A $70 price tag is the biggest tell of a game being dogshit

Games should cost $30 and I don't want to hear any excuses

>the buyer wants to buy my game at $60 instead of $70! I'll starve if I sell it to that price!
two can plays this game

>>723759067 (OP)
Video games should stop being made for profit and all of them should have a price tag of $0.

>>723759067 (OP)
Games aren't even worth 60 dollars

>>723759067 (OP)
>He downloaded my game rather than give me 100 dollars, I'll starve!

>>723759067 (OP)
You greedy faggots pushed your new pricing too hard, now I won't even buy your slop at 60
Make it 40

>>723759067 (OP)
It's not about the affordability its that we know its not actually supporting development its the paycheck for investors that we're footing.
If a game is GOOD it can be 40 dollars and make a fuckton of money and as long as its dev scale was sane for its project....it will make a ton of profit.
Can't keep trying to drive up prices to keep investment capital firms interested in backing game development in an environment where Schedule 1 literally bodied AC:Shadows.
>muh indie games don't count
Apparently they do....Schedule 1 and E33 were very good examples of how the mainstream industry is failing, and they both did so at far lower price tags.

>>723759067 (OP)
Most games charging $70 aren't even worth $30.

>paying for gaymes
AHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAA

I love how an argument of somethings' worth gets strawmanned into bullying me about my income as inaccurate as those comments are.
No, I'm someone who understands the value of my time and harddrive space. I know what games I'd rather be playing and spending my money on, and frankly the name of the game with any AAA publisher is "how much can we gut and still justify a full release price?" You want to up that pricetag? Make it worth my while. If you sell me a 30/40$ game for 70$ and THEN tell me you're upping it to 80 you think I will find comfort in the quality you're promising me? There's a reason E3 tech demos were notorious for being fancier builds with better graphics and railroaded demos than the actual releases.

>The MSRP is $60?! Our investors will starve if it's not $70!

>>723760085
As much as I like to get games for free, I do recognize developers and companies need that return otherwise they're not going to be making games for much longer. I support the good ones.

>>723760085

Kings.

>>723760453
Nah. I simply do it on my terms. If the price is right and the product is right, I support those business practices, not just because it is fair to me but because this industry needs to cherish and promote those who do their business fairly and ethically. Ubisoft and EA can go burn, My friendship with Nintnedo is over- well they weren't my friends to begin with, but you catch my drift- but I backed the Mindwave Kickstarter because the demo was fun as fuck and I believe in the project. They deserve the props and cashflow because they're making quality.

there hasnt been a single game released with a $70 price tag worth playing
name one, you cant

I pay $0 for my games though

>>723759376
this but unironically, make games for the passion or the cred. Money just trains you to make slop

>>723759067 (OP)
Games haven't gotten any better in the past five years. Most of them weren't even worth 60 in 2020 and yet they want to increase the price for literally nothing, during a time when people make less money and everything costs more. And every big game company will do it because of complete bootlicking retards like you. Get cancer and die faggot

>bought borderlands full price
>literally on sale 2 weeks later

fell for it again award

>A $70 price tag is the biggest tell of a game being dogshit
Sonic Crossworlds says otherwise, stupid faggot

Your shit at best worth $30 in a few years and bugfixes anyway. Lol FOMO clowns

I simply won't buy it then.
>but you can afford it
don't care
>but games are more expensive to make now
don't care

>>723759067 (OP)
I can easily afford a $70 game, the issue is that many modern games that come out don't feel worth that price, so then I feel bad because I know they dumped hundreds of millions into the production of some of those biggest titles.

I really wish some of these larger game developers had the sense to have internally produced divisions to make cheaper games with a faster production schedule that could at least provide stopgaps inbetween three years at best for huge tentpole titles. Like guys who can make low-poly 3D games that are fun as fuck or even arcade or action pixel titles that would only cost a few million at most. But no, that'd be too much fun, I guess.

>>723759067 (OP)
thats why i get games on steam for 5 dollars or less or i just get a console and hack it

>>723760453
The industry would crash if everyone pirated. You wouldn't want that, right...?

I spend $200 on rolls

>>723760990
Factorio ($35.00) + Factorio: Space Age ($35.00)
pirate it to see if it's your cup of tea, of course, but it's the best in the genre by a country mile and has gotten 2000+ hours outta me so far with no end in sight

This is the sixth time you've made this thread.

i waited like 20 days for my free copy of fft remake, im waiting for ghost of yotei free copy as well, itll be a a few more weeks for that

yes, ill literally not buy your game if its too expensive, and yes i buy games and support games i like all the time

>>723759067 (OP)
Holy chatGPT thread FUCK the internet is vile dogshit now

>>723759217
Says who?
(besides gigantic faggots of course)

$70? Why are you complaining about $80, goy? You should be grateful that games only cost $90! You people are spoiled, complaining about a mere $100 for a quality game.

>>723759067 (OP)
Do console peasants actually have to spend the full MSRP?

>>723764936
>boomer reddit game says THE line
That settles it...

I remember buying GBA games for 30€ back when they first came out, there's no way I'm paying more than that for games.

>>723763472
Use a website like isthereanydeal or something to see if other keysellers have the game you want on discount or to track the history of sales that game has got to predict if they will put it on sale soon or if they already had it on sale.
Most games usually go on sale eventually.

>>723769007
A Megaman X9 game that has the same quality as X1-4 would actually be great though.

>>723759067 (OP)
Games haven't even been worth a $60 price tag. Why would I pay $70, or now even $80?

>>723759067 (OP)
Slowly boiling the frog alive. PS1 games were priced between $40-$50. Eventually they'll charge $100 for 4K DEI slop + tip.

>>723759067 (OP)
>spamming
Still wont buy it.

>>723759067 (OP)
I could have used that $10 to buy 1/6 of another game
