Are pc lads serously ok with these prices? Console mongrels need not reply.

Console prices used to be higher cause it had publisher fees and that never happened on pc hell even steam is like 100 bucks on you go so no.

They aren't, and that's part of why the game is flopping

Its impressive how microsoft even while shitting itself to death manages to make gaming worse for everyone.

you have to use third party sites to get games at $60 now

no thank you.

and on consoles

paying full price instead of waiting for a sale, buying a cd key instead or just buying a month of game pass ultimate are actually crayon eaters.

Are pc lads serously ok with these prices

apparently not lol

crazy thing is if it costed 50 they would probably get more sales which would actually earn them more money

It's free on Gamepass.

they put it on Game Pass

right now I'm busy playing STALKER 2, but I plan on making new account in India via VPN getting cheap Game Pass or 3 months and play a bunch of games, like Doom, Atomfall, Avowed and idk

but what about account, achievements and ban???

Why would I care about Xbox shit lmao

who gives a shit? you prefer paying more for literally no reason?
stupid retard you deserve games with ridiculous prices

how is this any different from buying at local physical store?

h-haha yeah, prices. My wallet gets super hot you guys haha.

Almost no one buys games new on PC. We all wait for sales.

denuvo

good luck anon

if you bought a 50 series card before the nvidia promo just buy one of those keys. you can get the ultra giganigga version for ~$40
or just cheat with gamepass and then resub when they drop the dlc

over $100 just for a video game. the average house costs $1 million. should i buy the game or save for a house? i'll literally never be able to afford a house (or a wife) at this point.

if you bought a 50 series card before the nvidia promo just buy one of those keys

What are you talking about?
I did buy a 5070ti, but i ofc missed the promo

I do if it's something I've been looking forward to for a long time. Unfortunately, such thing is rare nowadays and I have zero interest in modern goyslop.

I paid 60€ for a key. 80 is just too much

the average house costs $1 million

where are you living bro

claire and oblivion for 50

release this shit for 80

What the fuck are they smoking there at microsoft?
I swear they're pulling this shit just to push more game pass subs.

this one, you redeem the key on the nvidia app and it gives you the game
ebay keys are around 40-50 but if you sniff around on game trade forums/sites you might get it cheaper

Nah, the average customers are bouncing the higher they drive the price. They'll just watch some streamfag who bought the $120 Deluxe Streamer Edition play the game instead.

yeah, sorry about not giving you that game even though you bought a 50 series, heres a skin

Haha, fuck you too nvidia

NTA but I will gladly wait years for games to go -80% on sale. By then sometimes they will even have finished it so I won't have to deal with sub 60fps performance.

there something called a "sale". also forced RTX and Denuvo so this nigger game can wait.

70 bong for a 15 hour bastardisation of a classic

when i can pick up the latest in rpgkino for 42 and easily get 5 times the hours out of it

how about no

Are pc lads serously ok with these prices?

Yes, I'll gladly pay if the game is good. However, the higher the price, the less people are going to pay. They'll pirate, or wait for a sale, or just not play your game.

the less people are going to pay

Woops. I meant to say fewer people will buy your game. People can buy other things with that money, like groceries or something, and so games are competing with things people actually need.

I've stopped buying from a few years ago. I only pirate now or if the game is exceptional I'll buy on sale. I predicted they would have to raise prices due to inflation but that doesn't mean I'm going to spend. That's their problem not mine, they've been making shit games and expecting me to pay for slop, so now they can expect piracy. I'll never buy games even at thirty quid even though inflation has destroyed that price point for most developers.

Yeah I'm fine because I never buy games at launch

I only pirate now

That's completely reasonable. In 2025, paying for a game is essentially a tip. You should only do it to tip the people who made it, and you shouldn't see it like

i must buy if i want to play

because piracy exists.

You should only do it to tip the people who made it

This normally only applies to indie games, when it comes to the rest of industry all money gets syphoned by publishers

when it comes to the rest of industry all money gets syphoned by publishers

I don't know how it works, so I just choose to believe it works like a tip. The devs would get paid, and so even if the money goes to the people who paid them, it's still fine.

i just buy cheaper keys off sites. they're gonna be better than all time lows on steam sales 9/10 times unless it's some obscure as fuck game. too many games i like have denuvo

i'll only buy a game if its a must buy, meaning its an online multiplayer game like battlefield where you must have a cd key to play on servers. and these days AAA games like battlefield have turned to shit. i actually paid full price and more for battlefield 3 and 4 back in the day. i'm never doing that again.

must buy

like [DUDEBRO SHOOTER 4 GayaaSs before GayaaSs was a THING!]

normalfag runoff.

I pay for video games myself: but I only do it to support the devs and not because I think le copying games is bad. Even if my purchase is +1 to some number that they check to see how their game is doing, I'm glad.
I just hope the industry knows that high prices means people will become more selective. Apparently the new Doom is a flop, and it's because nobody buys every game that comes out anymore. Even if I can afford it, I'm not going to buy your shit. People can only play one game a time. I'll buy something and play it for a month, and then every other game in existence will be competing for your attention. That's what gaming is like now.

"must buy" meaning you must have a license key to play on multiplayer servers, not as in something consumers really want to buy.

My bad, blew a three-tisty.

Apparently the new Doom is a flop

Doubt it. Even if it is, they can always use game pass as a metric of success, even though it means fuck all

They cant take this one away from you and you can sell it once you're done.
Pc is a joke now

Exactly. These companies still don’t get it — they think cranking the price up to $120 and adding “exclusive streamer cosmetics” or access 3 days early actually adds value. But most normalfags aren’t gonna cough that up, they’ll just tab over to Twitch, get the whole experience streamed to them in 1440p, and move on. Games stopped feeling like something you buy to enjoy and became something you rent to spectate.

No, I'm not buying that game for the price they're asking.

when's the crack?

game is not on the CD anon, it's just a download code

get the game on Gamepass

it runs like shit

inb4 just get a better PC

I refuse to play such unoptimized garbage.

dark ages has a very capemovie vibe to it. what was the problem with just being a marine and killing demons without the need for a story.

Less people buy it but they make more profit. It's a win for them and a loss for us.

It's a win for them and a loss for us.

Wait, what did you lose? You only lose if you paid, and even then, it's not a loss if you like the game.

It's like $40 in china. Get your chink friend to make an account and buy it for you or from 3rd party chink sellers?

Scummy thing is, is that its £70 in the uk whilst in the US is $70 aswell so bongs are paying more for no reason. Not sure if euros are paying more too

Games used to be 50 and I got them for 30 at key sites. When the base price increases, so does the discounted price.

Euro to dollar is almost 1:1 so yes, we are paying more.
That remains to be seen

I'm losing getting good prices for my hobby.

This. While the changes they made look retarded, this normally wouldn't scare off the swarm of normalfags that drive hueg sales numbers. You know what will? Suddenly hiking your price up 33%.

If price is the only thing that matters, then play something that doesn't cost money. Otherwise, I think $1 = 1 hour is very reasonable.

I'm not a turd worlder. I wont feel an extra $10 per game.

Doom is 20 hours tops with no multiplayer, so it's 3.5 dollars an hour in the best case scenario.

A 100 hour game filled with bloat is shit. I'd rather have a 20 hour game that is good. $1 = 1 hour is stupid in the current year.

No one gives a shit what a console peasant thinks

Doom is 20 hours tops with no multiplayer, so it's 3.5 dollars an hour in the best case scenario.

It's a good thing I didn't buy Doom, then. Even if it was good, I wouldn't be happy with that amount of content. The game ends and then what do you do? Back to browsing Anon Babble? That's why games should be longer or they're a rip off.

To this day I don't know why they put LC as the banner frontrunner. She isn't even that popular.
If you need a colored chick just put Drow

The game ends and then what do you do?

You go live your life

Probably because she was new at the time and they never bothered updating it?

the cool thing about buying a game and being able to play it on a quality of life pc is that you don't have to cope about the price afterwards

To this day I don't know why they put LC as the banner frontrunner. She isn't even that popular.

That's where you're wrong. She's not popular at a pro level, but I've seen her plenty in pubs. She gets stronger when she kills people, and that means she's really frustrating to play against if your team isn't good. If they are good, the hero looks like total shit (because she can give you damage on death). Just thought I'd clear that up, from someone who spent their lives playing Dota and saw lots of LC. She's unpopular now because people are better at the game.

Oh, and I think the most important change to Dota 2 that killed LC's popularity was the BKB change. There was a time when you couldn't stun someone through BKB. Now? Lots of ultimates go through BKB. If I'm playing Primal, and enemy LC duels my teammate, that piece of shit is going to get slammed. It didn't always work like that.

Sony trying to sell me an over 1 year old port in its complete form for 90€ which is like $105

No I'm not okay with current prices and my friends aren't either despite being from the "wealthy" part of Europe with decent jobs and income. $105 for a fucking digital lazy port with a few extra costumes and a dlc that should have been included at release.
No wonder it's all f2p and mobile games racking in the money these days, the psychological barrier of entry of having to pay over a hundred for something not even that good is real.
Meanwhile Expedition 33 and Oblivion remaster who sold at "normal" prices were rather succesful.

No wonder it's all f2p and mobile games racking in the money these days

people hate on gachas but most gachas you can play and finish without paying a dime

no which is why no one's playing it
like is there anyone that's actually just foaming at the mouth crazy for more nuDoom that would pay this to play it right now? I think it looks decent, but it should literally be HALF this price. Most people seem to be saying they're gonna wait for a sale

Looking at player count they sure aren't.

That shit is even worse, not only is the price and denuvo a joke, it comes with psn cancer

"you have to go to the green thing so you can reflect it back, then make the enemies shiney then go to them and press a button"

useless video gamey mechanics, the game would be much funner without. its like theyre training children to obey traffic lights or something. its like i'm not playing the game but the game is playing me.

why cant i just shoot the enemies to death. im not paying to put myself through traffic light class.

Switch 2 hasn't launched yet all the games are already $80

speaking of skins

its like theyre training children to obey traffic lights or something

That's how I feel about Clair Obscur, but Anon Babble won't shut up about that game. The quick time events feels like the game is training you to do what they want. Why can't I just pick an attack and watch it happen? I have to muscle memory all this shit during a fight to take less damage and deal more damage. What the fuck? That flavour of the month shit will be forgotten and never mentioned again.

The PC gaming market is unsustainable. All indie devs focusing on PC go bankrupt after two games, and AAA studios can't recoup the costs back. The switch 2 will be the only survivor of the 2020s videogame crash. Gaben will be seen begging in the streets for nintenchads to give him some spare change.

and that's why PC support is rapidly dying.
