- It’s $80
- It’s on Gamespass, where I assume a lot of doom fans who might have otherwise purchased are likely to be.
- It’s shouldered up against Expedition 33 and Oblivion Remake, both over $20 cheaper and highly acclaimed.
- It’s $80
- (Edit) shitty DRM
-
Oh & denuvo
-
Mostly this. I’m not paying for something that comes with malware. Not for $80, $20, or $1. Nobody should pay for malware.
-
Yup. I would have bought Persona 5 Royale and SMT V on day one, if there was no Denuvo. I normally don't open my wallet for $60 games.
Super Robot Wars Y? Not on my radar anymore. Denuvo has cost the companies at least $300+, and I am not a rich dude.
-
I might create a VM to play it for $1 tbf. But yeah I think I'm drawing the line at $5 for anything with denuvo
-
-
Denuvo is the only reason I'm waiting. I'm on Linux, and I'm not risking that Proton change license issue. And also I hate the performance hit that Denuvo causes.
-
Proton ? What's up with that ?
-
Denuvo will revoke your licence to play a game if it thinks you've installed the game on computers with different hardware. Issue is it gets confused by changing the proton version that runs the game, thinking it's a new install on a new computer, and so quickly bans you from playing the game.
-
Oh now I get the picture, jesus it's that bad huh
-
-
That, unfortunately https://www.404media.co/doom-the-dark-ages-drm-is-locking-out-linux-users-who-bought-the-game/ namely that each new Proton "install" e.g. switching version because there is a bug counts as a new install which are limited.

I just wished GOG put more effort, because their Anti-DRM stance is cool AF. I recently bought The Earth-2150 trilogy from GOG

Where is it $80?
-
80€ in Steam Spain.
-
79,99€ in Germany
I am interested, but not that much to pay more than 20€ in a sale in a few years. It was the same with Doom Eternal. And I haven't bought it to this day 😅
Maybe it will never be bought 🤷🏻♂️
-
-
Not in Australia, it's $120 here.
Todd, Marty, Phil and Satya can suck an egg together.
-
Steam, the cheapest I see it as is 79,99€ where I am, which is actually US$90. I just assumed the US store did a straight numeral conversion to dollars, but you’re getting a discount too, it seems.
-
-
It's $70
-
Depends on your location in the world. Which shows just how arbitrary the price actually is.
-
Because of the tariffs that only apply to the US, see, they have to charge more for digital goods in other countries because reasons.

Also, it reviewed well but with some annoying caveats.

up against Expedition 33
I mean... I don't play Doom due to DRM but also to be fair Expedition 33, which I'm enjoying quite a lot on Linux, is "just" 40ish hours whereas Doom is (check notes) less than 20hrs to complete? WTH. Nope.
-
20 and 40 hours both sound pretty terrible for such expensive games. Got far more out of games like Factorio and for a lot less.
-
I'd rather have a 20 hour game that is engaging the entire time than a game that has a ton of filler in it.
-
Factorio is engaging the entire time. Not a massive fan on story games because that severely limits the playtime you get from the game.
-
Yep, different style of games. I need to give Factorio another shot, it seems really up my alley but I couldn't get into it.

-
Also... I think you missed this one... It's $80.

Gonna wait for a code and a sale in a year
