While it looks interesting, I don't spend $30 on digital only, non-platinum games. Period.

I think the pricing is a major problem but I guess the game was too expensive them. I think they adjust the pricing in the future.

So...they expected the game to make a huge loss?

 I know right? I'm no business expert, but wouldn't you think you would release a game hoping to make a profit or find a way to make sure it does?

In basic terms their goal was 100k copies sold in a month and they have nearly completed that goal in a week. Now the problem is that they need triple that (Which is near 300k copies sold) to be profitable.

Well it isn't a outstanding good game and it is way to expensive - at least from my personal point of few. I had a few enjoyable hours with it but can't name it in my top lists - just average...

[Neef-GT5]

Currently playing it and so far I'm positively suprised, it's a quite interesting survival game and the story is really fascinating.

Not rly survival game... more like walking simulator (adventure game with stealth elements)
