"Frazier added, "We don't want to say 'it's almost done' and then dribble out more of it over time, which to be honest is how most games work these days. So we've tried to treat it in kind of an old-school approach saying 'You've paid the $40, this is the game and it's entirely self-contained. We're not planning to add more content, this is the game, as we hope you understand the value proposition.""
"The Daemon lied with every breath. It could not help itself but to deceive and dismay, to riddle and ruin. The more we conversed, the closer I drew to one singularly ineluctable fact: I would gain no wisdom here."
Strike Suit Zero for about 2, 4 all together with dlc and a spinoff "Strike Suit Infinity" (This is because they were gearing up to release the remastered version, and wanted to reel in suckers like myself. No regrets.)
I still have Project Sypheed on the docket, but I guess that's old now. As is Darkstar One.
Rebel Galaxy is much more recent, and its sequel more so. Both inexpensive and a lot of fun.
And Freespace 2 is always a go-to. Age doesn't matter, good is good.

So your point is that 30-year-old games are cheaper than games that are a month old?

Someone can't count, if he thinks 2015 was 30 years ago.

Or does 30 years ago begin in 2019? Please make up a chart for us normie who use a gregorian calendar.

The point is that "dude older games are cheaper" is a retarded take. They're older games- of course they're cheaper. If you are a real space sim fan you will have already played all those games, thus their price is irrelevant. Do you have brain damage? Do you ask why someone would ever buy the newest final fantasy when final fantasy 13 is $10? No, because that's a dumb line of reasoning.
You are a brainlet and your bloodline will die with you. Don't ever reply to me again.

But enjoy burning that strawman with your flaming ad hominems.

Don't try to throw around phrases like ad hominem as if you're intelligent enough to understand what they mean. You've already proven yourself to be a fool.

Everspace is not even a good example of the point.
In CAN dollars, its 32 bucks on GOG...Squadrons is $55 dollars. A difference of $20 bucks...but Everspace is 4 years old. I think maybe it was about 40-50 bucks at release.
I haven't played it but according to the spiel:
"Roguelike space shooter with persistent progression
Three player ships with in-depth upgrade and damage system
Captivating non-linear storytelling featuring interesting characters"
Sounds exactly similiar to Star Wars Squadrons...with less ships and no multiplayer, AI battles and the Stars Wars IP (which adds cost to the end product).
Squadrons will never see 10 dollars, not with the Star Wars brand and EA behind it.

The DLC was 4.99, which is pretty much mandatory as it adds a bunch of things to do outside the main quest, so over 10 dollars in total.

No. My reason is that 40 dollars isn't something I'm willing to pay, unless the experience warrants it.
I never would have bought Hollow Knight if I didn't catch a killer sale on it. Best 7 bucks I ever spent. But 40? Not happening. I'm still sore over spending 40-60 dollars on Mass Effect DLC on a SALE, **** price gouging.
I still enjoyed Mass Effect 1-3, but as far as I'm concerned no game is worth more then 20 bucks. Not for me.

Arguing from a games age is so pedantic. Nowhere was a games age even a factor.
The games quality relative to price was the only criteria. And from what I can see, Squadrons offers absolutely nothing that isn't done better in other games. Especially far older games like Tie Fighter.
I'll be enjoying Project Sylpheed, a quality space shooter and one of the best PC genre to console control schemes ever made.
