Yeah… that’s why getting the driveless PS5 is a bad idea.
I got it for free in 2021 when they were doing the Play at Home initiative. Unfortunately, I’ve never liked it. I hate having to be sneaky and use ranged for combat. I just wanna run up and hit stuff with my stick.
I actually have it on my wishlist. One of those games I wanted to play eventually. Had it on my wishlist now. Certain actions by companies make me lose interest.
There’s enough good games out there. Can skip some based on company actions just fine.
So the first one was $25-30 on steam and they brought it back to $50?
I already got the game last year, so I’m not affected by this, but that is incredibly shitty.
This is about consoles.
I don’t think it’s really that bad, because it enables them to sell the upgrade for $10 without just being a steep discount path for new purchases.
I’d much rather previous owners be able to upgrade for $10 than new buyers be able to get it for $20. Funding a remaster on new customers instead of double dipping is way more fair, and price conscious customers can still likely find used physical copies cheap.
Or, you know, buy a used physical copy for $10:

$20 for the “Complete Edition”.
Shhhh… Don’t let everyone else know how cheap you can get physical PS4/5 games for (not even just used, but new games on sale too)
I wouldn’t be surprised if the Complete Edition has gone for less than 20 at GameStop, Best Buy, or Amazon (or all three) on sale. There are ways to find the lowest price a game has ever been…
