    People are struggling to buy groceries.

    CEO: Let’s raise the price of a good people don’t need because money.

    I can only hope this move backfires spectacularly.

    I don’t mean to sound mean or dismissive, but… I feel like I’m the only one who played the first Outer Worlds. It just feels like it’s one of those things that was supposed to be a thing, but wasn’t a thing.

    Don’t get it twisted, I’m not complaining that they’re making a sequel. I’m relieved and hope it does better, I just remember more people complaining about Outer Worlds than talking about it. So I’m hoping this second chance for the franchise really helps it get off the ground (Unless it was a big hit and I’m just badly misinformed about how well it did)

    But that 80 dollar price tag? Lemme tell you that’s not a consumer friendly choice, that’s Spacer’s Choice.

      I also found it underwhelming which is a shame because I generally love Obsidian RPGs. They did a much better job with Avowed recently in my opinion.

      I played it in the hospital waiting for my wife to go into labor haha. I’m pretty sure that’s the only reason I remember it. I tried to replay it recently and made it about halfway through before moving on.

      I ain’t paying $80 for it and there’s no game pass on Linux. Guess I’m waiting for a sale. 🤷

    Yea, no thanks dawg. First game was boring AF, and on top of that, now you want 80 bucks?

    even if wages increased with inflation and 80 dollar games weren’t so distressing, the first outer wilds fucking sucked and I have no hope for the sequel

    Was there a big contingent of people waiting for a sequel? I recall the original game being massively hyped and actually being pretty disappointing once I played it.

    Don’t worry everyone, it’ll proabably be on gamepass on release. You should all get that /s

      Ugh. I hate subscriptions, people parroting this “just get gamepass, it’s cheaper” is just silly. Once they got you hooked in- they’ll increase the prices for sure.

      Like others said, it is mostly done to make gamepass more appealing vs the 80 bucko’s.

      I say No to either and settle for i’ll wait for a nice good sale at some point in future time.

        I personally am at a stage where I have a few games I rotate with sometimes something new(er) in between.

          I got so much at this point that I am not interested in full-price titles due to “lack” of things to play, I tend to not often stick to 1 anymore as I used to.
