$80? Are you insane?

[Raden]

So yeah, just wondering where you guys get off charging $80 for a digital game. Isn't the point of digital only supposed to be to drive down the costs? And then $55 for a season pass. You guys sure are either overblowing Doom's popularity or you're all smoking some mighty fine crack there.

Because they have deals with physical copies providers. Think of it this way: if they sell digital copies at 20$ each, nobody would buy the physical copies, right? hundreds of companies would go bankrupt, thousands of workers would become jobless. Gaming is not just a simple hobby you know, it's a huge industry, and companies compromise so none of them goes out of business. It's quite simple when you think about it, but since they don't usually talk about this so it's not the first time this question's been asked.

You're asking steam forums to show logic and weebit of knowledge in economy, Hell will probably freeze over before people understand that ( or after DoomMarine takes care of it )

The steam popup update says DOOM is 59.99 but the store page still shows 79.95, added it to my cart and it's still 79.95.
Seems they can't even agree on a stable pricing for Australia lol
I think I'll be waiting a bit before I grab it, or via an alternate steam key store.

Try CD keys dot blah :0

Except it has nothing to do with not having the money and more of the fact it's just a rip off.

IDK about AUs, but its 60USD, 80 CAD. that is normal AAA game title prcie tag. This isn't low budget game. THis is high budget game that had a lot of money poured in. You should feel lucky that its only that price. If the price of game rose along with money value from the past, we would be paying at least 150 dollars per game.

Normal is $60 USD & $60 CAD - $70 became the norm upon the 8th GEN Consoles release, and as the CAD$ dropped below 80 cents, games got brought up to $80 and will continue to be until the CAD$ reaches a stable 85 cents to drop down to $70, and eventually back down to the normal, regular AAA price of $60 CAD.

High budget? Doesn't take millions of dollars to develop a game :/ marketing for DOOM has been pretty large, so you can guess where most of that budget went to.

That's like saying Skyrim, FALLOUT 4 and CoD cost $50+ Million, when 90% is marketing.

It shows both development + marketing. A lot ofgames cost millions of dollars to make...

We live in times in whitch games are pretty expensive on the launch but their prices goes down fast, today on g2a i saw Doom -52% for Steam. in Christmas it will be buyable for 25$. If you dont wanna overpay, you need to wait for it to have better price.

As far as commercial (non-indie) PC tittles go, development cost isn’t a factor in shelf price, neither will a higher shelf price necessarily lead to greater profit.

[Sur_GalaHad]

Well, speaking of living off mommy and daddy then, I guess he would know since only the loser children cheat in multiplayer games. lol.

lmao how mad kiddo? It's okay I understand you can't get a job to afford games.

Stay mad and look at my profile :)

Alright, so? You must really fail in life if you consider someone being unable to find a job a looser. People like you are the worst. You keep yappin' and tellin' people to get a job, when you have no ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ clue what you are talking about. Dude you're the cancer of humanity and no atter what you will say, it always will be true.

Geez, as if number of games I own actually means anything. I could own a single game and it wouldn't make me worse than you are. If number of games really mean that much to you, I honestly feel bad for you, because you really must be a basement-dweller who dont' even have a girlfriend and yap about their insecurities over the internet. Geez.

Why do you have a VAC ban on your account? Cheater?

Indeed I made a mistake a year ago and learned my lesson. Do you want more details? When I got it? Time and date down to the second?

Also, I don't get why OP is trying to say mommy and daddy bought people their games. I am pretty sure the only one that has mommy and daddy buy there games is the one that thinks Steam is the only place to buy PC games.

Yes. Please I'd like to know the thought pattern of someone who cheats.

[Spider]

you could have pre ordered, and got that 20 dollar DLC for free with preorder... lol

I'd bet if they dropped the price by $20 or so more people would buy it. It's better to sell two copies at $60 each for a total of $120, than it is to sell one copy at $80. Especially when those copies cost literally nothing to make since it's digfital only. It's just good business practice, and it's also a good idea not to try to gouge your customers. I've been a fan of Doom since '95. I would love to try the game, but I don't love paying this much for them. Ifd they were cheaper, I'd buy more (which ironically would probably cause me to spend more money...)

The entire gaming industry is corrupt with greedy pigs who could care less about the actual games.
