Digital Frosthaven Is Frosthaven Digital (and also Gloomhaven Digital) even more niche because of its price?
Wanted to get the 1.0 edition, but then I noticed the price of the game and that if I wanted to play with friends, I would have to pay SO MUCH MONEY.
Maybe regional pricing (I am Polish) is hitting hard, but comparing the games to other digital releases or even tabletop sim, it just doesn't seem that worth it.
Most people won't even finish the full game, so not only you have to spend a lot of money, but also your friends just must not like the game and can't refund it because well... each scenario takes a long while.
I understand that this is a GIANT game and pricing it as low as base root digital would be completely insane, but this high of a price must be some kind of error? I also hear that there are still desync issues and crashes, which with such a high price of entry, I would be fuming if the game was not working.
I am not a economics nerd, more of a math person combined with artistic flare and a love for TTRPGS and board games. I love both JoTL and Gloomhaven on TTS, so this seems like... such a big shock for me. I hope I am in the wrong and this is actually not that high of a price point for others.
