random thought of the night : how much would you pay for Warframe?

[mikakor]

Let's pretend that from a Thanos snap of fingers, the game becomes priced. No more micro transaction, everything only get obtained through hard and fair bring between everyone. You will eventually get everything with time.

Howmmuch would you be willing to pay? 10? 20?

30 would be my max. 40 if I'm nice, but not above.

What would be your price?

Crystal left the chat to sleep.

 

[Autongnosis]

Well uh i think my expenses currently hover at about 30 to 40 € per month or so, considering PA accessories, vaults and tennogen stuff, soooo... 

[Me.KayOh]

If it were buy to play, I would have never played it.

Same, and still, I've probably spent more than the price it could have had if it was b2p

[kuchn]

in hindsight, if i had known how good it was...60€

if you'd ask me to pay anything now i'd simply laugh.

[(PSN)Mono-Pop]

As much as other triple A games charge on release. $60-80 depending on region.

But if that was the case, we would trade prime warframes for a better new player experience. 

Without Micro’s we would’ve had les substantial updates over the years, and content would’ve probably dried up a few years ago.

I think warframe as a traditional game would look extremely different. Maybe even unrecognisable.

There's a lot more game than just Warframe.

[Dreadwire]

Imagine you have 1000 usd as your monthly salary.

You would have to pay 250 usd for a standard edition for one game.

.

That's how all the game price in my country for a standard 60$ game.

So yeah. I can't afford warframe. Let alone anthem

That sounds terrible....

On topic, as some have said, probably never would've tried the game in the first place.

[FlusteredFerret]

If you mean what would I pay for a "finished" version 1.0 of the game, ideally I'd fork out £40-50...£60 at a push.

If you mean what would I pay per month in subscription fees, I think £10-15 would be very reasonable, but I'd go to £20.

 

[Leyvonne]

I'd pay AAA price no questions asked and wouldn't mind having cosmetic items for sale on top of that to further support DE. I actually chose to spend my left over Christmas money to buy Mesa Prime Access instead of buying Anthem or Resident Evil 2 Remake. No regrets.

[DreisterDino]

If the fact that Warframe would cost money would mean that the Content is actually in a state you could call finished - 50-60€ definetly. For me that means:

• Open Worlds that deserve the name, so NPC's with real story elements, good variation and gameplay in Bounties, Bossfights ands large-scale-missions
• actual high-level content always available besides the Sortie (Fissures, Bounties, Starchart,...)
• fleshed out gameplay and gamedesign (in regards to enemy-scaling, difficulty, things like Damage 3.0, Shield-Gating etc)
• they can still sell Tennogen and other cosmetics in this case to keep producing content

 

If the question is "what would you pay for the game in its current state?", the answer would probably 20€ or so. Because:

• lots of unadressed problems
• lots of good ideas, but only a few seem to be finished
• too repetitive gameplay
• in general, problems that an Alpha/Beta/Early Access titel has

Shut up and take my money!

well, the fact that it's free is what got me curious in the first place, but considering what the industry thinks passes for $60 of content (barren Live services such as Anthem), then I guess Warframe must be worth at least twice that. knowing what the game is like now, I reckon full price wouldn't have been hard to swallow, since Warframe has so much more content than a lot of other games. I for one have paid £60 on games that turned out to have a lot less going on (Anthem) and I'd say if I paid that for Warframe I wouldn't be disappointed by the result; I've definitely got my money's worth.

as for the price I'd prefer, around £30 is where I would want it to be, but unfortunately nowadays the industry keeps charging more for less, just throw the game out now and fix it later, so as a result I don't buy a lot of new games since they're usually overpriced for what they are and we don't get the kind of store discounts that Steam does (would be nice). anyway, better switch off the industry rant or else I'll be typing all day..

I would say around 20-30 USD because warframe is not a AAA game

I would pay $60 if warframe meets the criteria :

1. Beautiful Graphics that make most graphics cards sweat 

2. Cosmetics that can be earned through grinding (like Anthem)

3. Dedicated Servers instead of p2p

4. The Game is not Pay to Win

5. Long term support (if it's a live service game)

I....can't tell if serious or not. If serious......

1. already done, they could make it look better, but want everyone to be able to play. Besides, the games you mentioned dont look much better, if at all, and cost more performance for little to no gain over WF

2. isnt that already a thing? if not by extension of farming for plat?

3. we have those, dont we?

4. the game isnt pay to win lmao

3. three twice, and we have that too, lol

[(PSN)Viveeeh]

Interesting question, I wouldn't even have considered buying it. A looter shooter is so far from my usual tase in games, I probably would have found a relatively small amount of money too much. Now that I know the game, I'd say I'd spend usual AAA quality game's price on it, somewhere around 70 Euros.

[ranks21]

none I wouldn't buy or pay to play, it has nothing of substance that's worth it as it is now. story mode is my biggest buying point in any game.

[AzureTerra]

would have waited till it was on sale somewhere, very rarely buy any game full price these days.

[Syppolina]

Beyond how much I spent on this game?

I guess if they just sold the game for 25-30 dollar in order no further pay needed  then I would like just bought the game.

[Anshdrop5]

Around about 30 to 50$$ because everything in warframe is technically farmable or tradable. 

[Falconer777]

If in the game were:
1. Normal auction.
2. Normal PvP.
3. Good endgame.
4. The ability of mobs to provide at least some resistance at high levels.
5. Less bullet-jumps and other acrobatics.
6. Regular updates of the storyline - that is, new quests.
7. Regular updates of game mechanics, new missions, new enemies.

Then 40 - 60 dollars is quite reasonable for me the price of the game.
In the current state - I have already spent exactly as much as I thought was necessary, and I do not like the mechanics of F2P, which force me to constantly  spend money for a comfortable game.

[ZahielTheDreamer]

Now I've played it, I'd pay for it on sale eventually (generally don't buy games without sales) but it wouldn't have been a priority if I hadn't experienced it. It's very different to most games I enjoy so I might not have taken the plunge if it came with an upfront cost.
