Yikes, kinda expensive on mobile. I already repackaged it from my Steam copy and side-loaded it on to my phone so I'll stick with that. It would be nice if I could keep my progress from one to the other though.
I continue to be a little perplexed by views like this. If the game is $15 on steam, why is $10 on mobile viewed as expensive?
I understand that mobile games typically are cheaper or freemium, but I feel mobile games would be higher quality overall if people actually wanted to spend money on them
seems fair to me, same price as Slay the Spire without the famous steam sales
Because I already bought the game. Why should I have to pay more based on where I play it? That's ridiculous. If I buy it, I should be able to play it how and where I want.
I mean that's fine. Like you said you can continue to use your version that uses the steam files, that's the version you paid for. But the game sold on another store is cheaper than the other. I don't think that makes the game too expensive
Edit:
Also as far as I can tell from this, save transfer is supported on the side loaded version https://github.com/blake502/balatro-mobile-maker
Isn't the mobile version 1:1 with the desktop? If so, how is this "kinda expensive" if it's the same product that's considered cheap?
