Price is unjustifiably 100 Dollars.

I bought Monster Hunter World + Iceborne for 20+ bucks. This game is 4 times that for lesser content with the same graphics and gameplay. Vote with your wallets gamers.

Because an old game is the same as a new game…

Isn't the premise of a license that publishers can pull it whenever they like? If that's the case then games aren't licenses. At least not all of them.

Not at all. Games within CDs are still considered licenses. Will the developer come to your house and ask for it whenever they want just because they own the rights? Nope.

But of course, if they are online-only and they shut down their servers, you will not be able to enjoy it any further. As a consumer, it's up to you to evaluate the format and be prepared to take the risk if they discontinue the product because the access is online. Does it suck? Yuh-huh. But it is what it is.

The only premise of a license is that the developer allows you to use its intellectual property. Games and software are not cars, fridges, or paintings. You own nothing besides the permit to use them, even if they are boxed. It always has been, and always will be, until someone decides to sell them differently.

yes I agree. That's why I don't buy online games but with offline games there have been cases where they stopped selling it but owners can still download those games
with software it's weird too. I have software from years ago and it works on all my machines

So you bought a game YEARS later after its release when the Capcom decided to put the game on sale for a deep discount to earn additional revenue? Perfectly fine. However, what is also perfectly fine is people buying the game when it's BRAND NEW and enjoying it on day one.

MHW+IB was originally 60USD as well.
If you bought MHW at the start, it was 60. And if you bought IB separate, it was totalling 100USD.

If you waited 2-3 years after the release date, ofc the price of MHW/IB was going to go down to 20+USD, thats how some products work.

We talking about PC now, i bought it on PS4 the day it released and it was around $59.99, base game for the new Monster Hunter is 100 bucks for no good reason.

The 100$/€ edition is for Deluxe + Prenium, what more you get is only cosmetic. Now, if that edition would also mean receiving the traditional expansion ~1,5 year later, that would be very worth.

Classic base game is 70$/€, while most big games cost on average 10€ more than they did like 6 years ago, it's still 30€ saved.

And yes, eventually Wilds + it's Master Rank DLC will eventually be 20€ too, but not before a long time, maybe for MH 25th anniversary.

This is just nonsense, i buy the game i can do whatever i want with it. If i want to mod it i can do it without the police coming after me. If i want to dump it's ISO for my storage in the future i can do it too. Just because they tell you it's a license now doesn't mean ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. You buy it, you own it. It's not like you are buying a Ferrari and you sign a license to not modify it.

No, theyre correct in the sense that this is a digital copy, not the physical copy, and they, the company that is "selling" you the product. ARE able to do whatever they want with it.

I got a series of movies as a bundle, and guess what? They removed the first movie from my digital collection.

Buy physical if possible people

Tldr; you're able to mod to your satisfaction, but the company can still take away the game in the end because its digital, not physical

Has someone already data-mined the files -- won't there be any expansion pack/s? What's in the base game?

with the same graphics and gameplay.

Gameplay, yes-ish -- as most successful series have had for their lifetimes; only, refined and built upon... But, the graphics are clearly improved, and especially in the open-world / weather effects departments.

Having said that, the days of Ps1 -> Ps2 -> Ps3 jumps in visual fidelity are long gone -- we've used up all the triangles that the human eye can properly discern. It's also why we've seen a bottleneck of the exponential "HD'ing" of monitor resolutions -- the difference is no longer as discernible as it was when we went from CRT to 1080p et al.. We've hit the diminishing returns threshold, and pumping more pixels in just doesn't have the pay-off it once did.

Hahaha. You cannot do whatever you want with 'your' game. You are never buying a game. You are always buying something called a 'proprietary license'. Those little things give you one of the compiled formats of the game that is ready to be used by the public, and you only have the right to perform and display the product, whether you have a CD or a key.

And it is not 'because they told you'. Copyright laws regulate those things. They are actual laws and not 'just because'.

I am sorry that you are illiterate and not well-versed in software copyright, as seen in the car analogy. There is not much we can do about it. I wish you luck with your bawling, however!
