Then I’d have to also tell you to never play a game or buy a product ending in 99 cents. Getting into the mind of the consumer is business 101 and is literally the difference between a game/product having any success or not.
And this has been proven, JCPenney tried to get rid of 99 cent pricing and led to losing 30% profits and bankruptcy. The people who want fair and square pricing won’t be there to actually buy it.
Oh get out. Would you prefer “hey this game costs $60 cause it’s an AAA, and anyway now 70 will become the standard cause we know that some sucker will still buy em”?
At least PEAK it’s a fun little game with a decent price.
Just seems to be a basic commentary on how people think about prices in general. The x.99 thing seems stupid but there’s plenty of data showing that it has an effect.
Remind me to never play any games by these assholes. Wtf kind of psychological mind-game bullshit is this.
Edit: y’all really like being manipulated, huh. Wild world we live in.

No, I don’t buy AAA games.
