One of my favorite games is trying to get the best price on a game I want. My backlog is a few years long at this point, so I don’t need to buy any new games. But if I can find one I want for 90% off or more, I usually buy it anyways.
Man, there better be a ton more content than the original to command that price. The first was a decent game, but it felt pretty boring to me, and it’s wild that they could use a whole solar system as the setting and it feel so small.
The regional pricing of this game is also garbage. I see on steamdb that a few third world countries (where I live) got prices similar or higher than the US for this game.
I’m not buying that shit until it’s more than 60% off. Like for instance the alters has sane regional pricing. Most poor countries get a hefty discount from the US price…
Ain’t payin no $80 for no game
Just wait 5 years until it goes on sale for $20
To be fair, I wouldn’t pay $1 for no game. If I’m paying money—no matter the amount—I expect to actually get a game.
tbh a 20$ game isn’t any less capitalist
I will not be buying any game for $80. lmao
Being aware of the irony is free. How you respond is completely up to you.
i watched a video about the new Marathon game and how it lacked the political ideologies and warring nations of the original trilogy, and filled the hole with a very basic vague anti corporate aesthetic. this is essentially why I found the first outer worlds so dull, it went out of its way to say nothing about anything beyond corporate power dynamics
Developers need to eat and pay rent.
So the developers of $20 games are homeless?
you know that games are made with different numbers of people on a team right
Lots of Indie game developers actually don’t make enough to live off.
Let’s not pretend developers are going to get any money from these price increases. It’s all going to the publisher’s shareholders.
Which is why I avoid games with big publishers and shareholders.
will have 3 hours of content like the first one.
“Capitalism subsumes all critique”
You criticize society, yet you participate in it!
Curious.
I am very intelligent.
We’re basically forced to buy this game.
