I don't care what their budget is. They made a product that isn't worth the asking price for me, so I'm not going to buy it at that price. It's that simple.Do you think a 15 hour shooter is alot cheaper to produce as bloated garbage games? The alternative is less budget in shorter games, no fancy shit.
I want cheaper games as well but people want those games to be bleeding edge which doom arguably is.
You act as if they had no choice but to charge $70 for this game ($100 for the premium version) as if there's some fixed per unit cost in manufacturing this game. Obviously that's not true, and obviously the $70 price is not enough to compensate for the extremely poor sales.
Would they have made more profit by charging $50 and selling lots more copies? My guess is yes, but it's not my job to figure out their business model for them. Maybe the $70 price was part of the larger strategy to increase the perceived value of Gamepass. If so, well I hope it worked out for them but I'm still not gonna buy it for $70.
What are you going to do? Try to argue people into accepting their asking price?
