Hello everyone,
I touched on this in a status update but I feel like it’s an important aspect of game distribution and something which people who intend to sell their games will have to deal with eventually.
People have different opinions about the topic, using all sorts of arguments to justify the cost of a game:
* Production Cost
* Quality
* Length
Etc...
I was researching this and on steam found a thread about the cost of Little Nightmare 2 which made people react quite a bit considering it’s a short game:
It eventually delves into racist diatribe but from what I’ve read people believe that it’s too expensive content wise. Note that it’s not a poll or anything like that, just my impression reading through the replies.
This dates back to 2018:
According to his SteamSpy data, the median ("middle", not average) price of a game on Steam is $5.99; for comparison, the median price of an indie game on the platform is $3.99, and the median price of an indie game released on Steam in 2017 is $2.99.Apr. 4, 2018
