They're the geniuses who also thought it was a great idea to:
- have a $80 "ultimate" edition with a 2 week early access bonus
- sell a $50 "collector's box" that doesn't even include a copy of the game... not even a game code to activate on Steam/Playstation/Xbox
Yeah, everyone is feeling that, not just game companies. It doesn't mean they need to overprice their games. Lots of "indie" games that look better than this cost less and is worth more than its asking price.
This? just looks overpriced. Could have been $30-$35+ (+tax) but it's $50+tax (so around $53-ish bucks) not only that but it comes with a "Deluxe" and "Ultimate" edition.
And what do you get with the Ultimate Edition? Chapters 1 and 2 two weeks early (how many Chapters does the game have and why only two early? no others?) and a bunch of other stuff (especially Cat content) to FOMO people?
Everything went up. People need to spend their money wisely, but these companies keep overpricing their games (especially knowing some people will still buy it, the rich/sheep instead of waiting for a sale) which screws everyone else over.
Why not let anyone and everyone that pre-orders it, the 2 weeks early action? why must people be "forced" to buy that edition just to play early or to get certain goodies? instead of just having one Edition that includes everything?
Don't need to respond, I said what I had to. And both of you already bought the game so lol y'all won't understand.
When a publisher sets the price, they have to be conservative in their estimates for game sales, so they have to expect lower sales numbers, and that means higher initial prices for the launch period. You can wait six months or more after launch for the price to come down.
they set the ultimate editions price high so they can justify adding early access to it and people will feel fomo and they can use them for profit. which begs the question will the edition cost the same amount even after launch (probably). not that it adds anything noteworthy either, just some outfits that look mid and well cat content and that just seems really random that they had to implement because square enix wanted content for the ultimate edition. im just not happy with these prices because you only replay the game like 2 times before it loses its charm, there isnt any replayability so why is it priced like AAA game even tho it isnt.
Just Hope that this one is as good as the series from deck 9.
If anything, development costs went down as people stayed at home and were not distracted at the water cooler.
Greed is what drove most of the price increases and we now see how our own governments are incapable of reigning in greedy multi-nationals. Up to 1/3 of the actual price increases attributed to covid were based on price gauging. Reputable universities have released studies that tracked the meteoric price increases and a large portion of that is down to corporate greed.
