The pricing is self sabotage.

[Apantos]

It's not even a case of it just being expensive in some regions like often happens, its £70 for the base version in the UK. This is genuinely unheard of. They're charging more for this than any other game I've seen on PC in the UK before.

This will not sell well at this price point and it's such an incredible shame for the series' future.

[Afevis Solmunko]

Easy way to find out if it's an error, what's the price on the PlayStation Store for you?

Valve & Sony both have content parity clauses, so it should be the same price between both platforms - if there's a discrepancy then it's a mistake.

MGS5 costed 90$ at release, 30$ for GZ and 60$ for TPP, so this remake is cheaper unless you buy the deluxe edition then It's the ame price, unless you count MGS5 DLCs then remake is still cheaper.

TBF if i were to develop a game i wouldnt sell it for anything less than $100, i also take pride in my process, and wouldnt release a half finished product to get investments from players who expected a full game when they just released it to get money to finish developing the mess they made.

Good job doing bad research.

Here let me show you how it's done :

​Konami Cuts the Price on Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes
[...]
Previously, prices for the current-gen versions were $30 digital and $40 physical. The different-prices-for-different-platforms structure for Ground Zeroes has been a controversy ever since it was announced, with many decrying the playable prequel to Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain as a demo that players would have to pay for. the varying costs became even more controversial when it became public that Ground Zeroes' playtime can be under two hours, depending on how you play.

At its original $40 launch price it was a very hard sell. It's a fun "demo" with some solid level design. The maps in TPP are better.

Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes gets permanent price cut

Konami announced a permanent price drop for Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes this week, cutting the game's cost down to $19.99 on all platforms. Ground Zeroes is now priced at £19.99 and €19.99 in Europe as well. The game will reach Steam on December 18.

Acting as a prologue to Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain and also set after the events of Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, Ground Zeroes took players through a rescue mission as series hero Snake. Ground Zeroes launched in March for $30, and according to our review was "also 30 bucks for one hell of a cliffhanger" as the game wound up "teasing more than it satisfies." The next proper entry in the series, Metal Gear Solid 5, will launch in 2015.

Thus MGS5 costed 90$ to 100$ at release since MGS5:GZ = 30$/40$ and MGS5:TPP = 60$.

In case you can't do the math It means this remake cost less than MGS5 at release. 30$/40$ for a 2 hour prologue but the majority of people still bought it because kojima, so now that kojima isn't here you are angry because at release this game cost LESS than MGS5 at release lmao.

Quit reaching and moving goalposts. MGS V was a brand new game and it released for £50. Trying to add that to the price of the prologue to claim MGS Delta is a spectacular deal and far cheaper at £70 is ludicrous. Even the most die hard Metal Gear fans would admit this shot-for-shot remake is very expensive for what it is.

This is one of the most expensive games on Steam in standalone form.
