At this year’s TGA, Square Enix announced that “FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE INTERGRADE” will be exclusively launched on the Epic Store on December 16. Is the price.
Currently on the Epic Store, the price of “FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE INTERGRADE” has been temporarily concealed and can only be added to the wish list, but before that, it has been booked by players for $70. Many people protested against this, and some even expressed that they would simply play piracy, and there has been a stir in the European and American communities.
In terms of the price of new games in Europe and America, the default price of US$60 has been used for many years, but since the launch of the new generation of PS5 consoles, last year included Activision’s “Decisive Hour: Black Ops Cold War”, Take-Two “NBA 2K21”, SIE “Marvel Spider-Man: Miles Moras” has announced that it will increase the new generation version of the game to $70, and claims that players can get a better sound and light experience.
Players have always had the impression that the PC version of the game is cheaper than the home console version. This is true. The main reason is that in the past, the majority of home console platforms were still physical channels. However, after the rapid development of the digital version in recent years, the net profit gap between the two has gradually Decrease, but last year’s price increase has not yet affected the PC platform.
Not only “FF7 Remake”, Square Enix’s other 3A work “Forspoken” on Steam is currently priced at $70. So Square Enix fired this time, and it seems that it wants to bring the prices of all platforms to almost the same level.
With the rapid development of games in the past 10 years, although it is a fact that development costs are soaring, consumers, of course, will always resist price increases, but in an era when everything is rising, it seems that the new generation of games can no longer hold up.
