Is it still "OK" to keep paying for something you already own?

no, that is only for numbnut lame homo scrubs

Car = important
Game = not important

How'd he get to the hospital?

This is even worse than a food analogy

Had to hail a cab at the last moment from a particularly sleazy driver of Belarussian origin who promptly overcharged him due to Buckley's desperation, which means he arrived in the hospital at a loss

But you're paying for gas not a fee to drive your car

>burn gas
WTF BRO I PAID FOR THAT ALREADY
>>
>>388157084
gas is fuel for the car. the car requires gas to function, we don't have cars that run without fuel so it's not an arbitrarily imposed fee for something that doesn't need to cost money.
>>
>>388157084
A car has multiple real-world functional purposes, though.

The only functional purpose of a subscription-based game is to keep autists away from the social population.

>Car = important

yea if your poor and don't have money making you more money while having someone bring and prepare food for you

Games are more important unless you're a pleb
>>
>>388157410
The comics is pretty bad.
But this >>388157216 is even worse.

>>388157487
Actually, plenty of countries will force you to pay a whole bunch of fees just for the priviledge of being allowed to also drive it.
That said, I think it's still completely missing the point, which really is about whenever the price is fair or not - it the item/service justifies the price or not.

The violence has escalated.

Pretty sure someone is paying for the electricity that makes the games work

is he literally stupid?

not stupid as in "lol ur stupid", but stupid as in "Sorry but i think your son is a bit slow and we will have to put him in special classes" stupid

Fuel is required to operate the car.

An arbitrary fee to get more money out of a product is not the same.
>>
>>388157084
Gas is a consumable product that powers things. It's more akin to complaining about having to pay your electric bill to keep running your PC or console, or buying food to stay alive. Like wtf man, you mean my body doesn't work if I don't pay for things to put in it?

>retroactive "food analogy"
>>
>>388157084
I'm so glad his wife had a miscarriage.
>>
>>388157084
wouldn't electricity be a better analogy?

I mean it's still a shitty point, but it's at least closer to the topic
>>
>>388157084
In what 3rd world country is gas still 3.99?
>>
>>388157084
False Analogy.
If I buy a console or PC, the electricity required to operate it is not included in the price.
>>
>>388157820
>yearly

Mine doesn't expire for another 2 years.

So I guess buckley doesn't need electricity for his iMac or whatever PoS his draws on.

How is he wrong? Many people require a car to live. No one needs a game to live.

>not registration at the DMV
What a fucking dolt.
>>
>>388158608
And how does that fucking relate to anything? This is so completely absurdly random I'm not even sure where to fucking start.
>>
>>388157084
Nope. I pay enough bills, I won't be paying a monthly videogame bill when i could buy games and own them with that money
>>
>paying to put fuel in my car is the same as paying to have the privilege of using my own internet to host the match

The correct analogy would be that I have to pay the gas station to bring my own gas and put it in my car.
>>
>>388157084
>paying $3.99 for a gallon of gas

lmao

Not to mention that cars will have little window stickers advising you of how MUCH gas they use right up front so you can make a good guesstimate as to how much money you'll be paying for gas over the course of the vehicles life. Hell, it'll include an estimated annual fuel cost already.

Most games don't do that. They just come up with random new shit that YOU GOTTA BUY SWIMSUITS CHECK THESE PRIME BREEDING GIRLS IN BIKINIS COMES WITH NEW STAGE LOLLERSKATES!!!

Gas = Electricity you use to run the console.
Buckley is retarded.

>only a retard would keep making comics after he already said he retired from it
>>
Like others have said, the fee is arbitrary in the case of a game, while with the car it's physically needed.
And in the case of countries where they fine you to drive, that's used as an incentive to not drive because it benefits their society to not have that many cars on the road. That clearly doesn't apply to the game either.

could have used insurance or road tax or fucking any actually additional fees required to drive but no he goes for fucking fuel
what a fucking retard
>>
>>388157820
To be fair, you only need a license to drive on public roads. You don't "need" a license to simply own a car.
>>
>>388157084

The electricity you are using to play the game is a much closer analogy to the gasoline than a subscription fee.
>>
>>388159265
You might be actually seriously brain damaged. Care to ACTUALLY EXPLAIN how necessity plays a role into what is a good or bad monetization strategy AT ALL?

Especially as a comment to a an "analogy" that is fundamentally dishonest and misguided, as the act of buying an actual fuel is not exactly the same as the act of paying for unlocking in-game content?

Most places do all inclusive for rent.

>>
>>388161540
No. Care to answer the question?

>>388159769

Pretty sure any car dealer will require a license, new or used

So you're right in the instance that you buy a car second hand

You did not even pose a question you fucking mongoloid.
