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 dont think anyone sees a $20 dollar game, and goes this should now be the price of games. Its weird that they even think that and kind of selfish to try and make it appear as a bad thing.

Yeah, look at this versus the price increases in Nintendo games that nobody seemed to think presented some kind of weird moral quandary.
