How expensive will the game be?

[PringlessMan(9001)]

Will it be free? Will it be 50 dollars? Will it be 5 dollars? I know its hard to assume how expensive it'll be, because the game is still being worked on. Could you guys maybe give a price range?

[Bornous]

It doesn't look like a 5 dollar game - minimum I would said 20 dollars

I better start saving up money.

20$ are we nuts? Dude, I know we are used to COD being 50$ 60$ but please... don't be absurd now. Cyberpunk 2077 is 25$ on discount and the DLC is 29$.

Big support for Kurzgesagt if the price is not absurd I will totally get the game and even gift copies of it. I just hope it's not like "yeah if we can sell a mug for 15$ surely a video-game can do for 69,99$"

Or one can do it free and make it full of micro transactions and loot boxes, they can copy the good ideas from EA. Then rename it to Greedy Birds.

Well, what would be a non-absurd price for you? :)

It depend on the game...

If it's a small casual base building game , maybe 15 to 30 $
If it's a extensive base building with plenty of replayability it could go up tp 60$

A rule of thumb is 1$ per hour of gameplay. If I saw averything the game has to offer in 20h than a 20 $ price tag is good.

All depends on the game. If its well made, polished, fun, not repetitive then an outrageous price would be 60 (I don't have much money.)

[Neo]

I am really hoping for $15 but that might be a stretch. Looks like at least $20-25

[LX]

Im guessing about $20 is fair.

[PringlessMan(9001)]

Im gonna agree with the crowd now, from what we've seen so far, I think its a 20-30 dollar game

If Cyberpunk 2077 is 25$ on a big discount, then a 20$ game would be 10$ on a big discount, so what's the problem?

I think 20$ is very reasonable, as long as it has enough content and it's not something that you finish in a couple of hours.

A non-absurd price for the current market would be about £20 / $25 for a game like this.
The amount I'd personally be willing to pay, as somebody who usually waits like half a decade to get games on deep sale, and am used to getting games for free by simply waiting long enough? Realistically, about £5.

But hey, that's what Wishlist is for. If a game stays in your Wishlist long enough, you get it for pennies.

Steam has 2 big sales during the year. A winter and a summer sale. Theyre refering to the fact that games will start getting discounted about a year or so *sometimes less) after being released. With the discounts getting larger and larger as time goes on. In order to not forget a game exist, just add it on your wishlist. Lolz
