To those who say Octopath is not worth 60 dollars...

Divinity Original Sin 2 on console ($60)

Pillars of Eternity 2 on console ($60)

Neither of them will have close to the demand or sales of Octopath Traveler as they're both niche PC-centric titles, so it'd make sense for them to be cheaper or drop in price faster.

They both cost less on steam. 

Niche? DOS2 had close to 2 million sales on steam last year. They aren't niche games. 

They are not niche, and they are priced that way because that is what the market expects. I disagree with the console ports costing more, but imo that is a result of console gamers bending to publishers. Which is what people are doing in this thread. 

The console prices of those games are just fine considering that you get a physical copy. IMO all digital-only AAA steam games should launch at $45. And they should be heavily discounted down to $20 by the 2nd Anniversary of release.
