You criticize society, yet you participate in it!
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 $20
That’s a bit more of a rare occurrence: I wouldn’t count on it happening for OW2 as well.
It was even free at some point
But the game is so bad that it isn’t worth your time
Man, there better be a ton more content than the original to command that price. The first was a decent game, but it felt pretty boring to me, and it’s wild that they could use a whole solar system as the setting and it feel so small.
tbh a 20$ game isn’t any less capitalist
“Capitalism subsumes all critique”
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.
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.
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.
Being aware of the irony is free. How you respond is completely up to you.
it’s free on usenet. just saying.
Microsoft sets the price and they whant you to subscribe to gamepass so they can lock you in and eventually shitefy it
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
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
Once again I have to remind people that inflation exists. Game prices go up just like everything else and the last few years have seen insane inflation rates and game prices haven’t really climbed since the 90s. $60 in 2019 would be worth $75 today. $60 in 1996 would be worth $122.
Inflation rises, but wages do not. We’ll pay more when we have the money, and the workers are paid fairly.
Once again I have to remind particular morons that inflation is a convenient excuse for execs to never take a pay cut, only ever exorbitant raises and bonuses.
And 4k TV gets cheaper. What’s your point?
Why do publishers increase the price of games, though? It’s not like the price of the rare components to make games increased.
will have 3 hours of content like the first one.
