Factorio would cost me $370

DrDickHandler, rok temu

I bought it for my friends because I felt bad having only payed 20$ to the devs for thousands of hours of content.

Don’t talk to Dota 2, counterstrike, valorant or league of legends players.

Inb4 anyone mentions the hundreds of other game I didn’t mention.

Hey, what about the hundreds of other games you didn’t mention?

Take 2 is playing a dangerous game betting the farm on a single property and then trying to come up with new ways to milk it. When it falls out of favor it is going to sink them.

It’s worked fine for blizzard and wow for the past 10+ years even though is a hollow shell of what it used to be.

By that logic, imagine how much a soccer ball will cost!

I don’t actually disagree with moving from the 60/70 USD standard, but instead I think big budget blockbuster studios should die off, and focus on making optimized, shorter, and more creative games.

Can I counteract that with “then maybe you should release finished products at the initial public release date”?

That’s a terrible idea. You’d pay more than an entire paycheck just to play a typical JRPG which typically have 40+ hours of gameplay. I’m not paying $600 to play one game.

This is developers incrementally conditioning you to accept an even worse state of things for games. And if they follow through, I’ll pirate their shit and never give them a dime of my money again.

I agree, as should salaries of employees. Every hour you produce something measurable you get paid. See how far that idea goes.

... or perhaps pennies per second.

Burninator05, rok temu

Even a penny a second works out to $36 an hour.

I wish I could get a partial money back if I played 2-3 hours because the game is crap…

Oh God, Factorio will cost me my life savings

Oh shit… I thought the $/hr was a good idea until you mentioned Factorio.

So he’s suggesting AAA games be about $5-$10 right?

echodot, rok temu do games w GTA 6’s Publisher Says Video Games Should Theoretically Be Priced At Dollars Per Hour

Ok so somebody should ask this CEO how he expects gamers to pay potentially $200 per game.

What an idiot, games are priced at what the market will bear and they’ve pretty much reached that limit now.

When you get paid in 6-7 digits annually, ideas start to form that the peasants aren’t paying you enough of their 2 digits.

He’s out of touch and thinking about profit, like the blizz ceo pushing games-as-a-service

High quantity, low quality?

Maybe video games should be priced at value per hour

soggy_kitty, rok temu

It would encourage me to complete games as fast as possible and stress me the fuck out. Renting games per hour is a dreadful idea

€200 for Vampire Survivors?

VonCesaw, rok temu

not enough tbh

PieMePlenty, rok temu do games w GTA 6’s Publisher Says Video Games Should Theoretically Be Priced At Dollars Per Hour

Awesome proposal. Some indie games would suck me dry and I’d be paying 1/4 of the price for AAA releases! Is this the redistribution of wealth Marx has been talking about?
