Players can start thinking that $ 20 is an adequate price for indie game.
Indy developers do not like the Hollow Knight price tag: Silksong / Photo – Team CherryHollow Knight: Silksong for $ 20 has caused a turbulent reaction in the indi community. The developers fear that such a price tag will fix the players of expectations that projects of this level should be cheap.
The doubts were voiced by the authors of Unbeatable and Dorfromantik. UNBEATABLE GEMIR Director Robert Jay Lake said Bluesky that Team Cherry can afford any cost, because the project will still pay off.
But the very fact of the Silksong release for $ 20, in his opinion, creates a false feeling in the audience that other large -scale indie should cost the same amount:
“Honestly, Silksong should cost $ 40 and I’m not kidding at all. The low price is not bad, but the consequences will be, and not all of them will be positive.”
Toukana Interactive, known for Dorfromantik, also worries that their future Star Birds, made by a large team, will be compared with Silksong.
In Basti Games, where they work on Lone Fungus: Melody of Spores, and completely raised the issue of discussion with players: how to evaluate the project if Silksong costs $ 20.
Fans also believe that small studios should have their own pricing policy. According to them, Team Cherry could put a price tag $ 40, but deliberately made the game more accessible. For smaller indie teams, on the contrary, it is fair to keep a price tag in the area of $ 20, even if the shoes are more modest in scale.
Earlier, we said that the creator of Stardew Valley voiced the character in Hollwwht: Silksong, but not admitting whom. Eric Baron does not want to spoil a surprise to players.
