Representing the essence of the controversy like nowhere else are the Discussions on Steam, where almost every active topic created in the past hours lambasts the game for its price, while the few remaining threads criticize the sequel for offering only five languages and English-only voiceover.
In their comments, people have expressed outrage not only over the price of The Outer Worlds 2 but also that this particular game – a sequel rather than an original title – was chosen by Xbox to spearhead the price hikes.
Adding to the criticism is that The Outer Worlds 2 comes from the studio that released Avowed earlier this year, a game that had abysmal player numbers and was not well received by gamers, along with the fact that the game costs even more than $80 in Europe, reaching $97.29 in Switzerland, $94.84 in the UK, $92.84 in Poland, and $91.28 in Eurozone countries when converted to USD.
As a cherry on top, many have found it particularly ironic that the sequel to The Outer Worlds, a game that criticized late-stage capitalism, is the first Xbox title to launch with an increased price, succinctly summarizing their feelings about the debacle as “capitalism bad, give us $80.”
