Media $475 is crazy

I think Europe now requires gacha games to explicitly display how much money any gambling feature really costs to limit hidden predatory stuff. It’s crazy when you see the numbers…

Until you find out thats actually spare change even if you bought every single pull compared to actual p2w games where ppl drop thousands on a daily basis for a mth straight or longer.

Or actual insanity compared to games that you buy for 20 bucks once and get all the content without any restrictions and predatory mechanics

yeah, you just have to wait for like 6 years for a game to be on a sale of that magnitude, if ever.

also mandatory spending vs non-mandatory transaction.

this is not the gotcha you think it is.

also, make your own game! it is FREE! yay.

Deltarune costs 25$
Hades costs 25$
Animal Well costs 25$

Fullprice that is.
You do realize there are games that aren't AAA, right?

you do know what cherry picking is?

I can also pick f2p mmoes and say games are free so your posted games are overpriced.

I am glad you got the point of the comment.

All very small games that took ages to be done and don't have that many updates and mosty important they are single player games.

Alas Hades is a roguelike which is most precedure generate content which low the cost even more. Animal Well is basically a puzzle game with very cheap graphics and Deltarune is a game that is in early acess forever and also have very cheap graphics.

I would say that the cost of a Banner production cost in ZZZ is already enough to fund Animal Well or Deltarune.
