Please don't see this as a whine or F2P entitlement thread. I don't expect anything to be handed to me on a silver platter.
 
I payed the beta a bit, and really enjoyed the game. But I didn't buy the game, mostly because of bad word of mouth, I rather wanted to wait it out. A few days ago I received a 7 day pass for my beta contribution, so I gave the game a go again. While it is great, what puts me off is that price tag. $60 in my currency comes down to almost R700, which is quite steep. I'm not sure how hard it hits other people, but to me that seems really pricey.
 
Now the thing is, I really like the whole CREDD system. It really draws me to play this game. But sadly I wont be buying it htough, because of the $60 dollar entry fee. Is it putting as many people off as it does me? It just feels too out there, and I think lowering it or doing a sale might draw more people to the game.

60USD is pretty standard for a video game these days. Regardless of what you or anyone thinks, time and money was invested in this game. The costs of production, advertising, licensing, and creating are far more than can ever be redeemed with a 60USD sticker price. This is why most company offer DLC, subscriptions, or a cash shop. Those purchases are almost 100% profit.
 
Equate this situation to a car dealership. A new car almost never generates profit for a dealership. This is why they all have their own maintenance and additional things you can buy (swag, warranties, insurance, etc).

			I might be showing my age but I pretty surprised the price of premium games hasn't risen a lot more over the past 2 decades. I remember spending $70+ to buy Super Street Fighter 2 for SNES when it came out. Sure, it was a bit more pricey than other games on the same platform but I gladly paid it. I think most games were $49-$59 at that point. So, things haven't really budged and a some of them have even gone down. I think $60 to get through the door with a month of play is a fair asking price. Hell, I can't even count the number of single player games I have paid $60 for and wiped out in less than a week or two, let alone a month.What would worry me would be if it was $60+sub+cash shop. Then I would be seriously unhappy.Just my two cents ;)

NCSoft tends not to have sale prices on things "just because"That means they'll hold off on a price cut until the holiday season, or until an expansion is announced.

The game is actually 45$ and your included month is fixed in the 60$ price tag.

Actually since you can find the game for $45 easily, does that mean the box price is actually $30? :P
----
			Considering you get the first month with the game it's not overpriced.

What you are asking for though is precisely free to play isnt it? So it is a F2P whine
 
Box price is fine and perfectly standard, I wouldnt risk taking that out just to get more players because that sends a worse message, meaning they dont believe in their game to sell at a standard box price anymore. 
 
Any new game now from any console is 59.99, its the meta price for all new releases now and ones that intend to stay.

Be happy you're at least participating in the PC Master Race. Any new console game will cost you more.
 
EDIT: Box price that is.

			You get a month free and $60 is pretty standard.  I think it is a fair price for a game that has been in development for 9 years.  Also there is no need to buy a deluxe edition like with ESO.  Spend $80 or you walk around for 50+ levels, ridiculous.

			GW2 had heaps of sales on the box price after launch. I hope we see Wildstar discounted significantly (after Drop 3) so more people experience the game for themselves rather than rely on the atrocious narrative that has been created in the marketplace.

Cept you need to subby with a CCard to get your free month. 
 
Even when they were handing out free beta keys, I had to buy the box, AND start a subby from CCard in before I was allowed to beta test!
(Then a 20% and 2x $2 for transferring into USA$ also bit on top)
