2 euros for definitive edition

[kоВ]

I find it really scandalous to have bought the game for 40 euros a few years ago and to see that today a definitive version is sold for 2 euros on certain sites. I find the game particularly good and on the same level as civ6. On the other hand, I find such a price difference really disrespectful. It's sort of a way of saying to the original players "you would have been better off waiting rather than supporting us"

So because of "respect" you don't want other people to get this game cheap? You had a few years of fun for your 40 euros, why not let other people have the same fun for less money? It's not like it will cost you anything if others get it for almost nothing now.

Every time you buy a game full price you know that it will be (much) cheaper at some point. I never mind that myself.

much cheaper of course. that human kind is sold for 15/10 euros after 3/4 why not. but two euros, for I repeat a full version without bugs. It's not even the price of a metro ticket. so yes it's really making fun of the players who bought the game on the day of its release.

[Finwickle]

I still don't see how it would negatively affect you, and thus not how it is "making fun of players". Guess we walk this world in a different way.

2 euros also means telling players “this content is worth 2 euros”. and that is not the case

wat sites?

where excatly are you getting these figures and I am not sure how it affects you? Endless Space and Endless Legend series are still full price. So what if Humankind is cheap in key selling places? I don't get this at all.

Price perception, quality perception, brand loyalty, the customers wallet.....

What you are suggesting/implying is more "sunk cost". The op is approaching it from a more opportunity cost and future risk/cost/benefit analysis.

This way of looking at things is only going to make you miserable and resentful all your life.

[kоВ]

you laugh? endless space is less than a euro. In short, it doesn't matter, I don't want to promote a key sales site. when you see that the other competitors of civilization like old world have not really lowered their prices, if you don't know the games it sends the message that humankind is only a two euro game.

nothing to see, but I have defended this game since its release to the critic. it's a French studio. so I find that this choice of spending the game at two euros is totally stupid. it's funny to see so many comments talking about resentment when it has nothing to do with it

that for once a French studio creates a good game, it is shameful to sum up the price of their work, at the price of a baguette. What's hard to understand?

What's hard to understand is why Amplitude should catch flak for HK keys being resold cheap. It's been added to humble bundles and stuff like that, and doesn't have stellar reviews, so I'm not surprised that, let's call it lightly, "grey" market values it little.

I really have no idea what's the purpose of this thread aside of maybe thinly veiled ad for people to go out and look for the keys that are this cheap.

[kоВ]

If the keys are available at this price it is no coincidence. These are not HK keys since they are zoned for Europe. once again it is a COMMERCIAL choice. And the sites in question don't need me for their advertising

This game never compete civilization.
In their better days CIV was the 10 most played game two years ago (In Steam). Humankind never get more than 90K players in the same time, when CIV make and destroy varius records historic for 4X Strategy.

So, no, this pale imitation of CIV is nothing to compare, CIV III make ironically better random mapas twenty years ago that this game. And dont was a game based in procedural generation.

Humankind can be four years ago a ``potencial´´ new welcomer, but never get a underdog position or some similar.

This game have so many problems who are infexables, like broken factions who ignore the rules of the game, ♥♥♥♥♥♥ ia spam and basically 90% of mechanic are uselles and in the best cases negative for your own empire but never for the IA.

And dont make me talk about the snowball. I think this game (Humankind) have the more agresive and stupid snowball i see not only in strategy games (Age of Empires and Halo Wars are famous for their snowballs) if entire games (I see rng roguelikes more with more justice and equilibrium that this thing, hell, magic rng jesus or darkest dungeon are more fair than Humankind).

So no, this is a complete fail project, all the matchs are the same. Spam military units, spam production and spam science investigation. When you get enough stars, your production in the next era is not double or triple, no, is a literal thousand times better than the last era, the difference between Ancient Age and Medieval are so abismal, who you can said ``GG´´ in the moment you get Pikemans. The rest is history.

If that is not enough exist Broken civilizations like the Huns, Minoics, Maya, Persians and Japanese who literal washed the rest of civilizations of the game.

The rest of civilizations are basically trash compare to them, but the most funny, exist too many units, who can literal broken the game, like the gesatas (who never lose force for casualtys) spam with Celtics, The Maories with their anti-fortificatiosn infantery units and the Spanish Conqueror who created more aditional money for unit who kill and basically help you to spam more conquerors over and over again.

And the modern and contemporanean base units are so broken who literally dont care the emblematics units, with Conscripts you can just wash the map of your enemys, if they are still in Modern Era.
