Exactly. They were probably sub 50k
The Outer Worlds 2 price reduces to $70, pre-orders reimbursed, Microsoft commits to $70 pricing for holiday games
- Thread starter LakeOf9
- Start date

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
GG Phil.
Let's keep games to $70 for next year as well.

With the number flops these guys are racking up, i'd be carefull poking fun at anyone.Obsidian poking fun at Microsoft
Papa satya needs his funds for the next round of the AI budget, and xbox is the target.

I'll wait until it's free on Epic Store. That's the max I can pay.

They have no idea wtf they're doing. The state of all their games isn't a surprise. If your goal was to push everyone to gp by increasing prices of games to a ridiculous amount, you have to stick to it, you can't just abandon ship before the first game is even released. People that take these decisions are so fucking stupid that MS might as well put Chatgpt in charge of the Xbox division.

It has skyrocketed to the #88 most wishlisted game on Steam after this announcement.
Edit: and #1473 top seller! Suck it Elon

If he always did that, it wouldn't have been $80 in the first place.GG Phil.

Microsoft learning quickly that they don't have the cultural pull of a Nintendo title.
Or even a 2006-2009 360 title.

"How are preorders looking?"
"We are almost at double digits sir!"
Yup. There are some publishers and franchises that can absolutely get away with it (Nintendo, COD, GTA next year, etc).
But a lot of publishers are going to find out they aren't, in fact, on the same tier as COD and Nintendo.

Yeah, going off the first one this is a $60 title, at best. Unless its going to be a 95 banger, which it obviously isn't or they wouldn't have dropped the price.
Quality doesn't even matter. Outer Worlds is a smaller scale game. Not dissimilar to expedition 33, a true banger that costs.. 50.

I gave up on the first game pretty early on but wasn't the plot all about how corporations are evil and greedy? What were they thinking.

$70 for a code in a box. Put it on a disc and I'll reconsider.
I did the same for Alan Wake 2 and maybe soon for Hellblade 2.

Gamepass and not actual sales, but #88 in wishlist on steam, that's pretty dire. Reviews will have to hit hard to change the perspectives
Gamepass titles such as :
Fable with non existent gameplay is #38
Grounded 2 from same studio #60.
Even more obscure new franchise clockwork revolution is #75.
Outside gamepass,
Vampire masquerade bloodlines 2 even with development hell is #15
They have to get really shockingly positive reviews to change things around on steam. I don't expect suddenly to surpass games that are not on gamepass but even amongst gamepass peers it is quite low.

Vote with your wallets folks.
It can work. Just need to be persistent. Every company faced with headwinds will try to ride it out a bit waiting for more data points as they arent going to do a 180 two days later. But it gets to a point if it's that bad, they'll change.

To be fair, that happened way before the game went into development hell and got rebooted.
The first Outer Worlds was mid at best. Not surprised to see a lack of interest in the sequel.

Exactly. People seem to maybe be starting to realize that the consumer ultimately has control. When enough speak up by voting with the wallet then companies will listen. Imagine where we'd be now if people had spoken up further back on certain things that the industry does now. Maybe we wouldn't have gotten to this point.

Second game in a roll that price cuts before release out of fear of backlash. Borderlands 4 being the first one.
Still, I won't getting both until they go $40 or less. People need to understand that they can vote with the wallets and make a change if many adhere to that idea.

So in other words, your pre-order numbers came under projection so you thought you'd do us a solid and drop the price.

i think it's still too high and i liked the Outer Worlds 1 and i'm looking forward to the second game, seeing as i don't mod the Outer Worlds, and i'm not sure it is that replayable i think Game pass seems a better more value for money option, it will be given away for free at some point anyway by Amazon or Epic etc.
Pre Orders can't be that high also for this to happen.

Quality is all that matters to me. I'll pay more for a great game regardless of size. I didn't dig Exp33 as much as some but I don't think anyone would have batted an eye lid at a regular $60 price for that game. I bet the inevitable sequel doesn't come in at a budget price.

And with that Phil gets more depressed remembering what would be his "big moment" if he were manage to buy Nintendo.

The person, or persons, who decided to go with the $80 pricetag to start with need to be out of a job.

Gamers might succeed in bringing xbox first party games to $50 day 1.
Exp 33, Oblivion, tons of other games did great at lower price points.

Still never quite understood the praise the game got. I thought it was fine, but I never knew anyone IRL that loved it, and the "praise" felt like it was few and far between from what I gathered. I was pretty surprised when they talked about the first game's sales and then announced the sequel.
