Way too much overpriced !!

Gaming is not essential to your life, developers set prices to recoup costs.

A one time fee to play the game is nothing, maybe budget your money better? Set $10/week aside. Viola

Just because I set 10$/week aside, doesn't mean I want to buy something that I think is overpriced and not worth it. And the game IS overpriced in some regions, thanks to Microsoft store being great and all.

You think it's overpriced, I don't think it is and it is worth it. See how that works?

Microsoft does not arbitrarily raise prices in different countries just for fun.

Import fees, various taxes on entertainment, currency conversion, whatever the case may be, the reason it costs me $60 in the US, and other countries more lies on your countries government, not rare or Microsoft.

The price is way over logical levels ! The content is only "this" much yet the price is like buying the game 3 times over !

Yea microsoft is the one controlling that but guess what if they don't sell it you have the problem , not microsoft..

I won't be buying this game at all if it holds this price..

if you wont pay dat much for a game you have still the Option to get the Xbox Game pass for like 10€/month
but you should imagine how much work ppl put into this
also there games which costs more than 70€ etc

some example:
Imagine how much Money ppl spend to Play World of Warcraft Monthly would you rather pay like 15$/per month or would you do a onetime Payment which is like 70€
also you have to know that rare doesnt Show off the full Content of the game

and we all know that this Price is a hard bread but you have to Keep in mind what ppl are expecting like Open world, Realistic enviroment, Long term fun, etc. and ppl came over here and telling they want such a game but only want to spend like 20$ this is such a stupid realization

PS: sorry for my bad English ☠☠

At least it is a finished job. I have paid much more in proportion for early access in other games.

If the final result is the expected one, the price deserves it.

Olá, eu sou o Fumagalli e irei concorda e descorda deste tópico, ou seja irei dizer os prós e os contras... Bom eu sou um Brasileiro e irei fazer algumas comparações de preços para que vocês tenha noção do quanto é caro pra gente (claro que a empresa não tem nada a ver, mas mesmo assim irei expor nossa renda.)! Vamos lá...

O Salario que o governo nos dá pelo nossos trabalho durante um mês equivale á "R$ 979,00." que em euros vale aproximadamente "€ 244,35" e na microsoft pra gente o jogo está custando "R$ 199,99" que em euro vale aproximadamente "€ 49,86". Isso é 20% de nosso salário, que nos renderia 7 dias de trabalho. Então eu concordo que o jogo realmente para nós (Brasileiros) é um jogo caro. Só que também tem as vantagens de pagar o preço pelo jogo, pois é um jogo que a maioria dos Brasileiros gamer estão entusiasmado para jogarem e temos um publico grande deste jogo, sem contar a competitividade entre os mares, a interação entre os players, a proposta que o jogo nos da com suas quest, a dificuldade e enigmas que escondem os tesouros, a forma com que o trabalho em equipe se desenvolve durante o jogo e vários outros critérios num só jogo de mundo aberto. Espero que o valor do jogo pelo menos de uma reduzida... Mas se continuar o mesmo preço, tenho certeza que será um dinheiro bem pago e que a diversão será garantida!!! Obrigado pelo espaço.

Hello, I am Fumagalli and I will agree and disagree with this topic, or I will say the pros and cons ... Well I am a Brazilian and I will make some price comparisons so that you have a sense of how expensive it is for us ( Of course the company has nothing to do, but I'll expose our income anyway.)! Come on...

The Salary that the government gives us for our work each month is equivalent to "R $ 979.00." which in euros is worth "€ 244.35" and in microsoft for people the game is costing "$ 199.99" which in euro is worth "€ 49.86". That's 20% of our salary! That would give us 7 days of work. So I agree that the game really for us (Brazilians) is an expensive game. But it also has the advantages of paying the price for the game, because it is a game that most Brazilian gamer are enthusiastic to play and we have a large audience of this game, not to mention the competitiveness between the seas, the interaction between the players, the a proposal that the game gives us with its quest, the difficulty and puzzles that hide the treasures, how teamwork develops during the game and several other criteria in a single open world game. I hope the value of the game is at least a reduced ... But if you continue the same price, I'm sure it will be a well paid money and that the fun will be guaranteed !!! Thanks for the space.

(Sorry for the translation!)

I need to say i find 70 dollars really steep, and its holding me back for now aswell.
if you only play on pc or xbox, I think there should be a lower price for only a key on pc and xbox and if you want a dual then you pay 70 euro's.

Not everyone has money that he can easly miss but still want to play a game like this.

I'm not trying to offend anyone here, but why is this even a discussion? With cheaper options (i.e. Xbox Game Pass - 10 USD/mo, 14-day free trial) available, it makes the game accessible for everyone. Sure, if you eventually decide to purchase the full game, you're still looking at a hefty price tag, but games have been doing that for as far back as I can remember. It all comes down to how you choose to spend your money and what you consider being "worth it".

Worth every penny

Unfortunately I also need to complain about price :(

In my country, in Europe See of Theves is right now the most expensive game, w*f.

Other latest AAA games like AssassinsCreed origins, Battlefront 2 etc. are for 80% of SoT price. For that price i even bought collectors edition of Elex.

I was so hyped for SoT and when I saw price I felt sad, because I can't afford it :( Its just too much for a PC game.
I love pirate games. My house is even finished in dark wood marine style and in free time I make wooden models of sailing ships. I work as game developer and I buy lot of games, but there is a limit and SoT crossed it.

I can now only wait when it will be cheaper and wish lot of fun for these who already bought it.

@lil-bastien said in Way too much overpriced !!:
And the fact is 70€ is one day of work so its not a big deal for game like this.

Depend where you live. In my country 70€ is 6 days of work for average person. Its how much I spend for food for a full month. I believe that this price in US or UK is ok, but not everywhere. International economy can be brutal sometimes. That's why Withcer3 was cheap and gives lot of free content. Even with low price it was still a huge financial success, because you need to pay much less for production.

But you are right, there is a big chance that price will be lower some time after release. Lets just wait.

@lil-bastien Pozdrawiam z Warszawy! :D So as I said, I will wait for release and for lower price.

@LogansDadToo That sounds interesting, I need to check it, thanks

Not sure about other places, but it's £49.99 incl. VAT in the UK. That's the normal price for games nowadays here. I only ever uy a new game if it's particularly special. Have bought 1 game new since getting an Xbox one. All others have been through share or second hand purchasing. I'll buy SoT though.
