WTF is that price

[Spy Boy]

Some time ago 70€ became a new standard price in the industry, even that many games still were sold for 60€. I don't think that it was really justified but whatever, a lot of time passed since 60€ price tag was introduced.

But this game has 80€ price tag for some reason. It's like if it would have 70€ price tag in 2016, when normal price was 60€. Do you understand what I mean? So, really, WTF?

For 80€ you buy some deluxe editions today. I haven't seen a single game which would be sold for this money if we speak about standard edition. It's ridiculous. Those greedy CEOs can survive without another yacht. I will use torrents.

They are already talking about bumping it up to $100 now. Sad part is, you will pay it. you will own nothing (because its digital) and you will be happy.

It would have very big critics from the public. I will watch how this 80€ price tag will be accepted lol. Not all people do pre-orders (I don't understand their point today actually, when it's digital version and store can't run out of copies), so, we will see what people will say around the release date.

I literally said "80 EURO!?" out loud when I saw the price. Not even considering buying the game at this point. Also day 1 DLC and release before "official release" if you give them even more money.
Thanks, but no thanks.

From fun/entertainment to a luxury item.
A luxury item that you don't even own...

The fall of videogames.

I'm not going to be a stupid sheep that walks on a string to places it doesn't want to go. I'm not going to pay that kind of price for any GAME. I have no problem waiting for discounts. Everyone who buys games at these prices supports the market change permanently in this direction.

The average consumer is still just a drone that is proactively being programmed into propagating the new trend.

Will you laugh or shiver the next time a game releases for 75EUR and someone goes on to defend the practice because "other games are 80EUR, it's because of inflation dumbass"? Every purchase here is a step towards further exploitation.

There was criticism, but the publishers forced it at 50. Then it became the norm.

There was criticism, but the publishers forced it at 70 with DLC/MTX. Then it became the norm.

Now the exact same thing will happen here. Consumers cannot do anything when shareholders and publishers drive the market.

i pirate games time to time if I dont respect publisher, for example, Sony. If someone is not smart enough to pay such price - he can do it
