It’s $120 in Australia, even at 50% off it’s still more than I’d ever spend on a game. Just gonna keep waiting

Yeah we pay an 80% markup just for existing and I hate it, but the gaming industry has been dropping quality while simultaneously increasing prices for some time now.

The only games in the last couple years I've paid full price for are CP2077, BG3 and Battlebit. Everything else is bought during the sales, usually at a steep discount, where many of these games should be priced by default.

Fuckin corpo dogs, they'll ruin anything and everything they can to make a buck.
