I've recently encountered a tough troll on a forum I moderate, and I remembered your posts about dealing with such. Do you have a tag for, or a collection of, those posts?

Really, kudos to this man that has obviously done some really great work during his career, but turning on your customers/fan base is always a bad idea.

I kind of only want to ever read detailed breakdowns of forum debates like this for the rest of my life. OK, that's an exaggeration, but I find this kind of thing really fascinating. You should try this with some of the long threads on "framing" and the debate over intelligent design-creationism over on scienceblogs... Awesome.

I didn't have a whole lot of time earlier ... but I stumbled back tonight and ending up spending a solid 90 minutes reading back through your archives. I really enjoyed the time I spent here. Lots of food for thought, especially regarding the use of Forums as a form of new media. I learned a lot. Rob Fulop Jason, I wrote you a longish email earlier.

The only thing I would add is that the developer is choosing to limit his salary by producing only a few copies of the game. While the rare status helps keep the price high, there is probably a sweet spot on the price/demand curve where people can access the game and the developer can make a "living wage" per whatever definition he chooses. Second the graph comment. Nice post. The only thing I would add is that the developer is choosing to limit his salary by producing only a few copies of the game.
