Nowhere at Activision level. It’s all about using the right words, phrasing and timing to connect with his employees grievances without taking sides.

hsk_colossus Posted May 15, 2022 Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 https://techraptor.net/gaming/news/salt-and-sacrifice-price-changes-after-launch-for-different-regions The worldwide Salt and Sacrifice price has seen a significant increase in some countries following its official release on the Epic Game Store (EGS) and PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 consoles. According to Ska Studios, this is because of Sony saw that the prices on the EGS were "much lower than Sony", and they thus forced to match the game's prices on all platforms. This is both good and bad news for different countries, because for places like Brazil have seen a 276% price increase from R$37.99 to R$104.90 . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

l33tmaniac Posted May 15, 2022 Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 So Sony is forcing publishers to price the games on different platforms to be the same as that of PSN. What a dick move. Basically this is armtwisting at some level. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quixote_1989 Posted May 15, 2022 Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 2 hours ago, Snake said: What it means that they signed a contract with Sony to have price parity across platforms Which also means Sony likely forced them to sign such a contract to allow the game on their platform. Not a good look for Sony whichever way you put it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarbonCore Posted May 15, 2022 Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 It would've been less than 500rs like the first game, but now its 1300+. Thanks Sony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnK Posted May 15, 2022 Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 I think the biggest problem is not having regional pricing locked down via strict IP blocks even till this day. Most of the ppl make accounts from the cheapest region in all gaming storefronts. Now unsuccessful & new fronts like Xbox & EGS are just willing to do anything to have an audience but the successful ones like Playstation,Nintendo & Steam usually want to have good revenue. Playstation & Nintendo have piss poor regional pricing for this very reason. They (specially PS as it’s a direct competitor to PC)need regional pricing & very strict IP checks like Netflix & Amazon so that OOR accounts are next to impossible. Once & If this happens us Indians (& the fellow poor third world gamers) will benefit the most. 2600 for Indie games & 5k for AAA is just not within reach to non luxurious earners. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
