God forbid they want to make good money from their job lol

8 dollars is a very reasonable price for this game but alright

Ok, but to be fair they are charging $8 for a good and fun game. There are so many examples of truly putrid greed I don’t think this is the one to really focus on.

Psychological pricing is “received wisdom” among businesspeople. I’ve had lots of pricing discussions over when something stops being “about $10”. Is it $11.95, or will people accept $12.95? 🤔 $13.95 is certainly $15. 😒 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychol...

this would have legs if they weren't charging less than ten dollars for a whole-ass game. not exactly cruel exploitation

Okay but they’re a small indie studio lmao. Capitalism is to blame here, they’re just trying to get by

I'm not gonna lie y'all I don't think it's that deep, I'm pretty sure this is just girlmath

nuh bro it is more like "How can we understand the thinking of our buyers in order to get actual profit + not scare new people" because HELL DAYUM I AM BUYING ANY GAME HIGHER THEN 9 BUCKS, THAT A FUCKING STEAL!

It's different when the game is probably worth closer to $10. $8 feels like kind of a steal to play this game

this breaks my brain

An unironic ''Jesse what the f*ck are you talking about'' moment

Gamer math.

There's a entire kind of store here in Brazil that's called 1,99 'cause it's actually 2 but if feels like 1

Not sure if you've found it, but just in case: bsky.app/profile/thef...

This cant be a real quote

7,99 is 8,00, which is closer to 10 than it is to 5 for me.

they are 100% correct with this and the phrasing makes it even funnier

Incredible.

in PEAK math it would be 1985

Won't be buying PEAK knowing that the devs are gross capitalists like that

Afraid that someone beat you to it by about 2 hours. Silver lining is at least that everyone has the same reaction to this.

The screenshot doesn't show its a joke. It's cut off

yes? this is so cool

$7.99 = $5 But due to the "Giant Penny" event it has to round up to $8. which is still $5. I never quite mastered math proofs in trig.

"Do you know if you were to cut that pie in half, and save half for later, then each half will become a whole?"

Bravo.

Reminds me of this Marx Brothers routine - www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhaD...

They are correct though! Everyone who thinks they are not convinced by this sort of pricing is a fool

They’re so right.

It's more about the fraction of your money you are left with after. If I only have $2/3 dollars left, I'm still broke.

Also 8 bucks is five bucks but 7 bucks is 10 bucks

They're so real for this

Am I the only one who sees a $8 price tag and sees $10 due to taxes? I always round up, always.

I can't find any way they're wrong, this was basically what happened in my head when I bought the game
