Why does it cost so much?

[つづく]

It's an indie game and short I hear. $25+ is asking a lot.

Because it's published by a famous YouTuber and he could charge 40, 50, 60, 70+ dollars and his idiotic fanbase will still buy it because in the modern era marketing is the only thing that matters.

They also seem to be dogpiling any reviews featuring remotely negative criticism.

Or because it's a pretty good game that can be short but has a ton of optional content (50+ hours from reviews), and has been in development for 7 years? Plenty of other indie games out there with similar pricing.

Did you even look at what you get in Hades 2 early access?
Its More content than the first game.

I paid $70 for Starfield, $25 for this is fine.

Ah yes, so you new to indie games right? 90% of them cost around 20$. All of the indie games i bought recently cost more or less the same: Indika, Another Crab Treasure, Bears in Space, Crow Country, Tales of Zendera: ZAU, etc...

Also, the youtuber thing doesn't matter at all, the game is receiving positive reviews because its damn good, that simple.

It's a game with 8-10 hours to beat, but apparently has about 40-50 hours of content total if you want to dive in deep to the post game. I mean, 25 bucks for 50+ hours of content seems alright to me.

Stardew Valley: hundreds of hours of content, 15 dollars
Terraria (not indie but small team): thousands of hours of content, often on sale for 5 dollars, base price 9.99

So you listed two games that are outliers as far as game time. How about the rest of the thousands of indie games?

[Ragnardo]

wow a whole 5 bucks over the average of a good indie game price. How will we manage.
