price for a campaign wtf !!!!!

[Sambei_GamingTTV]

so you might aswell throw in multiplayer with the main game for that price atleast take £20 off the price because paying that for just the story is discusting

[Trevor Reznik]

Good price

[FluffyGlitch]

Ahem...This is a fair price, i mean every AAA game has it now days.
60$ for a game that will have support for both the campaign and multiplayer for like 10 years it is a good deal.
I'd say to pray Sony to stop pricing they're games 70$.

To be fair, that’s what is used to be like back in the day. Spent money on the campaign and everything else came with it. But because this is AAA gaming in 2021, you don’t get everything just from purchasing the product anymore. However, with multiplayer being F2P, you’re not getting everything, it will be behind season passes and MTX, requiring more money or a ton of grind.

yea but back in the day game prices was reasionable people only accept its now because its been this way for a while now but they use to be reasionalble

Like halo 3 and reach cost £30 they basicly doubbled the price of games

[BloodStarvedHoonter]

That’s very true

Lmao

What's the difference between including the multiplayer with the campaign for 60$ or selling only the campaign for the same price and make the multiplayer free to play ? You get to play both either way.

I see a lot of people make the argument that games should be between $70 and $100 when adjusted for inflation, but I highly disagree with that.

Since the age of digital-only (or nearly only) media, these companies have cut production costs by a metric butt ton. They no longer have to pay to manufacture any (or nearly as many) disks that they had to before. They no longer have to pay for warehouse space, shipping and receiving, resale fees, etc etc. Between half to 1/3 of the overhead cost for putting out physical media has completely vanished.

Which is why games should still be $60 at most. They've effectively offset the need to raise prices by cutting massive amounts of operating costs. Physical media is EXPENSIVE. Horribly so. And now they're not paying those expenses.

Now, the real reason why prices are STILL going up? Those savings they made aren't going to the development of the game which IS increasing in cost. Instead, they're going to the CEOs and corporate suits who take home 100x more than their lowest paid worker every year.

The real reason prices are STILL increasing despite the fact that we should be seeing $60 standards for at least another 10-15 years is plain and simple greed.

Because once you factor in how much these companies are saving by going digital, there's really no sane justification for the price increase.

Now, with all that said, Halo Infinite will have free-to-play multiplayer so there's nothing to "throw in." You're already getting it. Plus, every Halo release before had a price tag of $60 so I'm not really getting the outrage on this game specifically. As far as everything is concerned, this is the status quo of a franchise that goes back decades with the one exception being you won't need xbox live to play it online anymore (and on PC the multiplayer would have been "free" anyway so...)

Its basicly a mind ♥♥♥♥ way of justifying the price for games oh btw the multiplayer is free but if you want the story you gotta pay the price for the full game asif you paying for multiplayer too i.e not aculy free because everyone is gonna want to pay the story

[Luna Wildpawe]

They can't even deliver a feature complete campaign mode at launch but still expect you to pay full price anyway. And multiplayer is only going to be "free" so they can attract as many kids with their parents credit cards as possible ala Fortnite/CoD/Apex/etc.

and they putting out a battlepass you probly pay for too so you end up paying more then a full game and dlc ontop

[( ￣ω￣.)]

I think they should just include a season 1 battle pass included for purchases or a exclusive armor set for purchasing the campaign to justify the $60 price point. That being said, I don't really mind if we don't get anything, but I def understand the complaint since we arent even getting co-op at launch

[Spazmaloid]

play mp until it's about %50 off by which time coop will be available. win

[puppet74]

dont forget its not just mp thats a live service, its campaign as well. You buy campaign ur buying into the live service for sp as well, who knows what they will add down the line apart from coop. They also said this campaign is larger by far than any previous halo game.

People can't keep demanding higher graphics and more this and more that without raising prices just because people would rather whine and just budget like a responsible person. This game plus new engine are already costing over 500 million usd. If people want cheaper they'd have to be content with cheaper made games but if they DID do that you'd all just ♥♥♥♥♥ about the game looking outdated or some bs as usual.
