Between that and the crunch comment, it feels weird to see how a well received game can be kind of sabotaged by its own CEO. Like, just shut up man, you don't need to go out and say these things. |
The annoying part is that he isn't necessarily even wrong, he has a great point possibly worth discussing... But he's making a game that's likely to have microtransactios eventually, so he automatically gets much less leeway in this discussion. If a game has microtransactions/DLC, it should already have much less pressure for a higher base game price, and the more microtransactions/DLC there are, the harder it is to justify a higher base game price. Conversely, if you only release the game and don't release any paid extra content for it, I don't think it's a surprise that there should be some pressure to have a higher base game price. Is a higher price guaranteed even then? I don't know, but that to me seems like a much more worthy discussion than if their paid extra content.
