Wait, you mean if it is good and worth the money it sells and if it is a cheap worthless cash grab it does not????? Someone call Corporate!
Let's not forget it has no DRM either. AAA studios told us that no game can do well without DRM
The funny thing is I (and probably many others) didn’t even consider pirating it. It had great reviews and was readily available pretty much everywhere without any obvious drawbacks. So I spent full price for it.
My point; DRM doesn’t matter if you produce and sell your game in a consumer friendly way.
Not to mention that full price was up to 20 bucks cheaper than other new releases.
No regional pricing tho so I will wait for a sale
Corporate isn't going to take away the lessons we might hope. Folks at corporate at going to ask things like, "how much money was left on the table?" They can only fuck things up through paying attention.
The takeaways that will make it to the steering group PowerPoint:
- VideoGames based on our IP sell better than expected.
- Sales of our other digital products follow suit
- Larian Studios did this with minimal oversight
- No reason to assume any and all VideoGame products based on other IPs would not follow similar pattern
- Call to action: Fund additional Hasbro IP based VideoGames.
You know corporate will assume the opposite on all points though
Gve me a slay the spire style mtg and I'd be all over it.
Don't give me hope. I still play Shandalar from time to time.
Kill the p2w whales and you kill shit games
I won't lie. I flew the black flag on BG3. I'll pick it up when it goes on a Steam sale, but I'm just not going to spend $60 on a video game no matter how good.
Inflation happens, even to the costs of producing a game, but no sale was lost through your efforts.
