Why did they bend the knee so quickly?

preorder numbers must have been non existant.

Part of the plan?

desperate

Cool. Now drop it to 59, and revise every character in the game to not be a hideous monstrosity of American genetics.

This dogshit should be $40 tops.

>>716288634 (OP)
this ass game isn't even worth $50
Obshitdian had the balls to demand 70 shekels for their mid game.

Still in awe this game is still getting made. What a waste of cash and man power and life on something nobody wanted

Free with game pass.

>preorder numbers must have been non existent.
This. Desperate ploy to raise awareness and increase sales

69.99 is still pointless when you can just play and finish it on gamepass for far less and just cancel and leave after a month.

>implying 70 bucks for a game is fair
60 is the standard

>>716288634 (OP)
Yeah like I'd get a sequel to a game I refunded in less than an hour.
>don't allow lesbian bitch on crew
>board ship
>her room is filled with her stuff despite her not even setting foot on it once
No thanks

>$70
Why is it so expensive?

>>716288634 (OP)
they knew they couldn't get away with charging 80 bucks for this indie tier trash

even fallout fags hate that crap.

>>716288918
$40 is too much, everyone knows the original was a pile of shit.

>Put a game out initially at a very high price
>Lower it a bit but still keep it above the norm
>get free praise
genius

>>716288752
This is a good start but they really should release at 20 because I got other shit I can play while waiting and this way I'll get it for 5 bucks in two years.

>>716290617
>praise
From who? Even the steam forums are still laughing at such a small price change.

>>716290734
You actually want to play Outer Worlds 2?

I didn't even play the first one when they showed the Rick and Morty guy.

>>716291092
How can I post funny gamebreaking bug webms for (You)'s without playing the game?

>>716291092
Not really, didn't play the first one but I'd like for publishers to hurry up and understand that a mature digital video game environment means they have to drop MSRPs. Also I don't get mad at shit games I get for five bucks.

>Futuristic space game
>pump shotguns firing purple sparks that take multiple shots to kill unarmored enemies
Man I fucking hate this shit

>>716290429

They want to test the limit before the twig snaps and the market collapses.

Is this a PR stunt or are they actually desperate for pre-orders?

>>716290617
>Praise
This shit shouldn't even be $30

Lol, they are worried how it's going to sell

>>716291150
Normally I would thank you for your service but they don't even deserve $5

>>716291785
Luckily nobody mentioned purchasing.

>>716288634 (OP)
Why would anyone preorder a gamepass game?

>>716288634 (OP)
Still too much

>>716288789
It was. It was a way for people to accept the $70 price as the standard even though, not that long ago, people were complaining about that before. Very good use of the anchoring effect. Give them a ridiculous price and they'll accept the lower intended price they wanted you to buy it at. They are still keeping the $20 extra for 5-days early access. Lot of people on youtube claiming victory on this when they still have the other overprice things around it. This is like how people claimed Borderlands 4 bent the knee when it was assumed they were going $80. $70 was announced with pre-orders but they still were charging $130 for premium deluexe and a $150 collector's edition that didn't even have the game in it. Borderlands 4 is a more extreme example but the anchoring effect style applies here.

Also, I feel people are giving Microsoft too much credit when they literally laid off 9,000+ employees not that long ago. You think you made a trillion dollar company blink when they lay off employees no matter if they are successful or not? Let's be real here. People really need to not have the brains of goldish and remember what's happening with the whole industry in context and not just a singular action in a bubble.

>>716288789
Yeah
Mkw in europe had an msrp of 90 euros for the physical, a month later its 75,- everywhere.
Nintendo games never go on sale, yet mkw dropped 15 euro's on a month and donkey kong is 63 euro's instead of 70.
75,- feels cheap compared to 90

But what if its good what if we're- BAHA HAHAHA HAHAHHHAHAHAHA YEAH RIGHT AHAHAHHHAHAHA

$70 for a shitty bethesda-like? wow what a win

>>716288829
Your turn.

>put $999 price tag on shitty product
>slap "90% off" label on it
yooooo only $99 what a deal i need to buy this

>>716291727
Haha, yes sarr that would indeed appear to be the case.

>>716292382
Mario Kart World launched at 80 and is still 80. I don't know what kind of scam stores you're going to.

>>716288634 (OP)
I still like obsidian but why the fuck did they decide to make a sequel to this shit? No one wanted this.

>>716295692
The devs who get free microsoft money to write more gay lesbian and tranny charatcers while saying croporations bad wanted this though.

>>716288634 (OP)
>the character is holding a pen
>it has crayon texture

>>716288634 (OP)
$70 is still a big ask. $80 is fucking ridiculous and only nintendo can get away with that.

anyway, this doesn't effect me in any way, because i don't play AAA anything now. it's all indies and AA at the outside. want me to play AAA? make it free to play, then i might, and if it's onerous to play without putting money in i'm out.
