Maybe don't charge $145 for a digital product. Maybe charge $50, and sell it to 5x the people. It quite literally costs nothing (okay, pedantically, the tiniest fraction) to sell more units.
I'd play an okay Star Wars game for $50 day 1. Wouldn't you?
And then when it goes on sale, loads of people would pay $20 on a 60% sale price next year. Whose paying $60 at a 60% off sale for a year old okay Star Wars game? No one. Not one soul.
Oh, you can get it cheaper for subscribing to Ubisoft+. Fuck off with that bullshit, do you even hear yourself?
....the base game is $69.99 like all other recent AAA games.
Yup, and I'll wait for it be 20 bucks or less on steam, unless it's like the last one which could have been a dlc for the one before it. If that's the case, I'll pass since I didn't make it half way through the last one because it was boring.
Well for what it's worth, I'm really liking it a lot. It may be fast food gaming, but I think I'd at least compare this one more to Shake Shack than McDonald's. It's surprisingly thoughtful in it's details.
Ok, I'll prob get roasted for this but hear me out.
I think Ubisoft+ is great. I can get the whatever $500 mega platinum edition for like $15 if I can beat it that month. Or even if I take 2 months to beat it, I've only spent $30 which is less then a base game. Then you unsub and wait for the next game you're interested in.
Not gonna roast you or downvote you, as that does seem to be a use case. Just not one that would work for me, since I replay games frequently.
Honestly the last Ubisoft title I think I played was AC: Black Flag, and that was cause, pirates.
You must've been super excited about the AAAA spin-off where they removed boarding.
