“Just?” That seems like a lot, considering.

Estimates have put the game’s budget at upwards of $250 million, so they’d need to sell at least 5 times as many copies to even break even. Games (from traditional studios, anyway) are crazy expensive now.

That’s insane for how many bugs it has. What are they spending this money on? It’s clearly not development time

It’s such a boring game. I’m stupid for hoping it would be fun

No you’re not. You’re allowed to hope for something and be let down it’s on them to do better especially since they can and have the resources to do so but choose not to.

It’s not on steam, also if you’re going to ask me to pay 90 dollars for a mediocre game you can kindly fuck off.

I’ve been waiting for the price to come down a bit, and because I’ve learned my lesson to always wait a while before buying any Star Wars game.

But I’ll definitely buy it eventually, just like I eventually buy every Star Wars game. Wonder if more people are learning the same lessons as me?

at $70 a game, that’s $70 million dollars in revenue!

But I think the rumor mill has the games budget around 250m dollars.

Their break even point is 5.5 million units sold. Maybe when they release on steam
