Huh. Not to sound cheap, but it really seems unnecessary to me to spend 60 Eur for a font, when I already have really good fonts like Inconsolata in my reach for free. Is font really that important, do you think? This is an honest question, please don't think I'm sarcastic.
- Jerry2 8y agoThat's an average price of a AAA game, right? And what kind of utility do you get from that? Just did a quick check... I bought it in Sept of 2012, 2323 days ago. $70 / (2323 day * 6 hrs/day) = $0.005/hr Did I get my money's worth (and mind you, I paid less than that.. I'm just going by today's prices)? I think I did. It all depends on how you value things.
- darkcha0s 8y agoExcept that most expensive AAA games don't have free counterparts...
- LocalH 8y agoNot all fonts have free counterparts. “Serif” and “sans serif” don’t always mean fungible.
- fro0116 8y agoNot trying to make any value judgement of my own here, but I think the parent was more referring to the marginal cost/benefit of a $60 font compared to some of the free options available.
- sincerely 8y agoIf you don't buy fonts often 60 Eur may seem expensive but that's actually pretty cheap as far as paid fonts go.
- mbrock 8y agoInconsolata doesn’t even have italics!
- sigi45 8y agoYeah why not? I configured it on all my consoles and ideas. It looks good, is dense and good readable.
