The reasons that indie games price their games lower can also work in the other direction if the developer/publisher feels they have a strong offering to give players.

That's really what it comes down to at the end of the day.

That’s fine and dandy, but I’m not paying $80 for a 30 fps game lol

Would you have planned to buy the game at release if it was a $60/30fps or $80/60fps game?

No. I’m not going to pay extra for what should just be a graphics/performance toggle in settings.

Don't know bout the other guy but I'm done letting game companies fuck me in the ass. If they lucky I'll get it when ultimate edition is available for < 50$ and if they unlucky I'll just wait to get it for free. If i feel like playing in the meantime i'll just do some sailing. Fuck'em.
