Brandon Adler, game director for The Outer Worlds 2, stated in a recent interview that Obsidian did not set the game's $80 price tag. He emphasized that players upset with the cost should direct their concerns to Microsoft, which has started pricing some games higher. This pricing trend is also seen with Nintendo and may influence other game publishers. Adler's sentiments resonate with Gearbox's Randy Pitchford, both expressing a desire for their games to be accessible while acknowledging the need for profitability to sustain development.
"We're a game developer. We love to make games. We don't set the prices for our games... you'd have to honestly talk to the Xbox folks."
"We're accountable to Microsoft for running a good business--a healthy business that continues to grow at both top line and bottom line. That's kind of a foundation for us."
