Why is it so expensive?

[Magma]

Why the hell is this digitial download PC game more expensive than the console version? This includes a FREE copy of Ground Zeroes, so you cannot factor that in.

PC games have always been cheaper due to lack of licensing fees imposed on the developer.

Why is nobody else complaining about this?

What the hell is going on?

LOL, for what reason? It's released around the same time as the console and its optimized for this platform. What you said is entitled bull and incredibly ignorant considering games like Witcher, AC, Batman, and any other AAA title releases on PC are around the same or even higher than this price. considerably cheaper? lawl, you just want it to be

Yeah, that's exactly what I am saying. Those games are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ expensive.

You don't know what you're talking about. You must have just started buying PC games because you clearly don't know how it was before, kid.

Cry more child, the price evens out because the PC versions are supposed to be better optimized than the console versions. Not to mention your arguing over a licence and conveniently forget that the game is being sold by a third party meaning Valve gets paid same as the consoles. That's the first stupid thing you said. The other was assuming games on PC were always cheap..... that statement alone is just stupid, games on PC have always been in high priced and if you can't understand simple inflation than you shouldn't be talking... Whose the child here?

you could wait for sale off ....wintersale maybe

Ok first of all have you ever seen a triple a game at release on steam sell for any where lower for $50 or euroes or what ever on steam. Second if Ground Zeroes still costs money alone it's gonna add to the price of a bundle.

[IamSnorlax]

I'll wait for a sale. Screw paying that much.

[Tigzar]

25 quid for me bonus

[Sheytan]

The game costs 41€ in Swedish retail stores

EU buyers gets ripped off on the EU steam store.

[Fitne Por]

74.99-19.99 = 55

Didn't they say FREE copy of Ground Zeroes though? The package info factored in the price of that game.

TLDR: That's a bundle.

You ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ skinflint ... i mean : Srly there were so many game way more expensive that MGS (and without any additional features , like a free copy of a game and some contents)

Plus it's MGS so 60 € isn't so much for a "legendary game" like this

[TheMuyu]

in Turkey steam price is 30$

Maybe you set the price according to salaries in a particular country, eh?
60€ for a new game in Poland is WAYYYY too much.
30€ to 40€ is ok, but 60€ is simply a NO. I never bought and never will buy game on Steam for such a high price when I can buy it boxed in retail for 30€ to 40€.
Why would I add 20€? It makes no sense to me.

Dominant position in digital distribution is going on. That's why you don't want monopoly. That's why you don't want AMD to go under. intel and nVidia are already going crazy with pricing. No competition = consumers are suffering.

I love seeing the word "entitled" and the phrase "go back to call of duty" in every thread ever made. :D

Get a key from ebay if you can use Paypal. Got one for $35USD. Steam prices in general tend to get ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up when converting to other currencies, depending on the dev.
