Is it $70 somewhere? I got it for $60 on gog and steam says $60 too. Unless you're Canadian or something
No, it is $60, I just feel like other studios don't work half as hard as Larian does per title and still charge more money.
The sheer amount of script and voice acting in the game is insane. All the balanced fights, scripted scenes, level designs, characters, mo-cap, and rigging...I don't even want to think how many hours that all mist have taken. Not to mention developing and writing a script, each with multiple choices and logic branches.
...meanwhile COD and 2K Sport game are reskinning their games every year and charging $70 and putting Nicki Minaj as an operator, haha. More power to them. It just feels like one studio is putting in the effort to justify a higher price and still charging the normal price.
