IGN noted that Silksong’s surprisingly low price thrilled players, but some indie devs fear it could set unrealistic expectations for other games. What do you think? (lemmy.world)

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
