You wait until they're cheaper before purchasing. It doesn't need to reach a magic pricepoint to become worth playing, it just wasn't very good and wouldn't be economically sound. |
I disagree. I've been saying for absolutely ages that games need tiered pricing systems.
Like the example I raised, Ridge Racer is not a £40 game. Not even close to it. If I'd paid that amount of money at launch, I'd feel royally pissed off.
When I picked it up for £10 with a gold pass + paid £3 to download the silver pass, I felt like I was getting a good deal. There was a decent amount of content; a decent amount of cars & some good music. That was a price point I was happy picking up the game for. Reviews reflected this. They slated the game for being a full price release with 3 tracks but noted that a cheaper price point + the promised DLC tracks would make it a better game.
Had Namco released it as a £10 title with 2 DLC tracks to come then I'd imagine it would've reviewed a whole lot better.
