I'll pay the extra 10 bucks, but devs gotta cut that dlc bs. Stuff like MHW Iceworld (forgot the name lol) or Witcher 3 dlc is fine. Otherwise I want a complete game. There is no way they'd ever cut DLC/Microtransactions. They make way too much for what is essentially nothing in a lot of cases. --- Without this nobody reads the last line of a post Look at all these slave masters posing on your dollar <cite>ThunderTrain posted [p:941590942] in Publishers...

It used to be fair & reasonable for shipping costs, but then when everything went digital... we're still paying $100 for basic games and $135 ($94USD) for deluxe editions --- Last night, what we talked about, it made so much sense But now the haze has ascended, it don't make no sense anymore <cite>TreyFlowers posted [p:941590960] in Publishers...

It used to be fair & reasonable for shipping costs, but then when everything went digital... we're still paying $100 for basic games and $135 ($94USD) for deluxe editions I don't think they've ever changed it. Dollar is good? $99. Dollar is bad? $99 Luckily stores like JB Hi-Fi, Big W, Target, Amazon etc. are all competitive with physical games. To the point where I can often find new releases for cheaper than the US. I guess this price change might change that. We just have a weird market I think. But yeah these prices are awful for digital. Digital only consoles will probably bomb here. Then again EB Games is still popular so who knows. --- Kind Regards, Darmik <cite>Darmik posted [p:941591135] in Publishers...
