    Maybe don’t charge $145 for a digital product. Maybe charge $50, and sell it to 5x the people. It quite literally costs nothing (okay, pedantically, the tiniest fraction) to sell more units.

    I’d play an okay Star Wars game for $50 day 1. Wouldn’t you?

    And then when it goes on sale, loads of people would pay $20 on a 60% sale price next year. Whose paying $60 at a 60% off sale for a year old okay Star Wars game? No one. Not one soul.

    Oh, you can get it cheaper for subscribing to Ubisoft+. Fuck off with that bullshit, do you even hear yourself?

        Yup, and I’ll wait for it be 20 bucks or less on steam, unless it’s like the last one which could have been a dlc for the one before it. If that’s the case, I’ll pass since I didn’t make it half way through the last one because it was boring.

          Well for what it’s worth, I’m really liking it a lot. It may be fast food gaming, but I think I’d at least compare this one more to Shake Shack than McDonald’s. It’s surprisingly thoughtful in it’s details.

      Ok, I’ll prob get roasted for this but hear me out.

      I think Ubisoft+ is great. I can get the whatever $500 mega platinum edition for like $15 if I can beat it that month. Or even if I take 2 months to beat it, I’ve only spent $30 which is less then a base game. Then you unsub and wait for the next game you’re interested in.

        Not gonna roast you or downvote you, as that does seem to be a use case. Just not one that would work for me, since I replay games frequently.

        Honestly the last Ubisoft title I think I played was AC: Black Flag, and that was cause, pirates.

          You must’ve been super excited about the AAAA spin-off where they removed boarding.
