I once paid $140 (just pre-pandemic inflation) for a meal with two drinks at a fancy restaurant for a friend's bachelor party. It was delicious. At the same time, I realized that no one meal, no matter how good, was worth that price. I don't know what the threshold is for how much I'll pay for a single video game, but $80 is more palatable to me when the game asking for it isn't Mario Kart.

They'll probably start it at $80 and be prepared to drop it down if sales are lower than expected. So gamers can tell them that the $80 price point is not ok by being patient and holding off on the purchase.
They'll still have plenty of people buy it for that shit price if only because they'll give it free to a bunch of streamers and fomo will get the viewers.
Have any large developers ever made small high quality games? Or is that just not sustainable? I suppose the games would have to be repayable.
No thanks.
Ok…… then do borderlands 1. That’s fine.
I've never spent more than $20 on a game 😂 like ever 😂 CEOs be crazy.
I've paid money like that when I could see the effort and love thwt went into the game. I kinda saw that in BL2, but nothing in the series since comes even close.
But are getting argyle gun skins?
I'll wait for my girl to gift me the game 😍
She is fit 😏
