Why is a game that released 3 years ago more expensive now then it was before

[I HATE drawing]

This is so silly.
HFW is 79.99 on steam, 65.99 on PS5 and even sillier, its 50$ on the PS4 and allegedly if you buy it on the PS4 you get a free PS5 upgrade to it anyways, so the 15.99$ price difference is just for chumps who didn't know better.

Anyways, why is the price of the game only increasing as time goes on? Its a pre-order for a game that already came out lol

this is the "complete edition", it already has the dlcs included

[KevinK]

it is the complete edition..... and its releasing on a new platform. You know u have to pay ppl at the porting studio salaries they dont work for free......

Each country has different prices. Depends on the value of money
My country 40 dollars

the billions of dollars being sent to be laundered is the real cause of that. Do some of your own research instead of parroting what others tell you.

[JUICY]

why are there people crying about the price if its too expensive for you then why not stick to the first game or better yet wait another 2 years to save $30 you tight asses dont complain here you either buy the game or not end of discussion

That is why I don't buy these games through Steam, but from a retail site for cheaper :)

You can get it on CDKeys for 44€ which is like 26% cheaper than on Steam.

TRUE!

Sony thinks too highly of themselves, they think they are doing PC players a favour by porting PS exclusives

Also Sony hates its own consumers look at PS subscription pricing model compare that to Gamepass

All they have to do is release Bloodborne and everybody (even current owners) will be happy. The main reason being that even on PS5, the game is locked to 30 fps which is crazy bad for such game.

It doesn't even has to be a remake, just a simple remaster with 60 fps lock on PC and PS5 Pro is enough and they would make so much money that they wouldn't even know what are they supposed to do with it lol.

Bloodborne is such a crucial game in the whole gaming industry that it's just selfish not to release it on PC as well, the game is old enough to deserve a PC release.

79,99 what?

The game is £50 here in the UK, when it released on the PS4 it was £60 and on the PS5 it was £70.

You do realise that Sony didn't just put a PS5 disk in their magic porting PC, and 3D print a PC port, it took an entire company and hundreds if not thousands of people 3 years to port it over. How would you suggest Sony pay their wages?

That is utter BS, Guerrilla Games, has little to do with the PC port.

Nixxes Software does that, with around 50 employees & they have not been porting it for 3 years. Nixxes likely moved onto this a month or so AFTER their last port released.
July 26, 2023 Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart

Their NEXT port
May 16, 2024 - Ghost of Tsushima

Porting games to PC takes far fewer people & time than you seem to think.
While the price is not an issue for me, because as a PC gamer, no game exists if I can't play it on my PC.

I prefer GOG over Steam & own HZD on GOG & will only buy this the when it releases on GOG.

I am just voting with my wallet here Sony has more than enough resources to have a PC port ready for simultaneous release with the PS version. If you delay 3 years than I am going to just wait a few more months till the inevitable steam sale Sorry. Would have jumped on this when it first came out but Sony you blew it when you make people wait too long they have more patience as a result and can hold out.

Rift apart was super stable for me, day 1 had a few microlags but they got fixed after not even one day, they work fast just calm down and be patient for tomorrow, its gonna be fine.

it's $60 and it comes with all the DLC content. It's actually a good deal.
