    Wayne Gretzky’s Fighting Hockey was one of the most expensive games and it was also complete and utter trash, so the tiered pricing isn’t gonna work. $60 is plenty, if the devs need more money I recommend firing executives and filler managers.

      Not to mention, you don’t necessarily need budgets like this to make truly memorable and impactful games. The shining example of Minecraft is always there.

      Sure, RDR2 is a rare masterpiece that many still consider to be the best game ever made, but once I finished it, I moved onto my many other indie titles that I had just as much fun with.

      Graphics are great when the dev has the resources available, but if it requires that you upcharge the game when I would be having the same amount of fun anyway, maybe just focus more on the gameplay loop and less on graphics and tech.

      I have a soft spot for Wayne Gretzky’s Hockey on N64 as I played it exclusively multiplayer which was much more fun than single player (which was extremely shit)
