All microsoft games cost 70 euros i dont know why but unfortunately this means no buy until there is a discount! I have never bought a 70 euros game and possibly will never do it i was considering it for gears 4 to support because it was first game on the series to release same time on pc but i didnt do it and bought it at a 20 euros sale later and while i play all action games no matter what i refuse to pay so much money just for one game!

My guess is that companies trying to take the next step.

At PS3 ERA, triple A games were 50€ on PC. (60€ on consoles)
At PS4 ERA (current ERA) ,triple A games jumped to 60€ on PC. (70€ on consoles... yes we actually pay 70€ for console games for the past many years)

As we approach PS5 ERA, I would imagine they want to bump this number up to 70€ on PC (and probably 80€ on consoles)

In a way it makes sense.

The Development cost of the "Game of the Year" in 2013 (Bioshock Infinate) , isn't the same as the Development cost for Game of the Year" in 2018 (God of War / Red Dead),

But although it could make sense, I know it's hard to swallow.

Also $1 ten years ago isn't even the same value as $1 today

Its 60EUR at Windows Store, so the real reason for Steam price is obvious.

Microsoft is doing this on their store for a pretty long time... they dont care they just slap console prices on PC games. 4th Gears was the same price at release.

thats the reason why i wont cancel my order with my favorite keyseller. I pre-ordered it 1 month ago for 40 bucks. AND i can play it on my xbox one x AND my PC. I wont pay 30 bucks more just to have it only on steam for achieves.
I wait for a sale and then i have it on all 3 possible locations :D for the price what you all pay here for 1.
Its absolutely bonkers whats goin on in gaming now.
As early access and remasters arent enough cancer already they reached a new high with all them launchers what no one likes, and now the absolute crazyness from microsoft to release some games through steam same as former PS3/4 exclusives now on time exclusive epic store.

And why are all games now the same price like on consoles?
Wasnt that the reason to buy a more expensive PC to get games cheaper in the long run and in better quality? Seems all of those reasons are gone now.

Microshaft winblows exclusive one time! payment price! DON'T MISS IT!
ADMNtek Aug 21, 2019 @ 11:56am 
this makes no sense in US the price is just 59,99$ but in EU it is 69,99€ WTF. for all other games the price is the same 59,99$ in US and 59,99$ in EU but not for this one.
4000 rubles, ♥♥♥♥ off, Microsoft!
