The Outer Worlds 2's Anti-Capitalist Message Sounds Awfully Hypocritical To Me Now Microsoft Is Charging $80 For The Obsidian RPG

Obsidian and Xbox charging $80 for The Outer Worlds is a direct betrayal of its themes and characters.

    That’s a lot of money for any game, let alone one that will also be launching on Game Pass and, like its progenitor, is smaller scale than other open world RPGs of this ilk.

    It’s this thinking that led to Starfield and Redfall being priced at $70 and Hi-Fi Rush priced at $30.

    I could bitterly rationalise it if this were the release date trailer for the next Fable and I discovered Playground Games was charging me $80

    Why? Playground hasn’t even made a game in this genre before. Why do you expect that to be more worth $80 than the company that’s been making acclaimed RPGs since its inception?
