New X-COM game coming . . . and it's turn based strategy!

[Razgovory]

I'll start it today.  I've been sick lately and couldn't stay up very late last night.  Gots me a cold.

50$(or 45 on GMG) for a pc game, seriously?

50$(or 45 on GMG) for a pc game, seriously?

Seems pretty standard. AAA titles are usually €40-€60, mid range ones at 20-30 and budget titles are 0-20.

And that hasn't really changed since, well, ever since I've started playing computer games, oh, 20 years ago.

50 or 60 USD is the norm for new PC releases and has been for ages, iirc. 

[Grey Fox]

No it's not. It is for cross platforms games where there is also a console version that you need the inflated price for like Call of Duty, Borderlands, etc or the ad-hoc Blizzard games

Look on steam, most games aren't 60$. Darksiders 2 was (a cross platform of all games) 40$ at launch. Torchlight 2 is 20$.

It's too much money, those games aren't worth that much when there is many many more alternative for a fraction of the price.

[Syt]

those games aren't worth that much

I think they're worth what customers want to pay for them and companies want to charge for them.

Just to be clear, GF, $60 is too much for me personally, too. I bought Xcom off GMG for $45 and a $10 in-store credit, and the free copy of Civ 5 might make a nice gift later.

I'm not made of money.

Most games on Steam in general aren't AAA titles.

Sucks that you're poor, bro.

Rebranding, Pirate Bay was getting to big.

It would be nice if they gave me the order capture an alien after they give me the equipment to do so, and not before.

[katmai]

Until you have built the stun gun and alien containment facility it is all moot. But they will keep friendly reminding you to try and capture some aliens.
