Get used to pay $80 for games
This is the new reality, what? you can't afford them? then you know the drill, get a job, didn't you know that gaming is a luxury? $80 games are totally fine and this one is just $69.99 at least in the US, about other parts in the world well who cares.

Xbox & Microsoft just raised prices and Nintendo probably was the trigger with the $80 mario kart and every other publisher soon will follow and increase the price up to $80 and bit more.. what? don't like it? economy has changed, there's a thing called inflation you know? the $80 tag is justified. in the 90's games were more expensive, learn about inflation"

So we are very lucky, don't forget that microsoft owns bethesda and they could have just charged $80 for this game, we are being spoiled tbh.

Didn't you know? games cost gazillions to make, actually $80 is kinda cheap considering all the hours of quality entertaiment you get with no bugs or poor performance else change your GPU please, as i said, gaming is a luxury so if you dont have at least 4070 your complaints about performance are unjustified. Forced RT this is a sign to upgrade potato get that new gpu asap, there's a reason why they giving away a copy with brand new 5080 and 5090.

EDIT: game is already a steam TOP seller.

it has DENUVO DRM... this is great news, this way bethesda is preventing pirates from destroying our hopes and dreams and protecting multibillion industry from filthy criminals who just want to destroy videogames. This is another reason to buy the game asap.

No
I choose not too. 80 bucks is insane. It will be in sale for 60 dollar in two months, just like every other triple A. And even then I'm not buying it. It's a marketing ploy.
The game is already 80 EUR, which is worth more than 80 USD.
I recommend people to become more patient gamers. Instead of throwing money to games that drop fast in price like the DOOM games do. I regretted buying DOOM Eternal on day one because the price fell rather quickly.
Do it for the games in your backlog that deserve it and only wait to be played.

well this isn't a matter of choice, it is what it is.
I can afford them but that DOES NOT mean I will be spending £70+ on a video game!

You're paying 80.00 because Microsoft hates you.

Grey market, 62€ ez
No I choose to wait a year or two for a deep discount, story DLCs and patches. Not paying $80 for a videogame that I don't even play right away.

We are not lucky and if you defend this ♥♥♥♥♥♥ practise you are part of the problem as to why games are getting stupidly expensive along with everything els might i add....if everyone made a stand and said ♥♥♥ this to these greedy corporations ..they would have to lower prices due to loosing sales. ..don't you see that as long as there are people that will pay a stupid price for soemthing..They will continue to incresse prices...if they can get way with it down to greed they will. its that simple

I have a back log of games on steam alone that'll last me for the rest of my life without having to buy anything new.
I've got every Doom...I'll skip this one. I'm not a cow.
