Releasing a game like this for 50 bucks in this day and age is extremely surprising. Easy day 1 grab.

Honestly it's pathetic they had to defend the cheaper price.

Wait, why would anyone be against cheaper game price?

I know it's Tyler McViker, but his latest video mentioned Valve hiring devs from Rockstar, Naughty Dog, id and so on and I don't know if they would be happy working on skins.

Just from data mining Source 2 game updates we know Valve is working on a new Half Life game. That, with the hiring of said devs makes it seem like Valve has a pretty big push internally to get a new Half Life out, which is great.

I assume people see the lower price and get suspicious of the quality? Like cheap = bad or poor in quality?

Years ago, this is one of the reasons why indie devs were saying to price games higher than $10-$15 since others would view the game as low quality and a cash grab. It's sad that people view lower price tag with lower quality.

This also backfires because once in a while a Stardew or Terraria or Hollow Knight appears and then for the next 8 years people wonder why they should pay $30 or $40 when that game is $15...

It's also a bit sad that they have to justify the price by saying the game is 30-60 hours long. When you get older you will value your time far more than money. For me personally, I would have been more interested if they had said it's a 20 hour game than a 30 hour one.
