    Never would I buy it for that price. I’ll stick to 20-30 euros tops,thank you very much. Most of the time I pay less than that on discount too.

    I had the same confused reaction but its actually 40% off of silent hill f and silent hill 2 as a bundle. The math works for the bundle.

      Okay, that’s weird. I have Silent Hill 2, so maybe that’s why the bundle didn’t show at first. I clicked on it and I saw the bundle with the correct pricing. Not a typo, but confusing error.

        I think you don’t get extra copies of the games with the bundles and the publisher can chose to not discount already owned games.

        That plus some “happy accident” with the UI and here you have it

    Never pay more than 20-40 bucks (used to be 20 but I’m adjusting for inflation and good companies you’d like to support by paying full price, like OwlCat, idk) for a videogame. 👍

      Yeah, I think minecraft is the most expensive game I’ve ever bought, there are just so many good things around that $20 mark. Beamng, terraria, vintage story, hytale, ets2/ats, stardew valley, slime rancher, it’s so much stuff

      Absolutely. I tend to go for the deep discounts for games I’d forgotten about. I picked up The Surge and The Surge 2 for $5 and I’m pretty damn happy with them right now.

    No, these bastards have been price gouging games for way too long and need a reckoning.

    It’s advertising. Most people see that percentage discount and think they’re getting a deal.

    Want more than a mild infuriation? Look at how much they charge for the Assassin’s Creed games.

      Just did, shadows is 30€ the rest is 5-20, looks quite reasonable to me. Ubisoft massively discounts AC games after release.

        Discounts are great and often showcase what actual pricing on a game should be.

        I just took this screenshot of current pricing:

          Where the hell is this from?! It’s not PS store or Steam so that eliminates the two biggest markets in the world…

            So, from your browser caps, the moral of the story is, Xbox store is for cucks oder? In the European PS store I can get AC games at the prices I mentioned.

            Shame for xbox users, they’re beeing taken to the cleaners.

            Obligatory FUCK MICROSLOP!

            The screenshot above is from the Xbox store.

            PSN is the same, although the search layout will differ and not make it seem as egregious. It very much is egregious.

            If you’re subscribed to PS+ Premium, the search will hide the price behind an “included” banner.

            Here’s a PlayStation Store screenshot from a browser without signing in:
