![]() Nobody's outraged or saying that we should all march on the publisher and demand they lower the price, but it's reasonable and normal to comment on it and I'm baffled why this bothers you based on the idea that eventually it will drop in price so we should never care about the prices of video games and not talk about whether or when we plan to buy them but instead just discuss.I don't know what exactly is in bounds because I don't know why price wouldn't be. Based on this thread a lot of people clearly care about the price here. ![]() The first thing you do when you see that there's a new game announced is ask yourself "Do I want to buy this?" And part of that is going to be the price. I don't know why you're bothered at all by people talking about price. That's why Sega put out everybody's least favorite Monkey Ball on next gen platforms. ![]() Publishers never put unreasonable expectations on games or make assumptions about what might sell or not based on a bad version of the product fans want. More options is always better for the consumer, if the alternative is that you'd have to buy a console to play KH, or that you'd need a functional PS2 to play Dark Alliance, then the price doesn't seem that For sure. For the older fans, the latest release provides a much-needed drink of water after a long drought. Considering that Baldurs Gate 3 sold over a million copies six days after its release on Steam, a new generation discovered its brilliance. The same goes for things like the PC port of Kingdom Hearts, who cares what is costs as long as it gets made, you always wait for the price to drop if it's too much for you. Baldurs Gate is a groundbreaking series that has its roots in the earliest days of PC gaming. If they couldn't charge $30 for it then likely it would not have been made. ![]() There are folks out there for whom the price is not an issue, let them pay for the work it takes to develop this port and let the rest of us enjoy it later. There's a lot of great games lost to time from an era where backwards compatibility didn't exist, and not so great games that regardless deserve to be remembered and made accessible. It's a port of a game that nobody knew they wanted, and if they've waited 20 years for it then surely they can wait 6 more months for a sale, and there's a good chance it'll be on Game Pass / PS Plus / Humble Bundle / Epic Store giveaway for free in about a year. Quite honestly I don't see the point of complaining about the price. ![]()
