The $70 precedent has to stop.....

Why is every game now trying to charge $70. If the game isn't gonna have more than 40+ hours of content there should not be a price tag over $60 bucks. Also there should be 0 bugs and a perfect running game day one. We all know Bethesda isn't gonna pull that off.

I personally will wait for this game to be $30-40. I do not support the costs of all these games devs upping prices.

This has been the normal price for years and only now everyone has an issue with it. What the heck.

You think people must just accept and comply?

No it hasn't been "for years", only a few games even tried to push the price up in the last year.
Who gaslight you into being this *?

See two years ago. They were posting this because it became a trend. Every non indie game has this price tag it’s the new normal.

Not what I said, but I guess. If you want to play the game then buy it or wait for a sale. I don’t really care just pick one and stop whining

Hard to understand people arguing against their own best interests. Seeing people be happy about a single player linear shooter be 80 euro is insane. I hope it doesn't sell regardless of how good it is just cause of that.

For 70$ I need 40+ hours of content, good story, proper voice work done, face models so I can see face muscles flex as they speak. When I step on mud I want to see footprints lol. As much as I like doom, ID software are not about that life 😂😂

Get used to games getting more expensive. If they charge $100 for GTA6 that will be the new norm. https://www.ign.com/articles/gta-6-price-many-in-the-video-game-industry-hope-for-80-if-not-100-analyst-says

Start fighting for higher wages if you are complaining about being priced out of a hobby

The abusive price tags are stupid. Just wait for a sale and vote with your wallet. Plus the lazy forced ray tracing crap is going to cut off even more people from the game. Love me some doom but if it flops it's kinda deserved.

No it will not. Just cause gta will sell for a 100 doesn't mean anything else will be able to charge that price and get away with it.

Consumers defending anti-consumer practices is quite common.

The original Doom was $40 at release, which is $80.46 today. Well, the original had multiplayer, though.

CoD 4 had cost $76 on PC and $91 on consoles if you adjust for inflation.

Red Dead Redemption 1 was about $86 if one adjusts for inflation and RDR2 about $80.

The original Half Life was $94 on PC if it was released today. HL2 would be a bit cheaper, bu still more than this: $83.

Wolfenstein 3D was $112 (!!!) in todays money ... and that without any multiplayer or modding tools.

PacMan for the Atari VCS (2600) would be $115.

The original Doom was $40 in 1993. On pc there's no licensing fee so id software got about 55% on a sale. So they got about $22 net per sale on Doom. $22 in 1993 adjusted for inflation to 2020 when Doom Eternal released is $39. With Doom Eternal they get 70% on a pc sale which is $42 net. Doom sold 3.5 million copies in its first 6 years. So we'll guess it grossed $120 million in 6 years even though it's probably lower since many of those sales were after price drops. Doom Eternal did $450 million in 1 year.

Compare Quake 3 to Doom Eternal. Quake 3 launched at $50 in 1999 and had 50k sales during it's launch week. Doom Eternal sold 3 million in the first week. $50 is 1999 is $77 in 2020 when Doom Eternal released but selling 60x more during launch week probably makes up for the higher budget. Also Quake 3 was all physical sales with the publisher getting netting about 55% per sale while all pc sales were digital and at least 50% digital on console. Digital sales nets the publisher 70%.

Again with Doom they netted $22 a sale. $22 adjusted for inflation is $47. With Doom Dark standard edition they get $49 a sale. Although the early access will drive many deluxe edition sales which nets them $70. Also that 70% take goes up when meeting sales thresholds. At $50 million the publisher starts getting 80%. This game will easily hit that and in fact may already have. 80% of $70 is $56.
