Indie devs should come together and file a class action lawsuit for lost income

who's saying this is expensive for an indie game? as long as it's not 60 dollars i think it's fair.
>>
>>720255384
I'm pretty sure this was the ultimate conclusion for video games. It happened in the 90s as well when what the market reached peak saturation. It started over again with new technologies more unique games to be allowed to be made. But once again we've reached peak saturation again and I don't see a way out of it. So we'll see a few blockbusters here and there of course but nothing like we saw 5-10 years ago with many ground breaking games coming out every year.

I was going to but this game once upon a time until I found out the kid was a shota and not a loli. I only buy games with lolis.

This is a retarded argument anyway. It's not like there's an infinitely renewable supply of Silksong content, people are going to pay $20, spend a week playing Silksong, and then it's back to business as usual. Anyone not a diehard fan isn't going to spend time replaying it over and over to cannibalize the market for other games, these devs are all just grifting.

They go full jewish precisely because food is so expensive right now.
We're in a recession you retard, if you're releasing a game right now and you don't have a rabid fanbase of autists, you better price that shit accordingly, otherwise it's going to completely fucking flop now that everyone's tightening their purse strings.
>>
>>720260305
I don't know if you know this, but you can make your own burgers for $10 even with how expensive beef is, and then still have $20 for a video game that lasts longer than the 5 minutes it takes to eat your spit burger
>>
>>720260431
Or I can make my own burgers for $10 and still not buy the $20 game and instead spend the money on something cheaper.
What part of RECESSION (bordering on depression) do you not understand? Why do you think video game spending is down among young adults right now? It's because THEY DON'T HAVE ANY FUCKING MONEY.

If indie devs have to lower their prices then it shows that they knowingly were going to charge you more than what it was worth, that alone should be grounds to justifiably not purchase their game.

Based Silksong dabbing on shitty indie jews wanting to nickel and dime you like this is the AAA industry, forcing them to lower prices because if their game isn't masterpiece-tier like Silksong is, it's not worth 20 bucks.

factorio devs charge $35, are the only devs I have ever seen permanently INCREASE the price of their game and have never once put it on sale but i'm supposed to be upset some anime 3D rougelite is $20? why?

Oh shit I remember this game looked kinda neat.
I've been burned by Early Access too many times so I'm just gonna wait.

>>720264867
never pay for early access games ever unless they are a mmo or some online multiplayer game.
>>
>>720255384
I played early alpha test and closed/open beta and it was way more fun before the early access release. Heard they were dabbling in NFTs and I lost interest so I didn't buy it.

people are so stingy with vidya and costs. you can get a vidya for half a dollar and that's 1/3th the price of a candy bar that tastes like puke, and people will bitch about.

I wish this game wasn't so fucking dead, it looks great and the gameplay is good too, but getting even 3 more people to fill your team is near impossible, they must have fucked up big time with their marketing budget, should've paid that add agency that all the big streamers slave for.

If a game isn't as good as Silksong and costs 20 bucks or more, it isn't worth your money. That's the underlying message you should be taking here.

Good. They shouldn't be charging more than $20 anyway.
>b-b-but their livelihood
What the FUCK are they doing relying on a small indie project to support their livelihood? Indie games that become breakout successes are extremely rare, only an absolute moron would bank their entire financial future on a small indie game they're making. Go get a real job and only do this full time if you actually see success.

>Go get a real job and only do this full time if you actually see success.
those things are usually mutually exclusive, since the former ensures you don't have time for the latter. you basically have to retire early with fuck you money to freely make games with no pressure, but that's usually not how life works

>only an absolute moron would bank their entire financial future on a small indie game
if that's what they want to do, it's what they want to do. nothing ventured nothing gained
