Braid coming to PC next month News
PC News by Ellie Gibson
Fresh from being a big hit on Xbox Live Arcade, Braid is to be released for PC at the end of next month.
It's available to pre-order now via impulsedriven.com, priced at USD 19.95. That's around GBP 14 / EUR 16 in the old money, or GBP 1.99 in the old old money from before the world's economy crumbled into dust.
Braid, in case you've forgotten, is a puzzling platformer with a unique visual style. You have to manipulate time in order to make your way through levels and rescue the princess.
We're big fans here at Eurogamer, so much so in fact that the game scored a big fat 10/10 - read Dan's review to find out why.

I don't get this. That's more than it cost on XBLA, and Blow complained that MS set the XBLA price and he wanted it to be cheaper, 800MSP (£7). So now MS aren't insisting on upping the price to take a big cut, why has the price gone up??
That's a good question. I know it was a very well-received game, but for me £14 is too much for this. Don't think I will be buying it now, unless it's on a Steam 50% off weeekend or something. Glad it finally got a release though, many people will love it I'm sure.

Why even mention the price?
No PC gamer is going to pay for this game. They believe that piracy is their god given right. World of Goo had a 90% piracy rate (9 copies downloaded for ever 1 legally purchased) - Braid will be the same if not more. |

Hi, I'm also an idiot who believes what developers say in order to draw piracy as a monstrous two-headed dragon. Let's be friends. |

Well, if you've read 2D-boy's blogposts on it, it's blatantly obvious that this isn't their intention at all. link

So you're saying that piracy isn't a bad thing...? You've confused me somewhat as it seems you just proved my point...

I will buy this when it gets a bit cheaper as well.
I bought World of Goo as well and didn't share my key. Same with other digital downloads. Yesterday I bought access to a website to be able to play "Auditorium" ( http://www.playauditorium.com ). Was worth the 9 EUR for sure! |

Possibly because Blow is full of shit? Don't get me wrong, I bought and love Braid, but his constant "Microsoft are forcing me to make money" whines are getting tiresome. Yeah, I also got a whiff of something unpleasant when I heard him complaining about how MS were forcing him to do things: it's easy to blame unpopular decisions on "the man". I dare say nothing was done without his consent and if he pushed it they would have dropped the price. @UncleLou It did - I could use the key to activate my game which I had bought directly from their website on Steam. Which was nice. :) Nice indeed. I'll have to do that (otherwise I'm sure to lose the key soon... if I haven't already). |

an idiot who believes what developers say in order to draw piracy as a monstrous two-headed dragon. So you're saying that piracy isn't a bad thing...? You've confused me somewhat as it seems you just proved my point... So, just to recap, you think that one person making a random conspiracy-theory post about what he sees as lying developers proved your point that "No PC gamer is going to pay for this game. They believe that piracy is their god given right." You're not exactly big on logic, are you? A few notes for your consideration: - He didn't say piracy wasn't a bad thing: he implied that you were an idiot for believing developers who say it's an extensive problem. Those are not the same thing at all. - Although it's fun and easy to deal in absolutes as it removes a lot of the necessity for rational thought (e.g. "No PC gamer is going to pay for this game") it's difficult to take you seriously when you do it. |
