Zenonia 2 on current phones Pc#
The PC version will be priced between $15 and $20 the mobile one will by necessity end up around $8-$10 because that is the ceiling that people seem willing to pay for games (and not a lot of them at that).įrom where I sit, the mobile market is largely quality-inelastic (unless you measure quality on 'reactivity of your Skinner box') and while I'm porting my game, I wouldn't bother otherwise if it wasn't solely a learning experience for me. I'm making a 2D JRPG right now - first wave of platforms being PC/Mac/maybe-Linux, second wave being mobile and tablet devices. The only people able to actually move units at a price point over $10 seems to be Square themselves, and even they're not doing a great job of it with that mind-boggling back catalog of games and name recognition to use to their advantage. Nobody's selling them because the few people who've tried to target an upmarket price point have failed miserably and the sort of investment needed to make a game "worth" $50 in the world of mobile games (filled with insane players who seem to think a dozen hours of gameplay isn't worth $3) would be a massive, massive risk. Are we waiting for NVidia Shield and Ouya, or is there some other reason why nobody is producing for this platform any new, original games of high quality that you would pay $50 for?

Nobody is doing it for Android or iOS as far as I can tell.
The consoles are still successful at selling new games for $50+. Is it because distribution channels are so much cheaper, and there aren't as many middle-men trying to take a cut? Is there some deficiency in the platform to explain why they /can't/ sell us games at the $50 price? Nobody is even targeting this price point. I'm just trying to understand why nobody is putting out NEW games that you would pay $50 for. I agree that you shouldn't pay $50 for a rehash of some old game that was never designed for touch, on a platform that doesn't provide really any other options for input control. I have a stack of them at home, I paid $50 in 1990's and 2000's money for them. I'm trying to understand why we're not interested in paying $50 for a game anymore.
I haven't been a gamer for a long time, other than some $2 and $5 games, so I'm on your side.
