RIDICULOUS!!!

They need to calm down with the price on this outdated game. Seriously, I used to own this game way back during ps2 or ps3 era. Nothing is new here and they're charging it like it's some triple A game or something. I had fun back then, but no thanks!

It appears to be a relatively common thing. A lot of games get re-released on steam, and for some reason they're priced as if they're nearly new. Although actual new AAA games are even more expensive now, but that's a different discussion.

I don't know if there's ever going to be a better answer than the studios wanting money and feeling OK charging this much for an old game because 'everyone else is doing it'. Part of it is probably because Steam likes to take healthy chunk out of all sales (30%). There's other platforms that take smaller cuts, but they don't have nearly the same number of users that Steam does.

Console ecosystems take 30%. Mobile ecosystems take 30%. Its the industry standard, and those that don't are either lacking in support infrastructure (example: itch.io) or additionally are trying to bully their way into the market so they can data harvest now and enshitten later (example: Epic).

While competition is healthy, Steam offers a lot in their ecosystem towards earning their cut that none of their competitors yet offer. Its more than I can say about the other closed ecosystems that have the advantage of a native storefront, yet charge the same rate.

A game which is been out since 2007. You have an easier time playing it with friends on Parsec and on Dolphin Emulator than actually buying it here. I would buy this the second its $20-25. But $45-50???

What the hell, this is an old game that hasn't had any new thing for it than before, There is no reasonable thinking outside of money milking scum tactics on the people whom have nostalgia for the game.

Make it moddable, add tons of new content and player freedom then i would consider $50 but this is Absolutely NOT worth $50 currently. Its just a re-port. I love Dokapon Kingdom, this is ridiculously priced.

REMOTE PLAY, it requires all players to have the game to remote play. How ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stupid and money scummy do you have to be, to do that to people on a old game?

People will be better off emulating this for free than buying it and supporting it. This is not worth the price. Lower it.

Damn straight. Honestly I'm already pretty butt hurt by getting the Switch port when I could've this port instead...in hopes that it can be easily modded because, while I still like the base game, playing this rouge-like without anything new after so long does tend to get boring fast (At least having friends makes it less boring)... Even at that reduced price of $20-25, since I got the Switch port, there's no way I'm still going to buy this...it's either online modifiable or bust...

unless they tried to add some new contents (or adding new maps or new stories) compare to the original one, otherwise it doesn't seem worth to purchase it.

Yeah, at least something new that'll be worth throwing 50 dollars, but unfortunately there's nothing. 50 dollars just because we could finally play online? Lol that's still not good enough for me

Exactly, that online section for the game is not even a good excuse for that high price.
