Hello people,

@Mindziaks - Games pricing is quite an interesting topic. In the end it comes down to what each individual person wants to pay for a game and only you can decide if it's of value to you.

In terms of being a rip off though this is a fairly standard price for a AAA game these days. Funnily enough this hasn't changed much for several years now.

*incoming when I was a little boy story*

Back when the NES was out I remember buying a Grand Prix game with my birthday money. It cost £59.99!! When I compare that to prices these days the price point hasn't moved much in 20~ years, which isn't bad at all.

Not really. That is pretty much the standard pricing now for all video games from any publisher. It is not cheap to make games and Developers don't work for free (even though they don't make what they should for the work they do).

If you take all of the hard work behind a game like Battlefield 1 in consideration, the price is actually quite fair and the price for this game is pretty much the same for any other new game out there.
If you think it's a little bit too pricey right now, you can always wait until the game has launched because better deals will most likely be presented at a later date from various game stores.

@Mindziaks That's the price of it. The price will not change till far after launch when sales happen. Its not greed, developing games is expensive.

Well I have been playing games for decades. Yes brand new games like division, battlefield 4, Rise of Tomb Raider and etc. Never paid for game more then 39.99 for Standard version. For Deluxe 49.99. So I don't know were you get your prices from. Have over 120 games in steam, origin, uplay.
I agree to part where you say only individually you can decide if game is worth money to you. Because nowadays games tend to come out with full of bugs, unfinished and unsatisfying (like Hardline or Watchdogs where one thing gets introduced on E3 and on release you get totally different). So therefore I hope to try Open beta before actually buying this. Had to many games already where I was disappointed (and it's not just many many games been on that road)
Probably now you will say something like (oh but these games aren't part of EA except Battefield) so we cannot talk for prices of another developer. But our prices been like that for ages... I know how it works 🙂
Plus I like being honest and state my opinion as this is what i believe.

Well if you think that is allot of money. Here in canada the game package that comes with the season pass is $167. That is more then a one year subscription to EVE Online and that was already quite expensive in my opinion.
