Curious.
I am very intelligent.
We’re basically forced to buy this game.

Ain’t payin no $80 for no game
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.
Just wait 5 years until it goes on sale for $20
That’s a bit more of a rare occurrence: I wouldn’t count on it happening for OW2 as well.
It was even free at some point
But the game is so bad that it isn’t worth your time
Man, there better be a ton more content than the original to command that price. The first was a decent game, but it felt pretty boring to me, and it’s wild that they could use a whole solar system as the setting and it feel so small.
The regional pricing of this game is also garbage. I see on steamdb that a few third world countries (where I live) got prices similar or higher than the US for this game.
I’m not buying that shit until it’s more than 60% off. Like for instance the alters has sane regional pricing. Most poor countries get a hefty discount from the US price…
Lmao china is only 55usd while europe is a whopping 92usd. I hope it flop.
“Capitalism subsumes all critique”
tbh a 20$ 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 just looked it up, and I’m surprised to say that Spider-Man 2 (just released on PC back in February I believe) is still only $60. I mean, sure it’s over a year old from it’s original PS5 release, but the fact they’re not asking $80 for it is kinda nice.
And Oblivion Remastered is “only” $50.
$50 today is equivalent to about $28.50 19 years ago. So it’s effectively half price lmao
Except wages didn’t increase that much, and price changes drive inflation, not the other way around.
Feels like we’re dancing around the topic of purchasing power collapse so it might as well be said - this is a bread and circuses issue at heart.
I meant it’s “‘only’ $50” because it’s an entire overhaul of the original game, rebuilt from the ground up. Similar to how Skyblivion is gonna be.
Like, that’s a damn good price for one of the best RPGs ever made, with the amount of work that went into it this time around too. I’m not complaining about paying that for such a great game.
Clair Obscur (a gorgeous, new game) is 50 bucks. I rest my case.
I mean sure, plenty of new games can still look great and be relatively affordable. Nowhere in my comments did I say otherwise, or even imply it.
I really feel like people are jumping on these comments because I dared to say a couple recent games aren’t selling at $80.
Oblivion? One of the best RPGs ever made? This is a joke, right? It’s not even the best Bethesda game.

I had to let the point slide, never argue matters of taste with people who eat shit
The PS5 version was actually ported to PC a full year before the official PC release by a bunch of Brazilians. In many ways with was even better than the official release. Only downside is that it didn’t have ray tracing. But if you don’t care about that then it was worth playing.
Of course this has nothing to do with your point, just saying.

will have 3 hours of content like the first one.
Microsoft sets the price and they whant you to subscribe to gamepass so they can lock you in and eventually shitefy it
it’s free on usenet. just saying.
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.
Developers need to eat and pay rent.
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.
So the developers of $20 games are homeless?
Lots of Indie game developers actually don’t make enough to live off.
you know that games are made with different numbers of people on a team right
