    Nvidia trolled me.

    I saw on the nvidia app that I had rewards uncollected, saw it was “Doom the Dark Ages…”, I quickly collected it, and was a freaking skin haha.

  2. Affectionate-Sand-93

    wait until sales i guess… i will do that :c

  3. RankedFarting

    Be part of the change, dont buy it.

  4. sephtheripper

    Subscribe game pass, play, unsubscribe

  5. Fathat420

    If enough people don’t buy it then it will decrease. Vote with your wallet.

  6. skrukketiss69

    Ain’t no way I’m spending €80 on a single game.

  7. Kwaashie

    The best thing we could do as consumers is just not buy at these prices. You know we all got 20 games in the backlog. Play that shit and wait

  8. Desperate-Intern

    Patient gamer here. Finally bought Doom Eternal now for cheap. I guess I will buy Dark ages in a year or two.

    1. Buy Game Pass for 1 month
    2. Finish game
    3. Cancel Game Pass
    4. Purchase the game to own in the future once it’s dirt cheap on sale (if you want)

    add to wishlist and go and play a game you already have and havent played yet. Wait til it hits a price you feel justified and buy it then.

  11. Ashamed_Power

    Wait, play other games you own until steam sale on doom and trust me it will be soon. It’s not that big hit like eternal so they need money 🙂 just wait

    We were spoiled cause games were not really adjusted for inflation for like 30 years. Super Mario Bros retailed for the equivalent 150USD in 1985

  13. Streakflash

    ill just accept my defeat and watch youtube walkthrough

  14. IssacX13

    Nordvpn sub is 107 for 2 years (give or take a bit)

  15. mitrovic__markoo

    Oh that’s nothing, people who bought the disc versions (PS5 or Xbox) were met with a 85MB disc, thus having to download the entire game via internet, so some people literally paid 80$ for an empty disc.

  16. Gnome_In_The_Sauna

    what… i bought it for 700€

    also i got a free 5070 with it

  17. Opening_Persimmon_71

    Gotta love currency conversion, dollar goes up, we have to pay more, dollar goes down, have to pay even more.

  18. lynch1986

    $80 in 2000, was about $43.

    The Sims was $50 in 2000.

  19. Grazuzer

    Yeah it’s 60€ on reselling websites, it’s way too much IMO

    Even for a very, very good shooter, 60€ for about 15hours of gameplay is too much for me

  20. kegsbdry

    Waiting for a Steam sale…very patiently.

  21. IdontMindAboutU

    I’m not buying it at that price, and you should too

  22. Bananaman9020

    $110 AUS standard for new AAA games in Australia.

    Edit.

  23. Oversemper

    If you take currency inflation into account it is less than in 1990s, but games’ development is multiple times more expensive. Original Doom came out in 1993 and cost 40 bucks. I bet it is more than 80 euros nowadays but the amount of designers and coders labor to develop doom 1993 and the dark ages is incompatible.

  24. Useless-Use-Less

    You guys are buying newly released games?!

    “giveaway” “giveaway” “giveaway”

    “Buy this part = free game”

    “But any ROG product get DOOM free”

    Video games cost $80 because $40 of it is reimbursement for their attempts to sell you the product that costs $80… Free market ouroboros

  26. Ratax3s

    How they justify this when expedition 33 is 40 euros?

  27. KingOfAzmerloth

    Don’t buy it you don’t like it.

    It’s that simple. And it’s gonna be on sale for half that in a year.

  28. patricious

    Bought today, no ragrets. Doom is close to my heart.

  29. “Don’t you guys have disposable income?”

    Jokes aside, with such prices, I’ll wait for some steam sales.

  30. CrabJuice83

    Got the digital deluxe edition for €67 something through Greenmangaming. While I do agree that prices are too high, there are always alternatives on this platform.

  31. MARAMACKTHEUNHOLY

    Game pass on PC I feel like is one of the best deals in gaming right now especially considering these prices

  32. selektDark

    thank god for gamepass I guess (seriously tho gamepass has been getting BANGERS recently, Oblivion Remastered, Exhibition 33, and Doom is on there day 1)

  33. tykulton

    If you’re interested in that along with even one of Oblivion Remastered or Clair Obscur then imo gamepass is the move. I plan to sub for a few months to play all three $45ish to hopefully play all three seems good to me. Then I’ll just grab them on sale later on if I want to play them again

  34. Zhe_Wolf

    I would have been way more hyped about the game if it was 60 bucks max. So now I’ll just stick to listening to the soundtrack on Spotify

  35. Equivalent-Pea8907

    This only happens because idiots keep buying playstations

    Straight onto games pass this – same as Expedition 33.

    I couldnt imagine owning a PS5 in 2025

  36. Razz_SeriousSloth

    WW3 ahead

    Companies: I N F L A T I O N

  37. Guy_Kazama

    I’ll wait till it’s 20 bucks, easy

  38. OiItzAtlas

    Yeah £70 in the UK, that is even worse than Mario kart worlds (£66 for worlds), don’t worry it won’t change it still have a 87% positive rating and people will still buy it. Next year it will be £80 for games. The price to game is going up every year.

    I didn’t buy it but i don’t expect myself to not buy it on grey market prices where it is £52 instead if I were to buy it (I am not buying it)

    I am really afraid for what borderlands 4 will be since they have said they currently don’t have a price so I can bet it will also be the same price. I shall never spend more than £50 on a game.

  39. Euchale

    I can’t remember when I bought my last full price game, only that when I did it, 50€ was still the standard.

  40. GroundbreakingBag164

    They expect Europeans to spend $90 on a $70 game

    Microsoft can fuck right off with that

    I’m not spending 70€ on a game and I’m definitely never spending 80€ on a game
