8 bucks sale? someone doesn't understand how this works

[The Sylvan Learning Center]

make the game free already, cowards. This is an old game that I'd try out, but won't buy. Like just cause 2. I won't pay $12 bucks, nor $8. not $5.... not $2.

Give me the game for free or I won't play it. This is how it works now.

And they arn't giving it out for free so I guess you dont matter.

Get a job.

[Nats]

I presume it will be free on Xbox Gamepass for PC next month

[spuds185]

the game is worth $15 for the campaign alone. Get a job stop being a entitled ♥♥♥♥♥

This is a strange hill to defend w/ personal attacks

the point is, games are given out for free all the time, such as remnant. There is no reasonable reason why this one shouldn't be as well.

It was on sale on Origin for 5 € 2 years ago LEL.

What is the logic of giving this game away for free? Other than you being a cheap bastard and not wanting to pay?

Like seriously! This is not a F2P type game.

[DarkPaladin727]

F2P gets filed with hackers so I'd rather pay

You do business to make money not charity lol

It's not free because the game is still worth the money, there's other games out there that are much older that isn't free right now either, so much more. Making a game free because of it's age isn't a sound argument at all, that isn't "how it works" as you put it. The singleplayer campaign alone is worth at least $20 and the multiplayer is fantastic with a decent playerbase after sales. It is very much worth the money that they are asking for, and I would argue that it's worth the retail price too.

I do think its fair to say that you are the one that doesn't exactly understand how any of this works. If something still has value, it's gonna be marketed with that value in mind. Be it's retail price or a sale sometime after.

It's <10€ when on sale and will give you at least 10+ hours of fun. So go get a job or ask for more pocket money instead of expecting to get free stuff everywhere.

You're threatening that you won't play the game, but you're not explaining why the devs should care.

No, jumping up and down and shouting, "gimme gimme gimme" isn't an actual argument.

This is a well thought out point, unfortunately it to a thoughtless thread.

You have to communicate more simply.

lots of confusion here.

I'm not saying this is or should be a f2p game.

But old games sometimes just go bloody free these days. Even though they are theoretically worth something, smart people have figured out that you can actually benefit more from massively distributing it. You explode your userbase, rather than continuing to sell a mostly dead product for peanuts.

once the motivation to pay for the product evaporates, giving it away is a valid advertising strategy.

And it should be used here, because I'll spend $1 on this game over my dead body, but... it looks kind of interesting maybe for a few hours or something. But they're not getting a bloody cent from me. They just aren't. and people like me are legion.
