$119.95 Aud for the standard edition.

Absolutely absurd. It's digital media. For that gouging price I should be getting a collectors edition with discs.

I will probably get Starfield simply because I've been looking forward to it for a long time. But it will come with a negative steam review due to pricing.

I think in this massively greedy era of gaming with mtx and price gouging, alternate ways of obtaining games is absolutely ethical.

That's nothing they want 300 euro for a watch :))

Take a shot everytime someone argues about the australian price.

Games were $90 in the 90s. Adjust that for inflation.

Grow up and pay money for ♥♥♥♥ if you want good games to continue to be made. Entitled.

But...

You get to live in Australia. "Crikey!"

Beer, surfing, boomarangs and kangaroos.

It's so much fun there.

But mate I have to spend the equivalent of 2 coffees to get 10,000 hours of breathtaking game time. PASS

theres a difference between a 70 dollar game and a 120 dollar game. if starfield was 120 usd everyone would be kicking up a stink and cancelling bethesda. OP is just mad over the conversion rate and really theres nothing we can do about it.

thats okay tho because when the price of games does reach 120usd ill get to grab the popcorn and watch people try to justify it.

also considering quality has dropped on alot of AAA games its justified to be mad about prices going up, it doesnt have much to do with inflation. would be different if quality stayed at the same lvl or was higher

As I recall, so was Redfall. So it looks like either Microsoft or Bethesda's "regional price" team, decided that should be their Standard Australia Price.

(looking at other $US70 games. Jedi Survivor is $AU100; Final Fantasy 7 Remake, $AU115; CoD:MW2, $AU 110; Mortal Kombat 1, $AU100; Diablo 4 $AU110. So yeah, $AU120 looks like the high end of the scale.)

Well, yes, but not everyone is same, thought, everyone is difference hobby and fun. I live in north American, where it's mostly bored and limited for me, there is no ocean sea, there is dirty lake that I had no desire to be in it, with cold weather, no thank you. even so, it's only more fun if you had someone with you, lover/spouse even better. but some people do not had someone even family and friend but not same mindset, not connected.
