Awesome! I would have easily payed $60 for this.
Resale value.
Why should he need to prove anything to you? And what's with weird passive-aggressive "I doubt he has any"?
It's always odd to me how when an indie game is priced this high, people are automatically less likely to buy it. I get where it comes from but this game supposedly has as much content as a regular AAA game, if not more.
Resale value.
Oh, misunderstood your post. Thought that comment was regarding Blow and his budgetAre you fucking joking? He made a claim that Talos had a bigger budget than The Witness, so I asked for proof.
Also it is hardly passive aggressive to say that I doubt he has any when a lot of developers do not release their actual budgets.
What!? SIX DOLLARS FOR A DIGITAL INDIE ALBUM!? Pfft, pass.
ITT: people who don't understand value propositions and/or game development
$40 seems like a fair price for this product based on what we know. guffawing at it only makes you look cheap.
There were major complaints with this.I see more complaints about this than there was about this...
Some of you are weird.
No, I have never sold any game on my ~25 years of gaming.
Simply I don't pay that amount for a game that it's not in my most wanted list if I can't touch it.
400 - Instabuy
800 - Probably buy
1200 - Really needs to be worth it
1600 - Fuck off
$20? Uhhhh.... Was gonna get it, but really?
And, Competition or Bust.
$20 USD? No thanks.
Interested in the game but not $20 interested
Don't care what reasoning you can throw at me or how hard you claim it's a good price for the game, I'm not paying that much for it
to everyone complaining about the price: have you played the fucking game? if no, shut up
I think what this should teach developers is that you really should try to create a pricing narrative around your game. Even if you don't want to pin down an exact price until close to launch, you want people to think "This is an amazing full-featured content-rich game that I'm getting for only $40; that's $20 less than most games!" and not "Man, this indie game is like 2-3 times as expensive as other indie games."
You need to connect the dots for people. It's not enough to show that your game is no small indie game. You need to let people know that they're not going to get an amazing "$60" game for $15; they're going to get an amazing "$60" game for $40.
Especially if they're stood akimbo and quaffing mead.
Oh, misunderstood your post. Thought that commebt was regarding Blow and his budget
For some people, myself included, if it's above 20 and you're not giving me the game on physical media, it's a no-go. At least on console where the two services haven't proven themselves to be all that reliable.

I look forward to the reactions when No Man's Sky is announced to cost $60.
I'm fine with this price for The Witness.

i mean, it totally looks worth the money, but thats not the point
wait wat
Yeah I'm kind of expecting $60 for NMS. But would be pleased with $50.
Find it kind of hilarious people don't balk at giving $60 to massive corporations but are hesitant to pay $40 for an indie game that someone spent all their money to create. Game has 600+ puzzles. You'll probably get your money's worth if you like these type of games.
I don't expect it to be cheap, but some folks have a budget for games that they are on the fence. My monthly budget for games is $60 these days, and I can't enjoy all these great games at full price anymore, especially with Canadian dollar going down the shitter.
Didn't we already go through that and concluded it was going to be 60?I look forward to the reactions when No Man's Sky is announced to cost $60.
I'm fine with this price for The Witness.
Fantasy vernacular.
Man, y'all niggaz is cheap...
What if this turns out to be another Jouney? No faith in blow even after braid?
I dunno, I thought Braid was pretty amazing..

Oh, so it was actually $20. Sure was a gutsy move by Blow.
