Author Topic: am I the only person who thinks game pricing is getting way out of hand?  (Read 1997 times)

Which game was this?
Space engineers? I want to know all these games people are trying to sell for more than their worth.
Some intergalactic hype space rts, I don't remember the name
yeah, but is there a season pass, countless amount of dlc, yearly releases with no new content and terrible gameplay?
So? You're not buying it so it shouldn't really bother you.

I feel like your talking about Space engineers or FTL but that can't be it.

Also a friend of mine got really pissed off cause i suggested to him he should save his money rather than but the $100 supr sweg COD game he wanted to get, he also thought the new exo-skeleton was gonna be so awesome when its just gonna be another gimmick used in a cutscene for 4 seconds then discarded.

they will charge what people are willing to pay for it.

if i ran a business i wouldnt give 2 stuffs about normalcy or fairness. if the people are willing to throw cash at me ill hike up the prices.

are you talking like, on sale or no

was going for "not on sale" because I think the $60 standard is loving stupid but I did take a look at the last few games I bought for around that price or higher:

Guilty Gear Xrd pre-order = $76, but it's the limited edition
Gundam EXVSFB = $99, but it's an import of a special version and the game is awesome
Shadow Warrior 2013  = $35, pre-ordered for $5 off but that was worth it because the game is great

good for you
as the consumer I have a problem with it

watching people fall for the same stuff years in a row would bother people

I bought fallout: new vegas for $2 and that was a good deal  :cookie:
I typically avoid anything over $20, but if something really interests me then I'll take a look at it

in fact, the only game I will ever pay $60 for is GTA V on the PC, and I'm waiting for a preorder

good for you
as the consumer I have a problem with it

if all consumers had that problem, i would have to lower the prices.
but if you are the poor one, no one cares.

start a boycott on my business then. change peoples minds. you and your feelings are irrelevant.

If you think 300$ for a game is bad enough, See how many people will riot for a 400$ virtual knife

Really?

people like nal are crying and whining about this because its call of duty

people would pre order and buy the season pass + day one dlc for any other game without thinking twice, but just because people circlejerk about "same game different name" call of duty all of a sudden its a big deal.

yes, just google "planetary annihilation 90 dollars" and you'll see a bunch of results for it

I'm not butthurt because COD is doing it other Devs have done it in the past and have also gotten away with it.

you know getting skins on csgo is really easy but little time consuming
nobot told me about this guy who traded up from a 3 cent skin to i think a 10 dollar skin, by trading.
