Comment on Obsidian's The Outer Worlds 2 Underperformed, and There Won't Be a Third - IGN
Warl0k3@lemmy.world 3 days agoIt’s a great game imho, but I was gifted my copy - in no world is a game worth €80, it’s completely divorced from reality. Fucking tragic the publisher just killed it on delivery.

Yeah, the price for new games had been fixed for a long time at €50, and then the industry decided to whack it up to €70 just as the cost of living reached even higher.
And now they are standing around scratching their heads asking why their games failed…
Now, I realize that the cost of living also affects companies and their staff, but come on, you don’t whack the price up by 40% in one go, you start earlier and raise it by 10-20%, let it stabilize and go from there.
That is more in line with the inflation rate.
