"In any case, I think the game’s positive critical reception has helped a lot and sales of the game have been positive so far, so it’s obvious that in the end people cared more about the quality of the title rather than the price.”

Obviously not, or you wouldn't be so used to hearing about how overpriced it is. Perceived value is everything. They lose out on so many sales by pricing the game like that. Also, comparing themselves to games that are even more overpriced, but get away with it due to branding isn't helping their argument. It's hurting it.

If the substance of the games content is of sufficient scope and quality, $20 is a reasonable price. There's no reason for them to not be allowed to charge a fair price just because they stand independent of the publishers of the industry.

Now I haven't played the game so I can't comment on the game itself, I'm just pointing out what I feel is a reasonable principle for evaluating pricing for this or any game.
