It is better than Capcom for sure, but i wouldnt call putting out ports of games that have been out for a while "effort"

They're not old games and they're recent current gen multiplatform AAA games, that is effort.

Its more than a year old, thats not effort, thats a step above doing nothing.  When they start doing actual multiplats, thats effort

Why wouldn't they? It's a new game, its got all the features and DLC, sans a level editor.

Its not a new game. It been available for 3 other systems for more than a year. It doesnt even have that much DLC and you can get the game and the DLC for way less than 60 right now. And I actually want it to do well, charging full for a port will hurt its chances a bit.

It's still a current gen. Do games like Tomb Raider or other timed exclusives release at less than full price?

I hope it does well, and also as a consumer always with it was cheaper, but I'm just being realistic. I see no reason why they would not charge full price.

It was originally released a year and five months ago, so it's hardly new. It's not very old, but it's definitely not new either. Also, it's 30€ on Steam, so 60 sounds quite high on Switch. Perhaps 60 isn't unreasonable, but there's definitely enough reasons for it to not cost that much.

30€ on Steam ?!? What a rip off. The retail version for consoles has been 10-15 € for months

Well of course all of its DLC is free since July.

That's just because retailers have a stock of a game no longer selling and thus trying to clear out space. Steam/digital has no need to clear space for newer games.

Happens with most AAA budget games. They are super front loaded and thus see huge discounts at retail not long after due to no one buying them past first couple months. You see it very big for FPS games, due to if its not the new hit fps that everyone is playing, then no one is buying it.

Sure, I'm just once more shocked at Steam for their terrible pricing outside of their Steam sales. One of the biggest reasons why I'd never want a platform to go digital only.

Could all be a marketing strategy. Be higher priced most of the year and any sales you get at that price are a bonus. Then when Steam sales come, the % knockoff makes said game look more attractive.

It's like when stores or amazon have sales. You know the "retail price" is pure BS. The product never sells at that. But they say that so that the sale looks better.

Think of Doom on steam. If on sale its $10. That looks like a huge sale. $20 cheaper, or $10 vs. $30. 66% off.

Now think it it was normally sitting on there for $15. Now at $10 its only $5 less or a 33% off.

It's all mind games. Thus why things are always .99 instead of .01 more expensive. $29.99 sounds a lot cheaper than $30.00

Well, it's 30€ on PlayStation store too. Mind you, it's been 15€ on Steam a couple of times. Also, I can't seem to be able to find the prices you mentioned with a quick search, so it would seem you're either exaggerating or that's the price in just a few stores. That said, if there's been stock clearance, it's possible the price has been that low at times.

I've never played Skyrim, or DOOM and was considering finally getting a PS4 with Wolfenstein 2. I guess i'm served now.

I'm definitively going to support bethesda with these games.

So this means I can play this game on a long traintrip? This is pretty awesome, guaranteed purchase even though I already have it on X1 🙂.
