Most games have $80-$120 editions that include all of the actual content. $60 is usually the bare bones experience. That is on top of monetization in game.
But prices don't exist in a vacuum either. The gaming market has exploded and is vastly larger than it was back in 2006.
Steam found games were typically much more profitable when heavily discounted than when full price in general.
- root_axis 8y agoThis is not typical of "most" games. Some games, usually AAA titles from major publishers do this, but the content is usually unimportant to the game as a whole.

- nightski 8y agoThe discussion is about unionization. I'd assume that means we are primarily talking about AAA here. But I could of been more explicit. How much of content offered is sort of irrelevant. A better metric would be how many gamers buy these things. I'd guess quite a few since they keep going all in on the model (it's getting worse).
- lozenge 8y agoI always got the impression it was to give gaming journalists something to write about. I never met anybody actually buying these special editions.
