Runic Games announces the final class for
Torchlight 2 as "the magic-wielding Embermage. The mysterious Embermage joins the previously announced Engineer, Outlander, and Berserker classes. This marks the culmination of a month long buildup introducing each class to players." They also reveal the action/RPG sequel will occupy the same accessible price point as its forebear, which is $19.99 USD. "It’s always been our goal to provide exceptional value for the price," says Max Schaefer, CEO of Runic Games. "Everyone who wants to play Torchlight II will be able to comfortably afford to do so, and they’ll be able to play with their friend online or via a LAN, or play single player offline, all with no further purchases."

It's companies like this that make the massive publishers look bad. They are making a fully featured game with the standards of the big AAA guys, adding in things players have asked for since the original, including multiplayer and increased mod capabilities and asking only $20 for the title. They know that at that price, they are likely to sell significantly more copies than if they sold it for $60. People are more apt to buy it quickly and buy several copies so they can play the game with friends.
The big corps should realize by selling games at $60 a pop (often for a 4 hour experience anymore) offering little post-launch support to their games and milking the customer base with crappy DLC that consists of content made during the games development (I.E. stuff they pulled out so they could sell to you later) and harsh DRM, they are only hurting themselves.
On a more personal nnote, with all the news about Diablo 3 and Activision/Blizzards clear greed, me and my friends are all going to get together and lan this sucker and have a blast doing it. Something we did with Diablo 2 and had a blast at. D3 is still on my list, but it's now pretty low on said list.
