I wonder how much they'll charge that dude who played Qbert for 60+ hours? Oh ya, he's one of thier buddies so they probably won't make him pay at all.
It will be interesting to see how many people will actually pay to have a score put up on a scoreboard. I can't imagine anyone in their right mind would ever submit a score for a console game at these prices, especially the newer ones that already have their own scoreboards. I know this cuts me out of the picture. I had considered doing a record run on Timber but I was planning on playing over 12 hours and there is no way I'm paying $75+ just to say I have an arcade record when I can do it in MAME and submit to MARP or here. Add in the fact that this Cat person is now an employee and I don't see myself giving a crap about TG ever again. My prediction is that in a few months to a year, they'll figure out this isn't working and try and change again but it will be too late as most of their customers will have moved on to other things.
