Because it’s $60-$100? I don’t pay more than $20 for a game
Waiting for a lower price point. I have enough games.
I'm waiting for a sale
Patient gamers being patient. Good on em. It'll get finished right about the time they drop the price.
- If they're going to force PC players to wait years before the game is available, don't be surprised when they wait a few more years.
  
  Doesn't bother me much. I have plenty of other games to play and the best experience and performance comes long after release. I only get to play a game for the first time once, and I value that over following a hype cycle.
its already out??
Maybe it's not as good a match for PC gamer demographics as their other games?
- I think it's just a bad price. You can get it for $40 or so new for PS5, it was released 2 years ago, and it's a short game (like 15 hours), yet they're charging $60 on PC. It should have launched at $40.
  
  Iirc it was also one of the larger releases for that new platform that was desperate for the sort of experience that can shift consoles.
  I wonder how many people have already played it on PS5 and just aren't interested in a second go around.
- It seems right up my ally to me like with Kena, but that game was 20 compared to 60.
The game’s original hype stemmed from it being a technical showcase for the PS5. Not exactly a selling point for the already more-powerful PC world. They also didn’t bother porting the previous game to PC before porting the sequel.
- *previous 14 games.
- It's the first game to actually use DirectStorage for something useful (that might be impossible without it), so I think it counts as a showcase on PC as well.
I already paid full price on PS5.. I got BG3 coming out soon. I can wait for this to go on a good sale before picking it up. But I will be picking it up.
I have had every playstation except for ps5 and I have never played a rachet and clank game. I don't intend to change that. The bits and pieces I've seen of the more recent stuff carries a bit too much of that deviantart furry aesthetic for me anyways. Timberborne is probably as furry as I'll ever be comfortable with.
- You should touch yourself.
