Yea, but here, that 60 bucks also gets you the full macOS version of that game.
For sure, it is pretty steep by itself if you only game on mobile, but if you look at it as including a version for your handheld when you buy it for PC… it’s pretty much what Steam already does with the Steamdeck, which makes sense to me.
Now the price itself, yea, I find it a bit expensive, even on PC/Steam and I’ll probably wait to grab it on sale one day.
Yeah, I guess if you own an iPhone and a Mac there’s more appeal. I see the prices for things on my son’s Switch and he’s not old enough to want the really expensive stuff yet, and you don’t even get a desktop version there.
I think my original point stands though - that having “you buy it and then you play it” games on mobile is not a new concept.
