You can say that again.

On the other hand, from a casual game standpoint, the price IS a lot more reasonable than the prices of some casual / adventure-esque games I've seen.
Yeah, you really can't compare new retail products to old thrift pickups, so this is the better comparison. Whether something is worth $5 will be completely dependent on an individual, but I see it as pretty reasonable if the content delivers.

This is actually a really good question, though it doesn't exactly relate to Gumshoe. In this case, you only pay once and then "own" the case, and can replay it as often as you want (and will probably have to! ). So as long as it's streamable, you can keep playing it. But it does still raise the issue of losing access down the road, and left with no game at all.
