It's not going to be worth 80€

[Trallawan]

They are just trying to push a new standard for the industry. In a scene where games are rushed and developers exploited, they are confident this business practice will not only be sustainable, but event more lucrative.
Consumers are forgetting their stance and favoring this by buying over-hyped franchised games.
I really hope they don't sell enough. Don't preorder. Don't event buy it whilst they be sustaining this unjustified price.
You are not favoring the developers by buying at this price, only a few greedy suits.
This is the actual war we playing, and is as easy as making a simple choice. Do not preorder.

i think it will be more than worth it if it has as much value per hour as i got from d16 and eternal

Well then we can assume 15€ an hour to equate it with cinema.

then the game will soon cost €300 or €400. I don't know what this calculation is all about. Then each board game can cost several hundred euros. you should remain realistic somewhere.

More and more expensive games, unfinished games and endless DLC. (which also brings in more money and should bring the actual price down)

justified with more effort. But the gaming market has also grown significantly

Here the wrong people simply get too much money and everyone joins in

Well, if you don't like the word "worth", I'll say it in another way: they don't deserve 80€ for this.

They slowly trying to push that 80e price as norm and if people just stay silent they will go for 90e and then more.
I never understood why is so hard to not play certain games at launch and wait a little bit for discounts to show that people dont want that that crap.
It would be different if they charge 80e for whole game, but nooope they still release Deluxe, Premium and other crap.

Yep! Even though I've been waiting this new Doom quite a bit, it immediately went to my "get later from deep sale" list with this pricing.

No Doom game is ever worth its release price. They're always short games.
But.....

Start fighting for higher wages because its going to get worse. The industry is hoping Rockstar will charge $80-100 for GTA6 so they can consider it the norm https://www.ign.com/articles/gta-6-price-many-in-the-video-game-industry-hope-for-80-if-not-100-analyst-says

this has nothing to do with "time travel" or knowing the future, games were $60 for several decades, they only moved to $70 in the last couple of years, they won't move to $80 any time soon, it's plain common sense

Except you are failing to see it happen right before your eyes this last year alone. Games using "advanced access" as a way to push the price into 80$. If you even bothered to look at the front page theyre doing it here too. And their bundling the the DLC to bump to higher to $100.

i'm not failing at anything, you keep moving the goalpost, first you claim i need to be a "time traveller" to know that it will be $70 and then you move the goalpost from base $70 to games having more expensive editions, which has been the case way before the newer standard $70

Well, I'm in EU and new games we're 60€ for a long time. Some have increased the price in recent years to 70€ (base game) such as MH Wilds. But here comes the kicker... This new Doom does not cost that 70€ (like most AAA games do), oh no no... It costs 80 freaking euros. For BASE GAME.
