First the game looks great and looks like a lot of work went into it. The reviews coming in are giving it decent ratings which is also good. But come on! Charging AAA prices for a studios first game is absolutely insane! Everything is getting more expensive and this is used as a convenient excuse to charge more for video games.

One of the key things I believe they're overlooking is sure you got amazing graphics and such, but if people can't afford the RAM or GPU to be able to see all of this then what's the point of charging that kind of price?

The base game is $94cdn the same price as Resident Evil Requiem any the difference in devs is night and day. Crimson Desert is $30 LESS and the amount of content in CD is staggering for the price.

Is it just me or are they trying to price us out of gaming? I can't see this game moving a lot of copies just because of the price point alone.

What are your guys thoughts on these recent price changes to new titles? Or am I just the Abe Simpson meme of the old man yelling at the clouds?

My new game MineMergeMatic has now a demo on Steam! Go check it out and share your feedbacks! Leave a wishlist if you liked it. It helps a lot!

Mine, merge, and automate! Combine ores into valuable resources, build compact production chains, unlock powerful machinery, and expand your cave into a bustling mining factory.

Absolute peak (for those who played Ace Combat, especially if you've played AC: Infinity)
