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
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.
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.
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.
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.
“Capitalism subsumes all critique”
will have 3 hours of content like the first one.
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.
Developers need to eat and pay rent.
So the developers of $20 games are homeless?
Lots of Indie game developers actually don’t make enough to live off.
you know that games are made with different numbers of people on a team right
Let’s not pretend developers are going to get any money from these price increases. It’s all going to the publisher’s shareholders.
Which is why I avoid games with big publishers and shareholders.
tbh a 20$ game isn’t any less capitalist
I will not be buying any game for $80. lmao
You criticize society, yet you participate in it!
Curious.
I am very intelligent.
We’re basically forced to buy this game.
