    1. It’s $80
    2. It’s on Gamespass, where I assume a lot of doom fans who might have otherwise purchased are likely to be.
    3. It’s shouldered up against Expedition 33 and Oblivion Remake, both over $20 cheaper and highly acclaimed.
    4. It’s $80
    5. (Edit) shitty DRM

        Mostly this. I’m not paying for something that comes with malware. Not for $80, $20, or $1. Nobody should pay for malware.

          Yup. I would have bought Persona 5 Royale and SMT V on day one, if there was no Denuvo. I normally don’t open my wallet for $60 games.

          Super Robot Wars Y? Not on my radar anymore. Denuvo has cost the companies at least $300+, and I am not a rich dude.

        Denuvo is the only reason I’m waiting. I’m on Linux, and I’m not risking that Proton change license issue. And also I hate the performance hit that Denuvo causes.

        Not in Australia, it’s $120 here.

          79,99€ in Germany

          I am interested, but not that much to pay more than 20€ in a sale in a few years. It was the same with Doom Eternal. And I haven’t bought it to this day 😅

          Maybe it will never be bought 🤷🏻‍♂️

        Steam, the cheapest I see it as is 79,99€ where I am, which is actually US$90. I just assumed the US store did a straight numeral conversion to dollars, but you’re getting a discount too, it seems.

      up against Expedition 33

      I mean… I don’t play Doom due to DRM but also to be fair Expedition 33, which I’m enjoying quite a lot on Linux, is “just” 40ish hours whereas Doom is (check notes) less than 20hrs to complete? WTH. Nope.

        20 and 40 hours both sound pretty terrible for such expensive games. Got far more out of games like Factorio and for a lot less.

          I’d rather have a 20 hour game that is engaging the entire time than a game that has a ton of filler in it.

            Factorio is engaging the entire time. Not a massive fan on story games because that severely limits the playtime you get from the game.

              Yep, different style of games. I need to give Factorio another shot, it seems really up my alley but I couldn’t get into it.
