WTF is this price?

[HoriZonT™]

Bro, in my currency I'll be paying 70 dollars (And it would be the base game)

In comparison:

*Baldur's Gate 3 > costs 59,99 ~ BRL 199,00
*Elden Ring > costs USD 59,99 ~ BRL 229,00 (with dlc: BRL 309,90 deluxe edition BRL 387,50)
*Black Myth: Wukong > costs USD 59,99 ~ BRL 229,00 (Deluxe edition BRL 279,99)
*Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 > costs US59,99 ~ BRL 199,00 (deluxe Edition 309,90 and Ultra Edition 359,00)
*GUNDAM BREAKER 4 > costs USD 59,99 ~ 232,50 (Deluxe 349,90 and Ultimate 387,50)
*Dragon's Dogma > costs USD 59,99 ~ 279,00 (deluxe 319,00)

*KCD2 base game costs USD 59,99 ~ BRL 299 ("deluxe" BRL 398,00)
===================================================================
According to this site > (https://www.usa.gov/minimum-wage) The Minimum wage in USA is 7,25 per hour. I'm assuming people commonly works 40h a week so it means you'll earn US1160 per month. That being said, the proportion you'll be expending of your money in tripleA games is more or less 5%.

In Brazil we earn per day (The calculus per hour only happens in specific situations, so let's ignore it for now). The minimum wage in Brazil is precisely BRL 1412 per month and 47,06 per day (We always use 30 days for the base calculus). KCD costs approximately 21% of the salary the majority of the Brazilians receive. Elden Ring/Black Myth Wukong costs approximately 16%.

While you, fellow americans, have to work 1 day to buy this game, we Brazilians have to work like 5 days to pay what Elden Ring asks, and for KCD almost 6 and a half days. (Not every job pays for extra hours though).

Fun information: The correct price for AAA games in Brazil is BRL 199,00 14% of the minimum wage. That's the most acceptable here and is the price used since the beginning of times.
===================================================================

edit1: this is obviously a hyperbole, I'm well aware that the game isn't 70 bucks. But this is my logic: the difference in prices considering the minimum wage is about 16%, if you add it to 59,99 you'll get ~69 dollars. And even if you disagree with my crazy math, 299 BRL is about 54 dollars and I said 70, so its clearly a hyperbole either way.

edit2: d1ck salad eater: someone who pays for a bad/overpriced product. In general this person will defend a company and its practices without being paid for it.

DO NOT pre-order boys. Don't pre-order ANYTHING. They're not going to run out of copies and just promotes this terrible practice.

5 months in advanced??? ARE YOU INSANE??? For that price??? Should be half price to ask this far in advance. No joke, you're a chump, sucker, rube, and probably should of stopped eating lead paint chips sometime in your 20's if you pre-order.

It's a cancer in the gaming industry that will just keep growing if we feed it. Shame on the devs to sully such a masterpiece with an unbelievably long pre-order stretch. I'm sure a lot of games have had the same time frame and longer (not including Scam citizen) but I've personally never seen a 5 month ask for pre-orders.

Also not a good sign if they need money this far out. Seems like they're far from finished and need to hire more help to finish on time. You going to pre-order an unfinished game for THAT price and hope for the best?

Don't be stupid. They won't run out of copies.

I will for Vavra.

My boi deserves it.

Do you even know him personally? Of course not.

Enough for a pre-order.

No self-respect as a person and a consumer, that much is obvious with you. You don't owe any corporate anything, but they can certainly screw you over in so much as a heartbeat if they so wish.

You're fine to do that after the game releases to, not that "support the devs" holds much weight when it comes to a AAA product, it's not an independent or self-published thing after all. Pre-ordering digital products only incentivizes negatives on the consumer.

Yeah, I have enough trust in Vavra to pre-order 2 months in.

Based on what exactly?

People said the first game had a lot of problems

[Jack Maker]

Yeah, the price is garbage, especially for us Brazilians. Sadly I'll have to give in for this one as Warhorse already proved itself for me. But it would be great for others if they reviewed this price.

In brazil there's no schools? 299 brl is 53 usd, not 70 like you said

In EUA there’s no ophthalmologists or do you just don't know how to read?

[Lord Of War]

Nothing wrong with the price.

65£ for a Gold Edition roughly equals to a half working day for me.
Damn, that's insane play value over here! :O 4hrs of work and easily squeezing tenfold of playtime. That's pretty cool!

[Wirewing]

They are regional pricing. Your currency is just worth less. What you and others from Brazil , in the forums of every game is asking for is not regional pricing, it's a regional discount.

You already have a discount.

Choosing beggars.
