The price is a joke. It's a three year old game that sells for $20 new. How the fuck is the Digital-Only PC version not $15?
I'm so torn on the lack of exclusivity for Sony games. On one hand Sony's hardware doesn't last anymore. My original PS4 broke three times before I upgraded to the Pro. Worst of all they don't offer anything past a one year warranty in the states. I'd much rather just have my PC than deal with their shoddy hardware. At least I can easily fix my rig if something goes wrong with it. On the other hand Sony's bread and butter is platform royalty fees. If they make their games no longer exclusive they are basically digging their own grave.
I suspect that they'll continue to replicate the HZD model of " three year timed exclusivity", followed by a price gouging PC release. If they are going to release on PC they need to do it day and date (like MS), massively discounted three years later, or not at all.
The way they are handling it now is a massive middle finger to PS4 users, and a massive middle finger to PC users as well. |
For PC it is a new game, just as a lot of late ports on Switch released full price.

-_- A lot of those late Switch ports are rip offs too. The only exception is first party Nintendo games, but that's because Nintendo games hold their value so well, that if you buy physical it's worth it. People can't really complain about first party titles like Mario Kart 8 still being $50-$60 when used prices for the game hover around $50.
Horizon being $50 on PC, while it sells for $10 (https://www.pricecharting.com/game/playstation-4/horizon-zero-dawn-complete-edition) used on PS4 is just further evidence of how damaging the lack of a used games market can be to fair prices.
