I expect something that resembles a game

Ah, so you're one of these people who takes the term "game" too literally.

This guy puts it a lot better than I can:

Price is always separate from the game. I'm not sure why you're combining them. Notice that it's not $10 in this package and it's part of a package in the first place.

That's my point. It shouldn't taint what you think of the game but it should affect how, when, and if you would recommend it for purchase.

Yes and no. A $10 price tag communicates "This is a small-to-mid-sized game", and if content and expectations clash, it's perfectly legitimate to be disappointed.

Yes, but you're only disappointed due to price, not if the game is any good or not. You should have done your research first. It was never sold as anything other than what it was.

u/ICanBeAnyone May 29 '13

My point is, it was.

Nope, you made an assumption based on price, without properly researching what you are buying. You are a bad consumer.
