Honestly I will be surprised if Deathloop does well in sales. Arkane had a reasonable success with Dishonored 1, but Dishonored 2 and Prey were commercial failures.
See, why not write something like this as your first post instead of the hyperbole you send out before.Only way we get change is by making our voices heard, look how quickly the Gold price increase was reversed, or loot boxes out of Battlefront etc.
I think it hurts the developers more. The extra profit margin is very unlikely to offset the tepid day 1 sales that are so important (and go hand in hand with the brunt of the marketing)
If it dominates the conversation just like other controversies have (I.e Cyberpunk and bugs) it's good as shitty business practices should be highlighted IMO
That's the price covered into dollars from most territories for the standard SKU. Yes Americans have to pay sales tax on top but its marginal.
There's already signs this new price structure won't take around the world. Look at Destruction all Stars for an early indicator. Games are essentially been sent out to die.
And people still think Horizon 2 and GoW 2 are releasing this year
Yep it's only PS5 Sony published games that are £10 over the highest normal UK price for a standard SKU from any other publisher. So Demon Souls, Spiderman: MM, Astros Playroom and this.
It's not just the UK, from what I've heard.
Can we just....talk about the only thing matter?
It is just so exhausting with all your exaggerations.No need to be so confrontational. I don't always have to point out why the new massive price increase is bad in every thread mealy lament that it exists both on behalf of myself and the developers who no doubt put their heart and soul into the games they make.
What you and me might pay as enthusiasts is almost beside the point we have to consider the mass market. Asking them to pay the equivalent of $95 for an unknown IP is a serious, serious ask. As I stated it's going to be incredibly hard to justify the extra margin at the expense of so many sales. The publisher/Sony /developer is setting themselves up for a uphill battle day 1 and frankly it's sad to see as the Studio does seem like a great team.
It also annoys me they obfuscate this issue but making the American markets games cheaper than the rest of the world, dividing us. But all I'd say is in the words of the Manic Street Preachers "If you tolerate this then you games will be next, will be next (will be next)".

Does ugly character like Trevor really stops you from playing GTA V?
AAA indie? that's overstretching the category.... an indie game by definition can't be AAA. Triple A means large budget by necessity. Of course, an indie game can be top quality, a game like Ori, or Hellblade for example, but they don't fall under the AAA label by any stretch.i really hope Kena is a AAA indie with 25 hours of content at the minimum to keep me till then. Or they release nexgen patches for more AAA ps4 games.
Sorry i misunderstood you in terms of the american relation. I edited the post. My bad.
I think you don't understand NeoGAF's Game rankings.
I haven't played the game yet. Just saying that repulsive looking female lead choice is baffling to me. I bet game would sell more if the main prot wasn't so not so nice looking.
Based from what it look, the protag seems to be some kind of space explorer or NASA astrnots
As I said in a different OT, Astronauts are also nerds and nerds aren't good looking or sexy.
The complete absence of PC exclusive games on this list makes it even more accurate.
Is “I just canceled my preorder” a meme or do people really get so excited about a game that they preorder months in advance and are ready to press the cancel button the exact moment their is any length of a delay?
I'll edit.
