The developers of PEAK, explaining how they decided on pricing for their game.

For me:
Under 100₴ - free
100₴ - 300₴ - it must be worth it for me to buy it.
More than 300₴ - i will never finacially recover from this purschase.
I have never seen that symbol before. What currency is that!?
Edit: it’s the Ukrainian hryvnia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hryvnia_sign

You just reminded me of a time when $70 felt like nearly unlimited opportunities. Now, $70 means that I might get to buy groceries AND restock on spices.
Bruh a single bag of groceries is like 110 rn

We supposedly evolved to perceive values logarithmically. The difference between 1 to 3 should feel bigger than 3 to 5. Yet, the difference between $5 and $10 feels to me way more than the difference between $1 and $5.
Maybe I'm just broke as shit and think $10 is a lot of money

8 bucks is definitely 10 bucks in my book. 6.99 is 5 but above that and I start thinking 10.

60+: Haha, I can't imagine it's worth it.
20-59: Buy if it comes strongly recommended.
10-19: Impulse buy if the description and screenshots look cool.
1-9: Buy if I like the store thumbnail.
0: Hahaha FUCK no this will hold the game flow hostage every few hours to get me to pay infinite money.
EDIT: YES I know proper - often Open Source - free games exist.

Nah. But I think the difference in this specific case is that if you're already kinda wanting to buy something and it's 8 dollars, you might convince yourself that it's basically just 5 dollars to justify the purchase.

8 is 10 but 7.99 is 5
Nah it's still ten, especially if you grew up in a place that doesn't include tax in the price. That's easily getting to mid 8 after tax, and that might as well be ten.

Unfortunately up here the Benjamins to beaver bucks conversion rate sucks. And then we have to pay 15% tax on top.
So anything that’s trying to follow that logic breaks apart real quick, even when there’s 10% off on launch, still comes out to more than the full price would be..

I found a pizza place near me that still has like 2010 prices. It's like a large pie with 5 toppings for $20. Most places are more like $30 now, here (NYC)

Sorry, I meant an extra $70. I was irresponsibly drowsy-posting.

I'm Canadian, so I instinctively just round 5 bucks up to 8 bucks instead (adding exchange and tax)

OpenTTD and good ol' Nethack are my favesFor me it's
1-4 might buy and never play it
4-12 eh if it's got good reviews and it's my genre it's a potential impulse buy
12-25 it's got to be very acclaimed and I have to desire it strongly
25-35 if it's like the sequel of a game I loved A LOT, and has good reviews, and it gets me on a good day
35+ no way, I'll wait for a discount -

For me, the price listed is the price listed. If it's $5, it's $5. $8 is $8, etc.
This kind of ratio would just confuse me otherwise.
