Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ruin Explorer" data-source="post: 9597814" data-attributes="member: 18">I think it's more likely they'll just make it $80 instead of $70, much as some "industry analysts" and the like are salivating at the prospect of higher-priced games.Also if they go to $80, they'll still get huge numbers of weird nerds defending them online and saying "It's like, totally justifiable because they chose to spend insane amounts on development, maaaan", but if they got to $100, let alone dramatically more than that, suddenly that support is going to fall off very fast and they're going to start to attract a lot of criticism. I'm sure they'll have some overpriced special editions of course.id software are in a sort of weird category with Obsidian, they've never made a terrible game, but also they have made a lot of 8/10 or niche ones. Rage 2 is pretty bad but everyone knows that was mainly Avalanche working on it so they kind of get let off that one. I feel like there's an alternative universe where they're still the "one good" AAA developer, but it's one where they were actually less experimental and focused more on just reliably making good FPSes. Doom The Dark Ages looks like it will review really well (because critics love that kind of thing, it's practically critic-bait), sell okay but not quite as well as one would expect, and then like, in two years after release, most gamers won't actually like it very much, just like Doom Eternal, which is like, almost more of a speed puzzle game than a shooter, very skillfully designed but not necessarily much fun to play unless you're really into the specific niche it's for.</blockquote>
