so I gave in

and bought Jojo's Fashion Show, but from Reflexive Arcade. Because they were willing to charge me the price that everyone else gets charged, willing to take my paypal payment so I didn't have to dig out my credit card, not trying to sign me up for recurring billing, not throwing a fit that I'm in the UK, and generally just happy to have my money.

Sadly, I'm also aware that Reflexive Arcade games get more heavily pirated than probably any other portal. I don't think it has anything to do with the specific things that drive me crazy - overcharging the British really has no effect on keygens - but it's enough to make SOME people feel that any insanity on the part of other sellers must be worthwhile. Sigh. Anyway, if you don't like being hassled, buy from these guys.

And to remind you why I had to buy the game:







Dressing up girls in ridiculous punk outfits! Sparkly lights! Hippie clothes! Fun!
