Cries in poor…
And that’s a lot of money for what we all know is gonna be a broken game, Todd.

I mean, Mario galaxy already had that part figured out… :P
And no mans sky
And elite dangerous
But hey whose counting
$70 USD to play an open world Bethesda game on launch day is a joke. There’s no other way to describe it. It’s laughable that Microsoft and Bethesda think anyone should be paying that much money to beta test the buggy, unstable, maybe even unfinished version of Starfield we’re likely getting in September. You’ll be paying the most money for the worst version of the game, period. And this is coming from someone who bought Skyrim on launch day in 2011.
Even if Starfield is better than expected, and surprisingly playable on launch day, I have no doubt in my mind that it will be an even better game by late 2024 thanks to the modding community, and you’ll probably be able to get it on sale by then. Especially if you plan to buy it on Steam, where big sales events seem to happen every week. But I doubt Starfield is going to be finished in September, because Bethesda has been given a mandate to hit a product launch target determined by Microsoft board room executives. We’ve all seen enough games this year, especially on PC, that were practically broken on day one, and especially after Redfall, I have a feeling that Starfield won’t be any better.
That’s the thing, they don’t expect you to pay that, or at least it’s not what they want, they want you to sign up to gamepass to play it then stay subbed for that sweet, sweet recurring income.
Isn’t $70 industry standard now?
They’re trying hard to push it as the new standard, but not every publisher is doing it yet. It’s been tried before, and fizzled out because consumers stopped buying as much but unfortunately, it might stick this time.
