>“Hollow Knight kind of annoyed me,” Curran said. “I was like, “Oh, guys, please price it higher. $24.99 would have made like a big difference to a lot of studios that have similar games’.”>“There is actually quite a lot of downward pricing pressure.”
20 bucks for a game and no microtransactions?? Someone think of the shareholders. This is insanity!
did those studios try not having 50+ people working on their small game?
>>750183745Sucks to suck.
Unironically silksong is why my friend still hasnt bought belmonts curse lmao
>>750183745If your game is similar then why cant you afford to sell it at a similar price? I doubt they are selling at a loss.

>>750183745this industry is so fuckednobody gives two shits about the customerburn california to the ground
git gud
>>750184221Margaret Thatcher mindset
>>750183745wow its almost like garbage games were overpriced to begin with, just to get the suckers who'll buy it anyways. there's a correlation between game prices going up and game quality going down with few exceptions.
BUT SILKSONG IS LITERALLY A MEME GAME CASH GRAB THAT INSISTS UPON ITSELF>LE EPIC HORNETALSO ITS A COPY OF ANOTHER GAME, WHICH IS ENTIRELY SOULLESS (AKA DARK SOULS) WHILE LITERALLY BEING AN -INTENDED- COPY OF THEIR PREVIOUS GAMEI COULD PROBABLY TACK MORE ON BUT...
>>750184437Boss baby vibes, etc
>>750184278it’s ok, with AI reverse engineering and vibeslopped plagiarism no one in the future is going to make games
>>750184497HOW MANY YEARS ON 4CHAN YOU GOT?
>>750183745If the game is good, people will pay high prices for itonly talentless hacks complain about "pricing pressure"
>>750184437>>750184559Hi karkat

Valor Mortis is cool but its also very obvious ue5slop and only worth $30 USD at most.
Game devs are so greedy and lazy nowadays
>>750183745considering how long people had to wait for silksong i feel like if they charged anything higher people would be pissed
They could just make a game that's worth their higher asking price.It's like admitting his game isn't even worth 20 bucks but he needs a contemporary to justify asking it anyway. I don't think anybody minds valor mortis being 40 bucks because soulslike fans are retarded anyway.
>>750183745good, rent free
>>750183745FUCKKKK QUICK TEAM CHERRY MAKE THE DLC 39.99 BEFORE ITS TOO LATE
>>750183745sounds like someone needs to publicly execute this faggot while livestreaming it
>>750183745Just make better game than silksong, people will buy it for 30 or 40$
>>750184970They put in the work for a $5 game, shit out a $2 game, and then expect $25 for their game, then it's found to actually be a $0 game because of the woke agitprop they snuck in and deliberately hid from all marketing.Total indie death.

>>750183745how? they literally did nothing?

>>750183745I'm using my one wish I got for saving a wizard's life to make GTA6 inexplicably release at 25 dollars and see how that effects the gaming industry.
>>750183745Why would it be pricier? It's just Mario gameplay as drawn 2d slop.
>>750183745>consent meme>isnt there someone you forgot to ask
Silksong being $20 doesn't prove games are overpriced. It proves gamers have become entitled little shits who think they're owed hundreds of hours of entertainment for the price of a nice burger.SilkSong is hurting other devs; Seven years of development, ridiculous amounts of content, all for $20.And instead of being grateful, gamers now expect EVERY developer to do the same.What a fucking joke...Not every studio can afford to sell games that cheaply. Devs have salaries to pay, investors to satisfy, and millions of dollars at risk.But apparently that's too complicated for gamers whose entire understanding of economics is "CHEAP GAYM GOOD, PRICEY GAYM BAD."$80 games, $100 editions, paid DLC, and microtransactions exist because companies are trying to make money.They're businesses, not fucking charities.If people are willing to pay $100, why the hell should a company charge $20 just to make some broke /v/aggots happy?And the hypocrisy is hilarious.Gamers LOVE capitalism when it gets them cheaper games, but suddenly cry about corporate greed when companies charge what people are willing to pay.You don't get to celebrate the free market only when it benefits your cheap ass.Silksong isn't proof that every game should cost $20. It's proof that one developer chose to charge $20.You aren't owed cheap games. You aren't owed free DLC. And your refusal to pay $80 doesn't make a game overpriced.It just means you're too cheap to buy it.> TLDR: Games aren't a human right. Developers don't owe you fucking shit. Stop confusing your entitlement with economics.
>>750184795Well, thanks for naming yourself lol
>>750183745They keep picking this tweeter and making a big deal out of it. i follow a lots of accounts and a guy made just a dumb post but suddenly people where making video essays about him. nigga doesnt even have 1k followers and the said video had 38k views. i fear they will use that to weaponize all kinds of agenda
>>750189880Fuck game developers. Price all of them out of existence until it's only passionate independents.
>>750183745even 20$ is too much. all games should cost 9,99$ max
lmao get fucked indiecucks Everyone here in Adelaide has been trying to make another Hollow Knight for years, results are gay shovelware through government grants and they want to charge 50 dollaridoos for it
>>750183745>Buying 10 games for 20€ eachThis is fine>Buying a single game for 70€Hell no.
It's funny how everything about Silksong was so performative and full of itself. And then everyone forgot the game in a month.
>>750189880Make a good game and the price won't matter, but yeah if you're just gonna churn out a metroidvania deckbuilding roguelike for $40 don't throw a fit when my eyes glaze over
>>750189880You can do whatever you want and so can others so I don't get what you are butthurt about.I also didn't read you post as you are clearly stupid
>>750191326>entire Australian video games industry mogged by one (1) indie developer from AdelaideKnow thy place, East Coast cucks.
>>750189880In fact I buy i big game about once every 5 years, I love Rockstar, so i bought the big fuck you edition because I do that with every Rockstar release. I can't wait for ubisoft to want a slice of that and just get absolutely fucked thinking they can charge $80 for assassins creed or a farcry reskin
>>750183745>this pisses me off because it teaches goyims that good games can be low priced and now i can't overprice my slopconsidering this is like the 10th article about this, this fucking industry can't die soon enough tbqhwyf
>>750191326Source? Surely there are other aussie games to cover?Like the Untitled Goose Game/Big Walk devs? Or like Schedule 1.
>>750187461It still is free.https://studiopixel.sakura.ne.jp/archives/index.html
>>750189880>Silksong is hurting other devsYour entire shitpost might've had a point if it didn't include this tidbit. Simple economics, if Silksong is making people realize they aren't willing to pay what other devs are charging then other devs should accommodate for that or die. They are not entitled to my money.
$20 was more than it was worth
>>750183745Other devs are not your friends,.they are competition. If you can fuck them over, you should .
>>750183745>waaah we cant make money off our piece of shit and it’s all the fault of a better more popular game!!!fuuuck off. nobody cares.
>>750184795>doesnt know Karkathow new?
>>750183745and consultants annoy meseems like a fair trade, parasitic cunt
>>750191625https://www.sagameexhibition.com/Saddest counts you'll ever see
>>750183745Why are so many indie devs so fucking entitled?
>>750189880So? Price your game at what you think it's worth and let the free and open market decide. You DO support a consumer's right to make informed decisions and choose for themselves what to spend their money on, right?premium bait btw
The problem isn't the price, the problem is pic relatedYour game that was bought by 3 people wouldn't have made you rich if you priced it $5 higher
>>750194265They think that any and all indie games are inherently great quality and fancy themselves auteurs
