I won’t consider a game that’s more than $60 and I won’t even touch a discounted one if they have battle passes

Of course they are.

Fuck Embracer group and the whole corporate side of gaming.

Okay real talk. It is okay to talk about adjusting the pricing for games that last you dozens or even hundreds of hours. We all know some games really are worth more than what they are asking.
But in what universe would anyone buy a 100 dollar or more new release, when stuff like the Witcher 3 and Baldurs Gate 3 are readily available for much cheaper.
That is the big struggle in the market. Every big release not only has to compete with other new releases, but also with the entire existing catalogue of games, most of which are available for much cheaper.

It’s not like games are releasing in a much better state so I’m used to waiting a year before buying a game. I’ll continue to do this until the price gets to a point I’m good paying.

This is why I use GameFly since most games have a low replay rate and most stories are like 20hrs max

Good luck with that

Know what games are way below $70 and worth a lot of enjoyment? Indies.
The triple-A industry has been in a constant race to the bottom (save some exceptions), while indies keep rising to the top, so whatever, do what you want Embracer.

Seriously, I am tired of the gaming industry, don’t get me wrong, I love experiencing new games and stories and all that, but all the time you get that games should cost more and in return we get broken unfinished predatory messes of “games” that are filled with MTXs and shit. Embraced can go shove it for all I care.

People use the hours playability vs cost all the time and while it’s a good measure in a lot of ways it is flawed. Games nowadays release with so many bugs, broken issues and lies that sometimes it just isn’t worth the purchase price and a lot of the time you can’t get a refund.
As the end consumer we literally hold all the power but never band together to demand a better all round experience, we just put up with so much crap and throw our money at them.
If someone raises a price that isn’t acceptable for whatever reason, simply don’t buy it. They will either fix that problem or go out of business, and considering what the industry is worth I can whole heartily say which way I think they will swing.

Oh well. More money for indie games I guess.

Never buy games for full price just wait till they drop spending 60 or 70 bucks on a game just isn’t worth it, especially with games from crap companies like this

Good for them. Hope no one is foolish enough to buy in, and lessons get learnt all around.

I dont think there is an Embracer game even worth $60
Do it.
Game prices rising would make sense if they didn’t shove microtransactions, dlc ,battle passes, early access, skins etc in our faces.
They can raise them as high as they want, I’m still going to wait for sales to bring them down to a price I’m willing to pay.
Gamers consider raising black flag.
What a coincidence, I have been considering not buying their games.
Next up, Embracer Group considers bankruptcy.
i already have trouble justifying buying games above 60-70$ CAD, that wont change anything for me lmao
For their shit mid tier games? :d
Maybe don’t spend $2 billion buying up game studios until the deal is made and you actually have the money.
Who?
I’ll still wait for a sale 😈
Embracer killed off Deus Ex, never forget.
As PC gamers do any of us really pay full retail for games? No. No we don’t.
They can do what they want, I’m still going to buy the game a year or two later for less than half the price and have a better experience than launch.
They can raise prices, but we will raise our flags higher
