  Oh & denuvo

    Mostly this. I’m not paying for something that comes with malware. Not for $80, $20, or $1. Nobody should pay for malware.

      I might create a VM to play it for $1 tbf. But yeah I think I’m drawing the line at $5 for anything with denuvo

      Yup. I would have bought Persona 5 Royale and SMT V on day one, if there was no Denuvo. I normally don’t open my wallet for $60 games.

      Super Robot Wars Y? Not on my radar anymore. Denuvo has cost the companies at least $300+, and I am not a rich dude.

    Denuvo is the only reason I’m waiting. I’m on Linux, and I’m not risking that Proton change license issue. And also I hate the performance hit that Denuvo causes.

      Proton ? What’s up with that ?

      • HereIAm@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        Denuvo will revoke your licence to play a game if it thinks you’ve installed the game on computers with different hardware. Issue is it gets confused by changing the proton version that runs the game, thinking it’s a new install on a new computer, and so quickly bans you from playing the game.

  Where is it $80?

  source

  • RiQuY@lemm.ee ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    80€ in Steam Spain.

    source

    • Nephalis@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      79,99€ in Germany

      I am interested, but not that much to pay more than 20€ in a sale in a few years. It was the same with Doom Eternal. And I haven’t bought it too this day 😅

      Maybe it will never be bought 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Not in Australia, it’s $120 here.

    Todd, Marty, Phil and Satya can suck an egg together.

  • Eggyhead@lemmings.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    Steam, the cheapest I see it as is 79,99€ where I am, which is actually US$90. I just assumed the US store did a straight conversion to dollars, but you’re getting a discount too, it seems.

• FeelzGoodMan420@eviltoast.org ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

  It’s $70

  • pennomi@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    Depends on your location in the world. Which shows just how arbitrary the price actually is.

    • samus12345@lemm.ee ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Because of the tariffs that only apply to the US, see, they have to charge more for digital goods in other countries because reasons.

  up against Expedition 33

  I mean… I don’t play Doom due to DRM but also to be fair Expedition 33 is “just” 40ish hours whereas Doom is (check notes) less than 20hrs to complete? WTH. Nope.

  • Korhaka@sopuli.xyz ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    20 and 40 hours both sound pretty terrible for such expensive games. Got far more out of games like Factorio and for a lot less.

    source

    • rivalary@lemmy.ca ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      I’d rather have a 20 hour game that is engaging the entire time than a game that has a ton of filler in it.

      source

      • Korhaka@sopuli.xyz ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        Factorio is engaging the entire time. Not a massive fan on story games because that severely limits the playtime you get from the game.

  Also, it reviewed well but with some annoying caveats.

  Also… I think you missed this one… It’s $80.
