Charging $60 bucks for a 14 year old game is insane

[FlameHood]

Expected 30 or maybe even 40 but charging a full price of a game that came out 14 years ago with the same gameplay intact and slightly updated graphics is not it.

They are crazy to think this game will sell well with that price.

i finished it yesteray after 2 weeks and 3 days.It was great action game. Graphics at maxed 1440p were not as good as other current games but as it game it was lot of fun

. Lot of action and in general a good game with Mickey mouse. Similar other 3d platformers games like most Sonic games at relase date like SONIC GEENRATIONS X SHADOW that releases in 2 weeks and SONIC FRONTIERS in 2022(iget all sonic games on release date as iam big eggman fan sicne 1994 when i played sonic 1 at 7 years old,) also cost 60.

Mickey Mouse is a lot more populat than sonci because generations and generations grew with him as he exists since 1940. So why woudlnt his games also cost 60 at release date?
I say again that iam surpsied that it didnt sell so well as it should.
But Diseny is a huge company and they have unlimited money. Iam sure that the money that they paid the purple dragons to make it are less than the money they made from the sales untl now even if they werent as high.

well, they probably start a lot of stuff from stretch, so to them, it is almost a full game development effort, so they charge the maximum $60

$60 covers the raw development plus R&D phases of a brand new game. This game didn't have R&D, which is a large part of the cost of a new game. This $60 price tag smells of a clueless Disney exec thinking of how to squeeze out the most dollars from nostalgia and fans happy to make excuses for them rather than proper value calculation.

But it basically is a new game
brand new camera to fix the crap old one
new models/textures to make the game visible
new content
preservation
like just because it's a game that has existed in another form in the past it isn't devalued. Unlike most games released today, this is actually worth the price.

There are sooo many changes/improvements done to it. It's absolutely worth the price.

Old post, but clearly you haven't played the original if you think this would be anywhere near the same par quality of a game made for the Wii. Dude, the framerate alone on the original games is enough reason to play this - mechanically, this game feels and looks 1000x better than what was possible when this came out. Support the devs and buy the game - or wait for a discount and see if the sequel will come.

Sequels happen when there are enough sales of the title and sales happen when customers feel they are paying an appropriate price for the product. It is clear the devs put in their effort but Disney overpriced the game as it factually underperformed as linked above. Supporting overpriced games is not sustainable for the industry and should not be justified just in the name of getting more entries, especially for a company treating customers like ignorant idiots ready to bend over backwards for their whims.

I'm just glad that another classic that may have been lost to time has been preserved. If it's too expensive just wait for a sale, you know it will come down drastically like everything else does. No need to buy it day one.

......annnnd it's already $30

:neoncool:

Imagine what could have been if it sold at that price as MSRP lol.

23€ now on humble bundle

Feels vindicating that they dropped the price so fast. They knew it was too expensive. Despite all the defenders here stalwartly defending the absurd pricing.

Yeah and it's also possible some of the people defending the crazy base price are paid shills trying to gaslight customers. Wouldn't be the first time these companies try things like this.

The game is 2 months old. That's what typically happens with pricing. They didn't know it was too high. They simply dropped the price. That's what it happens with most games.

In another 6 months, it could go on sale for $15, that's 75% off.
