Sabers CEO doesn’t think $70 a game is sustainable

But still seems to be planning to put the price on Space Marine 2.

Saber manager Matthew Karch last week moved out in defense by Embracer and Lars Wingefors, and then believed that the criticism of the Swedish gaming giant (to which Saber belonged until recently) had been unfairly harsh.

Now he is back with new statements, and this time it is, among other things, gambling prizes he has in the shooting window. In an interview with IGN he says that Saber is a publisher somewhere between indie and AAA, and that Helldivers 2 is a good example of what they want to aim for in terms of quality.

Game prices have in recent years begun to creep upwards, and more and more people are adopting $70 as the price of their big games, rather than $60. Karch doesn’t think that’s sustainable in the long run, but says that companies will start taking fewer risks and try to find ways to lower costs, without necessarily reducing the quality of their games. AI can play its role in that, but according to Karch, sky-high budgets and protracted development times of many years will disappear.

Despite this, it does not seem impossible to Space Marine 2 will cost exactly $70, because Karch is afraid that people will think that a lower price implies lower quality.
