I’ve got 110-130 dollars that says people will buy it anyway and the publisher will make a fortune.
This is Ubi so its essentially pay what you want.
They will milk the day 1 sales as much as they can and then have a fire sale a few weeks later.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage Master Assassin Edition launched 14-nov-2023 and had discounts of 30% off on 14-dec-2023.
Your visions of the coming future are odd.
Sadly, this is the smart bet.
Price segmentation at its finest.
It really just means I’ll wait until the ultimate edition is 70% off or the base game ends up in humble monthly/gamepass/PS+.
If the good version of the game isn’t priced reasonably then we have other options for our time and attention.
This is what I have been doing the last few years: you get a full fledged, bugs free game for €20. And it is not like there are a shortage of games to be played in the meantime.
See you on the discount rack
I’m not paying $130 for a game unless it comes with an actual lightsaber.
What a stupid price. My guess is that it will be discounted very shortly after the release as no one is paying that much money
I hate to say it but I guarantee it will sell over 100k copies on launch with those prices.
Well, I did pay $70 for Shadow of the Beast for the Amiga in 1987, which nets out to $160 today, but in my defence it was the special edition that came with a cool T-shirt and a Roger Dean poster.
I’d be less annoyed with this if it also came with a cool T-shirt and poster.
