... Games that we can basically beat and that's the end of it are not worth our money. And I'm not talking only about MOBAs or MMOs... KOTOR I & II or Diablo, for example, you can play over and over and they are different every time. THOSE are the games they should charge more.. Not crappy, badly made, 4h games..

  • @morasi I couldn't agree more. There have been so many games that I wanted to buy when they first came out but just couldn't justify spending the $60. So I wait for a price drop but by the time the price goes down, I've just forgotten about it or there is something better out.

  • @xwraith56x Exactly man. A lot of gaming companies have great games, but poor business strategies, which makes me sad.

    Cheers.

  • Colby a personal preference: What Teemo Skin du u prefer, and why? (:

  • i actually got a copy of pirated rage where the crack fixed some of the problems

  • Awesome podcast!

  • his new picture is all like 'I'LL EAT YOUR BABIES!'

  • Totally agree with the pirate before you buy thing. I'm sick of buying games that seem to be good but in reality, sucks. For example, I recently bout From Dust for the PC. Before it came out, I read up about it and was really hoping to enjoy the game. But when it came out, it had tons of issues and was a terrible port overall.

  • @colbycheeze I doubt you know this colby but $60 is nothing. In australia we have to pay on average $100 dollars for a brand new release game eg Black Ops etc. and also added to that fact the AU (Australian Dollar) is currently worth more than the American dollar. So not only are we paying more naturally we pay that tiny bit extra aswell. Just thought You Should know you guys dont have it that bad.

  • Comment removed

  • "5 billion dollars prize pool"-milions not billlions 2:00

  • I wouldn't say that Dota2 will only net 10% of the market, you never know what valve will do for advertisement, they do have the whole steam userbase to advertise to.

  • :D I love that fed brand song -3

  • saying that they do not deserve money for rage is bit too strong, but they rly fucked it up this time... when i was thinking about, blizzard always stalls their games, they do not care if it will not come out on xmas, they rather finish it, well they have money to do it the right way :)

  • @lordicemaniac They don't deserve 60 for the PC version. Period. I'd pay 5 for it maybe, considering all of the trouble I had to go through to get it working.

  • WTF happen whit renek at 9:25 ? he like dash twice w/o any enemy neaarby

  • Intro song?

  • whats the racing game?

  • i dont like your voice, else good movies

  • Hey Colby,

    some Random Flash things happen to me too, like sometimes i want to tell my team something, but i write in chat, in the start of the game like 0.30 or sth, and i forget hit Enter and start writing and i see, flash used, and i am like omfg....

    or if i fail setting ignite/exhaust to someone and i just go flash near him... thats so bad :D love ur videos

  • IS IT DIGNATUS? SOMEONE GET MA SPELLING

  • Companies are ALWAYS leaving pc gamers behind unless the game(s) are made specifically for pc.

  • @JustinSeizure When you gain more from doing a job? why choose the lesser payed? Company burns on money.

  • @doomleika Ofc. That's why I hate on consoles nowadays. It was fine before when many games that interested me were either for console or for pc. Now they just focus on consoles and make a crappy port to the pc. All we get that they don't get is a lot of horrible mmorpgs.

  • Hey Colby. I love these Gaming podcasts! the thing i like the most is news, statistics and articles just like the price on games you talked about!

    Please keep the good work up. <3 u!

  • ht tp:// sign up.le agu eofl egen ds.co m/?re f=4daf 544 a318 7e3 517 145 54 plz register on link and play till lvl 5...thx :)

  • wtf? did you really have that much trouble with Rage? I don't have any trouble with it, tbh...

  • Best intro ever.

  • Well.. I keep leveling wrong spells if i get a level in teamfight. I dont use ctrl + QWER i just panic and click the wrong spell.

  • That song is a parody of the 3HO3 song "Richman". FYI

  • Wow, telling people to pirate a game...my respect for you just dropped a ton.

  • totally loved RAGE lol.

  • Comment removed

  • True skill for pc my ass

  • fcuk korea. this is bullshit

  • No offence but colby's face sacred the shit out of me. lol.

  • Wow colby, my respect just rose 200% because you're not like every other LP:er, who always recommend games and are against pirating, you said the way it really is, that rage isnt worth buying. i DID pirate it, i played 1 hour, it kept lagging, had texture bugs, and didnt work, and that proves why pirating in some cases is better than buying the game. Thanks colby (:

  • @Elmeri233 Exactly what I am talking about. If you had paid 60 bucks and got the game and were unable to enjoy it you would be pissed. Better to pirate and make sure it works, and then pay for it if you enjoy it. That's what I do. This time I just straight up bought it expecting ID and Bethesda to have a quality game. I was wrong.

  • @colbycheeze They won't give a demo? I'll get myself a demo.  That's my philosophy

  • This was the first DLC for portal 2

  • That texture pop. Disappointing form from iD given their PC pedigree.

  • Question. Why at 8:20 when you was right clicking on the floor why were your little arrow things red and green when it was closer to you?

  • Wow, "like" nr 400, just like my ELO!

  • Also this complaint is nitpicky, but it's not I.D. software. It's id, as in id, ego, and super-ego as the parts of Freud's psyche.

  • About the music video: they didn't put THAT much work into it. They just jacked the beat and lyrics tempo from a 3OH!3 song.

  • If i could draw i draw porno 2 so what

  • New pic :O

  • Im lvl 29 on league of legends at the moment, and from the UK so i play the european servers. I can relate to what you are saying about panicing and messing thing's up. I used to do this alot with Lux, as she was a totally different char to what im used to playing (Nasus). I think as long as you practice and ignore the obviously remarks some people will give you, you learn to be more confident and make less mistakes.

    Padami.

  • Ironicly this is also the reason for F2P games like LoL rise cause the business model it's more profitable. You can put a recolor skin and come out with more money maked than a small quality game.

  • I am sorry colby but I don't agree with retail games. Publisher move to console simplely because because console player PAY for the game. Good PC title like CoD4:MW(I don't use CoD:MW2 as example since people bitch about 'consolelize issue' but CoD4:MW doesn't)has over 80% sale come from console which IMO is ridiculous. For a quality PC native game series there's no reason console would beat PC in sale other than piracy. People just don't being honest.

  • CLG is still my favourite

  • Hi Colby! I enjoy watching your videos, aswell as your stream. Anyways, i've heard you got the Diablo III Beta :> Could you do some commentary walkthrough of that game? I am pretty sure a lot of other people would enjoy that aswell :)

    Good luck - HoGji EUEAST

  • LOL! "they're leaving out PC gamers becouse they make a console competition with Battlefield" Thats just lame! isnt there enough competition on PC?.... wtf.. So you're whining couse EA makes a console competition?.... omg man.. I really like your podcasts, but thats just stupid...

  • GUESS WHO WON IN CHINA? CHINESEE! lol..

  • TWO PATCHES CAME OUT FOR RAGE! THAT SHOULD SOLVE YOUR PROBLEMS Xd

  • FINALLY I CAN WATCH YOU PLAY AGAIN

    its better to post your vids.dont post those matches

  • Girl Amumu gives me boners.

  • if you make 100k by selling 60 buck games, you'd sell 1666 games. When 15 bucks, sales increase would be 1400% you say. That makes for 350k revenue at 15 bucks. Not 1.4 million. Still, worth it IMO.

  • wait,you pressed D because it rhyms with V ? XD

    Thats weird,really.

  • You cant sell AAA games for 15 dollars. It costs about 8 million dollars for AAA game...

  • Comment removed

  • I use Ctrl for yellow ping ;p

  • Girl champs? Me gusta

  • Since you mentioned indie titles, have you ever played World of Goo? I got it on the Wii, and I absolutely loved it. It's on the pc, too. I suggest checking it out. There's even a demo for you to check out if you're not sure that you want to buy it XD

  • I use ctrl and alt....Those are the default arnt they why do u use v?

  • @KrazyHowler V is also default.

  • hahahaa colby :D u suck at racing games dont you?

  • I was surprised by your thoughts on Rage, I've heard really good things about it, particularly when it comes to graphics.

  • rage isnt broken on all computers

  • First what is the name of the intro song? It's so good :) Second, regarding Rage, I must say that I dont agree with you about Rage's Graphics. I run it on high end PC (couse I find myself to be a PC gamer (and i do not own nor have interest in owning or playing games on consoles) and game looks incredible. There are still some texture popouts here and there, but overall its one of the most beautifull games I've played in a while. On a side note, I totaly agree it's not worth the money...:S

  • ur opening music always makes me jizz my pants.

  • sometimes i press F and flash randomly when i should prss G to ping

  • lol. i make good decisions... but i do make bad ones... but trolls... gg...

  • everytime i see your podcast i turn it up to 1080p, press full screen and bring my confortable chair, sit down and then i start enjoying the video. *_*

  • So um what were you looking for when you found those pictures Colby?

  • @Bleachuberdude There was a post on the general discussion lol forums. I'm sure he found it from there.

  • Game prices should definitely be lowered - game companies are basing this off the fact that they offer you some bullsh*t ranking system with free content. They also think that piracy will drop with higher game prices.

    Exactly the opposite.

  • omfg super smash bros brawl beginning <3

  • I love seeing all of Kum Mundo's artwork on the forums and being popularized with the game. Deep down inside I'm thinking, "They're much too innocent for the truth, it must be this way, they must not know. It shall be sealed away forever."

  • @reptile797 I know he does Hentai or something. Kind of obvious by the style lol.

  • @colbycheeze do u think eve is underpowered ? i wanted to play stealth champion but they all seem unreliable..

  • @colbycheeze its called Echii

  • @colbycheeze hahaaa, that means u have been watching Hentai (who doesnt?) haha :D

  • The price of games are even worse in Australia. In retail a new PC game costs about $100 AU and a new console game about $120 AU. That's why I just buy imports cause it so much cheaper.

  • If the game is bad in some way, encourage people to not play it. dont encourage piracy.

  • this commentary is so ignorant! all you are doing is linking heaps of shit and hating on it.

  • @SamieOld

    ???

    What is he hating besides the fact that he can't play a game he bought?

  • i think dig is awsome

    they are my new fav team

  • Comment removed

  • if games cost 15$ i would buy soo many games instead well cough cough

  • Wow Cloby. You have lost all my respect. Telling people to pirate a game is never ok to do. You are seriously an ass hat

  • Comment removed

  • @Heto75 Yeah. I noticed right after I posted. Deleted it but apparently it still shows up.

  • When I clicked commentary #26, it told me I was already subscribed! :(.

  • Kim Mundo (The dood who made the genderswap champs) draws porn. Didja know that?

  • @ExiStrife Had a pretty good idea.

  • @colbycheeze lol i remember saying that to you... and you replied...like 2 months ago

  • I have a gtx 570. bought it for $30 on PC and it(RAGE) works perfectly......

  • @BroodingGamer

    Adding ellipses doesn't change the fact the graphics are bugged on some graphics cards.

  • @FaytSaratome yea but my point is its also not bugged for alot of graphics cards, just because they didnt test EVERY graphics card doesnt mean they didnt test most of them. but as always, someone who has a problem claims it must be EVERYONE having a problem. I stated a simple fact, including the relevant specifics.

  • Dat female Gp

  • You posted a link to a picture of the shoes but no link to the website/store to get them.

  • Wait, did you win the buggy race in rage?

  • Hey colby is there a full version of the song at the end? Its freaking awesome =D

  • @flame0z nvm its in the description, thx for posting it there colby - me so dumb xOO

  • Dont u stop that Rage lp :(

  • hey colby why dont you ever talk about HoN? I have never actually played HoN and im not like a fanboy or anything so i hope people dont rage at me but I have heard people say that there is a lot more competitive stuff in HoN then in LoL... Is that not true anymore? idk

  • @grantaking Not at all interested in HoN. It is a dying game on it's last leg. Nobody will even know what HoN is in a few years. It will be like 90% playing LoL and then some people will play Dota2.

  • @colbycheeze on HoN the community is even worse the LoL they also but ranked games for level ones

  • @colbycheeze You bastard, now I have to find the original comment!

  • @colbycheeze lol colby i have to disagree HoN is a decent game, a lot of people prefer HoN then dota 2 because HoN is faster in dota 2 they kept the same game speed then dota 1 , that is pretty slow..

  • They aren't going to ban D3 straight out I think. Maybe just the auction house part of it. They will get the game later because Blizzard would have to remove it entirely from the Korean servers and that'll be just about it. It's not like the auction house is necessary for you to play the game alone and with other people, right?

  • Anyone think he looks like Shaco in that picture at the beginning?

  • dude everything you said during this podcast was really great, the only game i actually will buy for 60$ is a Bethesda game on the PC because they always come with mod tools and provide a lot of replay ability.

  • 5 billion wow thats alot :P

  • colby, did your voice get deeper? you sound more like a surfer dude now... thumbs up if u agreee lulz

  • I love you. Have my babies.

  • high five bro

  • The graphics are ATI Videocards' fault, not the producers. Colby look around before you shout.

  • @raphaelmigliori Its not the graphics cards fault. The Nvidia cards have the same problems. You can't release a game that doesn't work on EITHER set of cards and then blame it on hardware. That's just irresponsible. It's as if they did not even test the game once before releasing it on PC. Such disregard for quality is embarrassing for AAA companies in my opinion.

  • @colbycheeze Damn I thought it was just ATI from what I heard on Steam Forums. I was thinking of snagging it from torrents but now... meh.

    Anyway, there is a fix for it if you want, just search on google.

  • WHAT!!!! You don't like Blitzcrank female?!?!? Cmon! I know Dunkey would... OOOOO MAMA!!!

  • 1 word. CONSOLOLOLOL

  • Colby, ur lucky games in america are 60$ in australia there 100-120 :/

  • @JeremyAustralian Seriously? 120 american dollars?

  • @loooljoe well the australian dollar is pretty close to the american dollar, and at times it was even worth more.. So yeah seriously.

  • 15th !! yes im the best

  • Good stuff man, p.s. you saved me from RAGE

  • It seems extreme to dismiss an entire gaming studio for one bad PC port. Especially one with a history such as ID software who helped made gaming tech and fps shooters what they are today.

  • colby its fine to diss ID software.but its pretty gay ur saying that about Bethesda they made games that changed the whole experience of gaming im not a fan boy but think of games like Fallout,Oblivion they were fantastic. and when Skyrim comes i cant wait for u to eat ur words

  • @wadden543 I guess. Oblivion was fun for a bit but I never beat it because I lost interest. Fallout I forced myself to finish, and I couldn't even play Vegas for more than an hour or so before getting bored. I'll try Skyrim but I already get the feeling I won't enjoy it that much.

  • @colbycheeze I got the feeling that skyrim will be boring and slow and boring...oh also slaying 1000K hp dragons..yea hit hit hit..BORING

  • @colbycheeze same i like oblivion when i got it but i got bored after the first 3 hours and fallout was fun but i beat it in 2-3 days and now its gay

  • @colbycheeze Must be your opinion because those are widely enjoyed games especially to myself.

  • @colbycheeze You never "beat" Oblivion? Huh. Neither did I, and I played for 40 hours... Not the best choice of words there.

  • @wadden543 I love that you say it's fine to "diss" id. You obviously don't realize that id Software is more or less single-handedly responsible for all modern FPS's. Period. You want to talk about overwhelmingly dynamic change to gaming as a whole? Look at id Software's history. Get up off your knees there Bethesda Fanboy and think before you talk.

  • so what about league of legends

  • Told you on your stream that Bastion is amazing! :D

  • DAT MATH WAS SO GOOD COLBY 

  • WAIT, EZREAL IS A MALE?

  • The Brand remix uses the song "Richman" by 3OH!3

  • 5 BILLION?!

  • @CooZyNess YEA DID YOU SAY BIL OR MIL? WTFFFFF

  • Don't tell me you didn't recognize 30h!3 Colby.

  • Do more commentary with Dyrus!

  • YESS 10TH!

  • lol @ dislikes

  • LOLOLOL

    Justin Biebers dick the size of the dislike bar

  • @iFoRMaTioN1 how do you know how big his dick is have u been looking at him in the shower

  • @zenekd Obviously ur a Justin Bieber fan.
