General Discussion - Selling Large Bags of Tart Green Apples! - Forum

" jpnole wrote: Very good analogy by the OP. It holds up as long as there are enough paying players around that like tart green apples. I'm OK with tart, I just hope there are enough people like us to sustain the orchard. GGG is a small studio, of course PoE won't make them billionaires, but people will know it as a true ARPG which haven't sold out and gone casual. It will always be an escape island for hardcore gamers. IGN: Iworkeout Last edited by cutt on Feb 3, 2013, 2:06:53 PM	Posted by cutt on Feb 3, 2013, 2:01:24 PM Quote this Post
Fantastic read! Maybe this is just from studying children's lit too long, but I'm totally seeing a line of kids' books about how to handle various life issues in colorful fruit market analogies... Also, I only wish I'd learned about this delicious orchard sooner! ^.^ Always loved apples, but never thought I would take such delight from tart greens before now. Yum! <3 Me, playing KOTOR. Roommate walks in, watches "Who are those guys?" "Mandalorians." "Huh... Like the oranges?" blink "...um... Yes! Exactly like the oranges. Tasty, tasty Mandalorians, until they shoot you with acid in the eye!" ^_^	Posted by MandalorianOrange on Feb 3, 2013, 2:08:00 PM Quote this Post

You: Maybe If I give you my moms credit card you can sweeten them up a little? Chris: I'm sorry but we don't change the composition of the apples for money This was my favorite part.

It's been a year, but I feel this thread needs to be necrobumped, as the point of it is still very relevant. Bullshit, you get the game for free. -Qarl	Posted by DaveSW on Jan 30, 2014, 12:18:23 PM Quote this Post
