I’m pretty sure the game is enjoyable, but is it really $70 (Or in case of EU 80€ which to be crystal clear is a fucking joke of a price) enjoyable? I thought about buying Doom TDA but when I saw the price tag I decided to buy V Rising instead. I’m pretty sure for more than half the price I’m getting as much enjoyment out of V Rising as I would out of Doom TDA.
My issue with the increase of premium pricing is mainly pragmatic. There’s no reason to pay that price when you could get just as good or better games cheaper.
I pirate about 99% of the games i play until they go on sale for under $20. I dont think $70 for any game is fair, but i make an exception for doom games because they are my absolute favorites.
For me personally its worth it, but i wouldn’t recommend it at full price to anyone who isnt a hardcore doom fan.
Game prices haven’t followed inflation because the market kept growing so fast that they made it up on gross revenue. That’s coming to an end (hence the post-lockdown market contraction and layoffs), so expect prices to go up by at least $10 every generation from now on.
