Friendly pointer: lose, not loose.
Well, there are always people who will abuse the system -- but all things considered, the amount of people granted a refund who managed to get in on the price mistake are probably a small percentage of the overall number of units sold at the price mistake pricing.

Either people got annoyed because of the animation, which would be me, or Chrome still can't handle GIFs and people got annoyed because they're using a shitty browser.

There's no such thing as too much Lethal Weapon.
It is if it makes you think nailguns are normal for cops. =p
Also, we can all agree the 4th was kinda too much, yes?

Lethal Weapon 4 is too much Lethal Weapon.
Valve needs to not allow multiple % to stack. Also, Valve should have a chart graph that shows the sale price for the duration of the sale so the CFO can look and see that tomorrow her $50 game sells for 5 cents. And devs need to realize that giving pricing duties to interns is a bad idea.

Whose side are you on? I'm on the 'give price mistakes' side so no to everything above.

No one needs to feel bad for this not even the devs.
They get money, people get to play their game and nothing changes for future demand or sales. The people who refund are a small subset of the small group of people who were aware of the price error in the first place.

Looks better than AssCreed Unity
Dude, he isn't just some dev. He is a german. Volkssolidarität!
Now that Greece is dry, we depend on the taxes from the Ori sales.

I miss it
Even though I'm using Chrome. But I want to switch, so is it possible to import my Chrome history/passwords to a new browser?
And this small group gets balanced out, by those people who buy multiple copies to give them away.
The game also still has frontpage exposure through the topsellers-list and most likely some additional word of mouth.
Price mistakes are certainly not a thing to celebrate for the publisher/developer, but they are not the total desaster some make them out to be.
I didn't like Ori anyways.
Well that decelerated quickly
Yes, there are benefits to cheaper pricing, but all of them would still exist when Ori dropped to $5 naturally.
Clearly the developer had a strategy for their discounts in place, and I have no doubt that deviating from it this much will have an overall negative impact on their lifetime revenue.

people who made negative response about this project are asshole ( my opinion )
just because it look like F zero they gave it negative and start trashing about it ?
or they just don't want other console to have a F zero game look like on non Nintendo console ?
some people start trashing about how the dev don't know about hoe gravity work
its a game , its not suppose to work 100% as the original F zero
Normal people use Twitlonger.

People get mad about games that look similar to others for some reason. Remember all the shit about PLaystation All Stars and Smash?

At first I was like, "Damn how did I miss yet another amazing deal? I hate time zones", then "Oh cool, I dodge a bullet there."
I'll wait for a proper sale then.

Drive 3 laps in crazy racetracks.
Go with incredible highspeed!
If its too fast, you're too slow!
Looking like another game was their smallest problem.

This is thread worthy IMO.
I do hope they get another chance to make the game. Someone tweet Gio Corsi or MS about this, Sonty are OK with PC+PS4 release of games far as I've seen.

Let's see what he does with the extra copy! Inquiring minds and all that.Guys, dex3108 won two copies of Ori
The thing about the Ori price mistake is that, while he'll probably see a bigger check than usual because of this (it's the #4 best-selling game on Steam at the moment), it probably disrupts his future sale plans. Some of the people who took part in the $5 bananza might have bought the game for $10 if he put it on sale for that much in a couple months or $7.50 if he did that even later on (like, say, the Winter sale). For all we know he was going to use 3 or 4 sale points before dipping into the $5 area. On top of that, the people who just missed on the mistake might not want to dive in until that price comes around again.
All that being said, I bought the game. Do I feel bad? Only to a certain extent. It was on my wishlist but I had no plans of buying it for a long while.

Dang, busy day at work so I missed a price mistake. Regarding the price $5 is probably my trigger price whether it gets there naturally or by price mistake. I'm fine waiting another 6-12 months for it to get there naturally. My backlog has nothing but time.
I agree with the points made about future sales. Obviously by looking at the people that were able to request refunds, they were willing to pay that higher price at the time and now got it at a lower price. I'm sure Microsoft won't feel too much pain, but hopefully the devs are insulated from this.
