Comment on Outer Worlds 2 cut to $70 after backlash
BarbecueCowboy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks agoIf you’re basing your value judgement on the price of similar games on the market right now then no, it’s very very unlikely to be worth 70. There are critically acclaimed open world games that will likely beat this on content and potential enjoyment / play time for $5-10 right now.
Realistically, we’re paying for the novelty though, if you’re desperate for something new it might work. I told myself my price point was $60, but there will probably be some sort of discount on the way to or shortly after launch day for the PC version.

I still have the first on the backlog so I’m good. I really only buy games that are special to me at full price. And 70 or even 80, they would have to be extra special.
I was just thinking aloud. If they set a price and now slashed it before launch, it clearly wasn’t worth as much - with the corpos arguing they have to up the price due to cost… this is pretty much them showing it plain anf simple it’s bullshit
