Thanks to the hype, it’s now $80 for the incomplete version and $100 for the real version. I would’ve bought it new for $70 since that’s apparently the new normal price, but I’m not greenlighting $80 or $100 video games. GTA VI will probably still be wildly successful and just like that, every other publisher will start selling $80-$100 games from then on. Thank God for indie games and steam sales I guess.
Well.. if you're in the US, sure. But think of it from the perspective of other countries with different currency rates.. I live in malaysia, $70 is already RM283. With $80, it now gets to RM323. Basically RM50 difference. And where I come from thats a huge amount.
Also to OP's point, its the principal; in the 2000s, it used to be $50. Then it increased to $60, and people already had a problem with it. Now its $70 going $80. Its a slow increase, so it makes sense to feel like "its not that much", but if you look back, it was an 80% increase from $50.
For me personally $100 is not a lot of money to drop. Like that shit is change especially for a one time investment.
I can’t speak for everyone else, but we have to play the cards we’re dealt
I understand that but when you don’t have a choice, there’s no point in literally being mad about some shit you can’t change. I’m not saying it’s right though
You're not getting it.. its not just this game. Its whats going to happen because of how their pricing this game. Enabling this means other game developers will be pricing their games the same way.. Sure no one's forcing anyone to buy this game, but keep this trend up and noone going to want to buy games anymore because it'll become so goddamn expensive.
