Well, I don't think this game is going to be $60. anyway.That's possibly the worst justification for not buying a game at a certain price point I have ever seen.
How did it seem that way?
What other indie games have Sony-backed marketing on this scaleI mean, what other small indie teams sell their games for $60? It's not exactly a common thing.
Won't pay $60 for a digital game. Offer a physical version and I'd be glad to buy it.
This never seemed like a $60 game to me and I certainly won't pay that much for it
It's for all intents and purposes an indie game made by a small team, I don't see why it should be priced like AAA retail
Sounds like something I'd read in 2006.
That's how I feel too. Struck me as a cool $40 PC title but Sony pumped it up. No way I'm paying $60 for it on PC. I'd hesitate at $50 based on what has been shown to be honest. I think a $60 price point stands to hurt it actually.I wasn't expect $60 at first, but once it became apparent that Sony had sorta scooped them up under their wing and seemingly pumped a little bit of money into them, I knew it was going to be $60.
NMS is digital only?

So games should be priced according to their team size and budget, and not due to their content or quality?!

That's business, and I think Hello Games know it too, I think they'd be much happier selling a couple million copies at $30 than what they'll sell at $60.

Your reasoning for not buying the game at $60 is pretty stupid though. The size of a team does not have any say on the game's price point.

I can't imagine why anyone would think a game this big would not be $60. Weird.
Again since we don't know the price I can't say but, I could maybe see it being that.
Yeah I am in that camp too. At the moment I think "Minimum is $40 but, I won't be surprised if it actually is $60."
Not to mention that placeholder has been there for months, and has been posted dozens of times.Given that the game still has:
No confirmed release date
No confirmed digital only/physical release
Clearly the price on Amazon is a placeholder
Why is it suddenly worth all the discord? This thread is literally arguing about a hypothetical, and it's weird.
Sounds like something I'd read in 2006.
For some reason I always thought it was going to be a retail game leaf o3o
Lots of MBAs in this thread. Impressive.
That isn't my reason for not buying the game. The size of the team does directly relate to the games budget, and the amount spent on the game, directly relates to how much they need to sell it for to make money. If that number has increased due to Sony taking the game under their wing, that is fair enough.
I'm not saying it *should* be this way, but it's the way it is. The Order is a 6 hour game, sold at 60 dollars because of what it is, and No Man's Sky is still an indie game made by a team of less than 10 people.
Everyone just loves how big this game is going to be. Now it shows up with a $60 price tag and people are complaining.
Yea, this. Don't understand why this being $60 is unacceptable when we've had some things released for $60 that were quite questionable.
"PS4 version"?I can't see myself preordering a game that I know so little about.
Especially with the rumors of the PS4 version having serious issues![]()
"PS4 version"?
Have games ever been priced relative to their quality? Like through some formula including metacritic scores or what? Since NMS has "infinite content" due to procedual generation I guess it could be priced infinity dollars. Just like Minecraft.
Of course budget should be a deciding factor. Team size itself doesn't really matter, but in general a smaller team can't accomplish as much as a bigger one. It's an indication of what you can expect from a game and what I'm willing to pay for it. It's one factor out of many.
Take it to the extreme. Should a game made by one person in a year be sold for $60?
There's a huge marketing budget behind NMS, which will probably be something that hikes the price quite a bit and I'd be fine if it had less.
Yes? Why wouldn't I?
A lot of factors go into people's perception of value.
Why do you think sales exist? Because people value things differently.
So far what I've seen and read of NMS doesn't say $60 to me.
Not sure anyone wants/cares right now since no reviews are out but I saw this new on Amazon

Also When the hell did this become a 60$ game?

My thoughts exactly.
Thought this was a downloadable only game at first for at most $30. Will wait it out now, it looks alright but nothing I would pay $60 for.
$60? I thought this was an indie game, $30 at best. Well, it does look awesome, but don't know if I want to pay full price for that.
Didn't really expect this to be a $60 title either. If anything it seemed more like $30 or $40.
I guess lack of traditional multiplayer and/or a story with characters to interact with or connect to made me think of it as a $30-$40 title.
Uuuh I thought this was an indie 20 bucls game too
Fuck me.Damn 60 hope that is placeholder as I don't see myself paying that much for the game. Can always get it at a later date though.
