I am on and i also see when there is a bundle or the humble choice each month, and people complain oh the price is too high or i don't like the games, with the choice you get 8 games (used to be more) for about 10 bucks, i mean come on that's a great deal. I totally agree, people are stingy these days, and with steam (40000+ games) they get overwhelmed with choices, but it's also open to young kids with a meager allowance, and well for some their growing expenses like gas, electricity, bills are causing them to have a tight budget (like f.e i am on wellfare and moving out so double "whammy"). Personally i did not had a problem with the price on Return to Monkey Island, but yeah rather more the shortness (and the annoying random card finding requiring several playthroughs). So even then you had your broad range of cheap and more expensive games. While C64 and Amiga could go for 5-10 in sales (i can't remember the NES bargain bin prices). Well it atleast felt $60-60 euro wasn't even that long ago (like 2-3 years) that it was still "normal" and even in the old console days i had 2 games (Mortal Kombat for Gameboy and Iron Sword for NES) that were over 100 gulden (but that equivalates to euro by now). Originally posted by Lugum:Sure I can wait on a sale, i probably will, i am only asking not even a tenner (20%) of as a starting sale, i don't think that's extreme to ask? Overall, no, I don't think that's unreasonable, and maybe the permanent price will get lowered after being out for a little while, or at least a good sale will occur. Return to Monkey island doesn't even cost 30, isn't that just as much as a labor of love and hard work? Sure I can wait on a sale, i probably will, i am only asking not even a tenner (20%) of as a starting sale, i don't think that's extreme to ask? That does not, however, invalidate my argument nor the price-related data I present.Ĥ0-50 used to be old AAA standard prices, what you say is a new recent fad of the last 1-2 years, especially now because ps5 games are so expensive, and they taken over on steam, adding all sorts of extra's (usually skins or soundtrack) as deluxe version, as a poor excuse to increase the price even further with another 20, heck you can even go say well there are some games that are 100.

You might need to do the same with Colossal Cave. Maybe we'll buy it in a year or two or three from now. We'd like to play that co-op (so that means getting two copies) but even with the last Winter Sale, we thought it was too expensive for us to get so we decided we'd wait. My wife and I have been waiting with a newer game called Grounded. Eventually everything goes on sale on Steam, so you might need to be patient and wait a while. You obviously disagree with that assessment, and that's fine. Most AAA games I've seen are a good $80 (for the base game if you want the versions that include season passes or extra launch-related DLC, you'll pay a lot more), so I'd say $40 is fair. Plus, this game is available for VR, in addition to normal gaming setups and is for multiple platforms.Īlso, they're not charging AAA prices here. They had to make all the models, visuals, interactions, and so on from scratch. This isn't some slapped together mess where someone haphazardly applies new textures to existing outdated 3D models, this is essentially a new game. If we adjusted for inflation, $60 in 1987 would be equivalent to $154.47 in 2023. I remember buying Sierra Online games for about $60 in 1987, so the price of $40 isn't too bad 36 years later in 2023. That does not, however, invalidate my argument nor the price-related data I present.
