Corpo prick says “I’m considering milking making more money after fucking over thousands of employees, IPs and fans”.

Consumers say “So what else is fucking new? See you in the discount bin”.

World continues to melt into the over-manufactured cesspit the corpo pricks force it to be.

Cassette Beasts was 13 bucks on Steam the other day. Sales happen 24/7 this guy is huffing his own farts.

This headline doubles as a punchline. Neat.

I’m old enough to remember when Doom 64 for the N64 was $74.99. In today’s money that’s around $145.

I’m not saying that’s reasonable, I’m just saying it used to be a lot worse in the cartridge age.

DarkThoughts,

Back then the market was also minuscule in comparison. If you ask for 150 bucks for a game, go for it. Just don't be surprised if the sales stay low, because I can buy 5-10 other games for that money.

Absolutely.

blargerer,

I've played plenty of games that would be worth 100+ easily. The problem for a studio pricing something at that though is they need some way to sell me on the game. A demo, or like, first party Nintendo quality reputation. Something. No way I pay that as a default for a piece of shit, which most things released are.

AstridWipenaugh,

Bitch please. I ain’t buyin nothin till it’s on sale 60% off on steam.

Gork,

Who do they think they are? An AAAA publisher? Only Ubisoft has that dubious claim.
