Think ya'll shot yourselfs in the foot with the price ngl.

It just doesn't seem like this should of been price $50. Am I wrong? Am I out of touch? No, its the studio that is wrong.

That would actually be a reason to have it cheaper. Like 25 instead of 50.

If i am going to play a game in my living room, why prefer this over a similar boardgame if both cost the same?

Having stuff on the table would make for a better gameplay feeling.

I got no issues with money and I think it's over priced.

For one 1 person to buy the game? Nah. I mean if your playing solo. You might find it a bit pricey. But if your playing witha group of friends. Instead of 4 people buying the game, its essentially 12.50 per person. So its not as pricey as it seems.

It's high for an indy steam game, for sure. I never quibble about price, and am happy to pay a fair price for any game. But once it goes over $45, it gets into the area where I think twice. I need to really want it at that price point. There are many outstanding games for around $20. I guess people will either buy it or not, and then the devs will decide what they want to do.

They should of sold the game at $15 a player slot then, imho.

It seems too much to me, but this is hilarious.

This is DOA with the cost plus tablet/phone requirement. I was super interested in it until I saw that.

I like the dev and I plan to play with my wife and kids. If we go out to eat as a family it's easily $150. I didn't expect the game to be $50, so there was some initial sticker shock, but it's still a price point I can justify when I think of the other things we spend money on for entertainment. Also, I ended up buying it on the Switch, just for ease of use and play in the living room and such.

Shrug.

If I decide it is worth it, and I want it, I will buy it.

I never said, "this isn't worth it."

I said, "people will buy it or they won't."

Compared to an indie video game its pricey, compared to a cooperative board game (which is probably a better comp) its actually pretty cheap. Being able to buy the game once and share it with a bunch of friends at no cost to them, much like you would a board game or a table top RPG game system, is actually a big selling point for me personally.

yeah waiting for sale on this one, 50 is way over what I thought it was gonna be. (I'm glad it wasn't FTP though). The justification that you can split the cost with your friends though is wild lol, unless you have a consistent group of homies and they don't mind not owning something they pay for. But not a single review on steam as of yet I think indicates that most people are balking at the price for this one. They shoulda done more market research or something, not sure how 50 seemed like a good idea.

I took my kids to the movies the other day, and the tickets cost around $40.

Then I got them popcorn and drinks for another $40.

And I have bought MANY boardgames in the $60-$80 range.

So I can see that an evening of family fun is reasonable at $50.

ON THE OTHER HAND...

If it is really just a TT game... then there is TTS at $20...

Just saying, in the spirit of discussing the matter...

I don't really care what they charge, after all is said and done.

People will either buy it, or they wont...
