If you believe that the higher price will stop these practices then I feel sorry for you.
EA, Ubisoft, Activision etc will 100% continue these practices and Sony have just given them the perfect excuse to gouge the price on that console. It’s already happening...
^ includes “full game” + London dissident pack. How lucky to have the chance to have receive such wonderful cosmetic gifts.
These are the launch editions of watchdogs:
Standard Edition
• Watch Dogs: Legion (Game).
Gold Edition
• Watch Dogs: Legion (Game).
• SEASON PASS.
UPLAY+ Edition
• Watch Dogs: Legion (Game).
• SEASON PASS.
• ULTIMATE PACK (except VIP Status).
Ultimate Edition
• Watch Dogs: Legion (Game).
• SEASON PASS.
• ULTIMATE PACK.
The “ultimate pack” includes playable characters and items you can’t unlock in the standard game as well as a four week momentary boost to the single and co-op game. Pay. To. Win.
1st party developers will also do exactly the same.
This isn’t pro-consumer move by Sony. It’s the way they’re able to recoup their losses by under pricing their digital edition (And probably even the disc edition) to match Microsoft. The digital edition will just lock people into a miserable existence of price gouging for the entire generation.
At least Xbox have game pass with over 100 completely free games at any time, including all first party releases. Any game on game pass is also 20% cheaper if you want to buy it when it’s leaving game pass. This is a pro-consumer move and makes a digital edition Xbox a viable console of choice.
TLDR: Sony are cunts and people continue to make excuses for them
