Yeah, I'm not paying more than $20 for an indie game. If your indie game "needs" to cost more than that (it doesn't), I will just wait for a sale.
Edit: LOL @ the downvotes 😂 so entitled "b-b-but you HAVE to buy my hobby project at full overpriced price that is a carbon copy of literally hundreds of identical games' premise, art style, and mechanics, don't you want to SUPPORT me???"
I fail to see why one would not pay more just because it's indie I mean I have heard arguments about them being buggy and not complete sometimes, but that is equally true for many AAA games nowadays, but those people pay $80 without as much as a blink
Yeah, I'm not paying $60-$80 for your "AAAA" game either, I will wait for a sale.
Oh so it was not a question if it's indie or not, you just won't pay more than $20 for a game. A misunderstanding
I mean, if the production costs are so huge that you need $35+, you are just a company. $30 is the limit
