    It’s a great game imho, but I was gifted my copy - in no world is any game worth €80, this one included, it’s completely divorced from reality to charge that much. Fucking tragic the publisher just killed it on delivery.

      Yeah, the price for new games had been fixed for a long time at €50, and then the industry decided to whack it up to €70 just as the cost of living reached even higher.

      And now they are standing around scratching their heads asking why their games failed…

      Now, I realize that the cost of living also affects companies and their staff, but come on, you don’t whack the price up by 40% in one go, you start earlier and raise it by 10-20%, let it stabilize and go from there.

      That is more in line with the inflation rate.
