I think the pricing is a lot more fluid than the exclusivity deal with EGS. They have a contract man.

Legend of Mana is on sale for $21.99 on iOS. That’s a discount price. I bought a lot of their iOS games years ago. They want you to rebuy Final Fantasy 1-5 atm for $15-$17. I paid $19.99 for a couple of them, but their price keeps going up. I honestly thought ios was a great alternative. I could play Valkyrie Profile, FFT, Chrono Trigger, and etc on the go. Now I don’t want to spend anything on mobile because I could just get it for my console for the same price. The reduced price isn’t a thing anymore for them. I paid for LoM on PS4 already. They can get someone else to spend that kinda money on the mobile port. It’s soured my taste in mobile games. Given that so many people already played this game. Telling them to pay this much, at this point in time, is ridiculous. I paid for the DLC and played the DLC already. I get it that PC players can play it, but they are asking far too much for this. They did the same thing with Kindgom Hearts. Marking games up for their fanbase on PC isn’t why a lot of people switched to PC as their primary platform.

And in the Neogaf threads for the pixel remakes posters were falling over themselves to give them money yet again for the same thing. Consumers have no willpower. 70 is now the norm.

1. I thought this update was already out.
2. I paid $20 for a launch copy by the end of 2020, why is this worth $50 more to anyone on the planet? Is it the sequel?
3. It was on PSPlus months later for free.

The price was never visible on the game page, only on the banner. Most likely a mistake and it will be 80€ whenever it shows up again.

Ultimately it's on EGS so no one will buy it anyway.

They ain’t going to reduce the price. They’re just hiding it right now.

As a wise bootylover named Yoko Taro once said.
" Shit Square Enix".
" Shit Square Enix".
Fuck...I can already see Square-Enix becoming one of the new contenders for shitiest game companies.
With that and Forsaken they are trying to push for 80€ price on PC huh? Well that a great way to make torrent popular again because there's wishful marketing thinking, dumb couch potato degenerate who don't deserve their money and will accept the price, but way more people who are aware of the inflation and will say "nope"

They gonna put it at 70 hoping that people will applaud the move.
They're asking a community they barely care about to pay full price for an episodic 2 years old remake that probably already got them a hundred million in exclusive deals alone.
FFVII is my favorite game of all time but they won't get more than a 20 from me, even if I have to wait another year.

Meanwhile, I would say indie/ AA (you call them) have risen in price close to +25-50% in the past 5 yrs. I have said when the PS4/xbox? launched how they were not charging higher, but its all just numbers. The one consistent to bear in mind, nothing, and i do mean nothing is released in a complete state except for maybe <1% of all games.

Why would they expect their second class citizens to pay $70 for a game that was released almost 2 years ago? I mean for PS it makes sense, exclusivity and all.. but this is stupid.
Remake of an old game that's like 30% of the original content, then it stays playstation exclusive for like 2 years, now it's on PC but on one platform (which people hate), and then they expect these players to pay $70 for this game. SE is really trying their luck with pc community.
No wonder I'm reading alot of people talking about dusting off their Jack Sparrow hats.

Square marketing analyst probably thought that they were giving it away at $70. Expect it to be adjusted to $80
Geez. In Japan, even the PS4 version (without DLC!) continues to retail for more than $80.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Vote with your wallets people. If this sells a lot for $80, that will become the norm. This case is extra terri-bad cause its not even a day and date release of a new game.

Wasn't one of the selling points of EGS that game prices would be lower because of lower storefront fee? What the hell happened to that?

Nah. That's bullshit and you know it. They are literally THE OWNERS of the store. If they wanted, they would force 'we don't want games at this price point in here'.

I'm sure they would do well with other publishers that way.

EGS has always favoured the publisher, all the posturing about lower storefront fees and a bigger cut of revenue was never from a customer standpoint, it was always to benefit anyone selling stuff on their store not giving consumers better value.
And fair enough there may be a conversation to be had about that but as a customer I don't give a fuck about what cut square or any other publisher get.

I'd rather pay for two years of ExpressVPN, if you know what I mean.

It’s the intergrade version no?

The PS+ version wasn't Intergrade. And if you claimed the PS+ version, you had to pay full price for Intergrade and couldn't upgrade.

This is where we see the tide changes. If PC gamers embrace this price then yeah, we are all ducked. I don’t think they will have much chance enforcing it And pc gamers will still just buy keys or wait for a sale.
