Mad Max Game Released; Movies on Steam

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment announces the release of Mad Max, and we can now get behind the wheel in Avalanche Studios' new game based on the hard-driving movie series. This is available in stores and via digital distribution, and taking the theme further, in addition to the game, Steam now offers the ability to buy all the movies in the series, including Mad Max: Fury Road, the recently released installment that's become an instant classic. Here's word on the game:
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment today announced that Mad Max, the open-world, third-person action game developed by Avalanche Studios and set in a post-apocalyptic setting, is now available for PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, Xbox One and Windows PC.

The Mad Max video game introduces an original story set within the universe of Mad Max and features deep car customization that impacts its handling, metal-grinding vehicular action and gives players a vast arsenal of mobile weaponry within The Wasteland. Players become Max, the lone warrior who must fight to stay alive by engaging in vicious on-ground fighting, as well as physics-based vehicular combat, against savage factions who are fighting for domination and survival in this gritty, dynamic open-world.

LOL. Apparently I wasn't the only one that thought the pricing was messed up. Today I see on Steam that Mad Max has dropped to $60 CDN.

Which makes me curious...is it still the same price in AUS and the US? Or did their prices drop too?

Any place where you have to pay insurance to make sure your purchase is valid on a video game is a fucking scam to someone, somewhere.

If not me, then who is it a scam against? Back up your statements. Why should the business and the purchaser not protect themselves against the occasional illegitimate seller? It would be stupid not to.

Lol and no not everyone in the industry hates those sites. Maybe Execs do, but most devs won't give a rats ass because it's not going to effect their wage. In fact many people (devs too) I know use those sites because they don't want to waste $60 on undeserving titles.

Most devs I know aren't so loyal to companies as to want to save money themselves...especially when those companies have no problem dumping their employees after each completed game.

I don't know how many times people have told you this is wrong, because the average salary is much, much higher here (and this is what the devs get paid in!)

So either they charge so little that people in Russian, China, etc., can afford it, and then they do not make enough money to pay their employees, or they charge so much that people in those countries cannot afford it, and then they get pirated there.

It isn't a hard concept, you're just one of many Westerners obsessed with areas you feel like you're disadvantaged while gleefully ignoring all the more important ones you're advantaged. You can afford a gallon of milk easier than the Russian people? So fucking what, Mad Max costs twice as much, this is a travesty!

There's a reason everyone in the industry hates those sites, developers included. Of course maybe if the industry fixed its regional pricing model it wouldn't have these problems.

My problem with that stance is that as a consumer, you are telling me that I shouldn't shop at the cheapest stores. G2A has region locked games, you have to be careful what you buy. SOMEONE bought the key, and are now reselling. Leave it alone, it is a free market.

I can get everything cheaper at Amazon - should I not buy my things from there? Am I going to be told where I can buy stuff now?

Yes. You are gonna be told, and you're gonna LIKE IT! 'Cos thats just how the world works today. And you better not complain, because that is some seditious traitorous shit right there!

I wouldn't say don't buy there but as jacobvandy says, be aware of the risks. Keys bought with stolen credit cards shouldn't be in the free market. I'm not aware of any publisher calling customers of these sites thieves.

Ok, thieves is a strong word, but some consider this one step above piracy (wouldn't know what to search for). Companies do not want you buying from "unauthorized" sellers for one reason, they don't make as much money as if you had purchased the game from a major market store (Steam, Uplay, Origin, etc).

Stolen Credit Cards are one thing. And that is a slippery slope when taking it out on your customers that spent real money. They still are your customers, whether they paid $5 or $50, like it or not. Completely within their rights to yank serial numbers, but not good business. Ubisoft learned that the hard way at the beginning of this year.

In the case of the Ubisoft fiasco, that was keys bought from the EA Store using a stolen credit card and resold elsewhere. There are easy systems to put in place to prevent mass buying of a product (that shouldn't be mass purchased) online using a Credit Card. That was a fail on EA's part, not Kinguin or G2A.

CDPR wouldn't sell keys to GMG to sell Witcher 3. GMG went and bought keys from a legitimate reseller. Perfectly legit serials, and CDPR had a fit. My guess on this at the time was CDPR didn't want GMG undercutting their price on GoG, which was the cheapest at the time.

Not all serials on sites like Kinguin, G2A, etc are "stolen", in fact I'd guess very few. Most are bought from legitimate resellers in other countries where the Publishers know they can't sell games for $60. So instead of selling legit keys for $20-$30 like they do in the major markets, they sell them for $5-$10 (making up numbers). To the Publishers, making a little money is better than making no money due to piracy. Due to competition from other resellers, the list price is forced down. And it's the internet...so there is nothing to stop people from using these keys in markets they weren't intended for.

When it comes to G2A, they have the insurance option. So really there is no reason not to use them. Generally however, if you buy from a reseller with 100% rating, you won't have any problems. Also, when it comes to the preorders they have on new games. The keys aren't stolen. How could they be? So what all of this boils down to is, if you aren't going to maintain fair pricing in your major markets, then people are going to seek out the better deals.

I honestly was a little wary of using G2A at first. But I have yet to have an issue with any of my purchases from there. Choose a good reseller, this may mean paying $1 over the cheapest price and pay the G2A Shield insurance. So when Publishers want to charge $67 to me in Canada, $60 to someone in the AUS, or $38 from GMG in Britain and I can get the same game on release day for $20 from G2A; all for the exact same thing, it's an easy choice.

You can buy the keys wherever you want, just don't be surprised if it turns out you get it revoked. Simple as that.

There's a difference between "saving a few bucks" like buying something from Amazon compared to Best Buy and buying it at a ridiculously low price from the digital equivalent of some dude's van in a dark alley. That's called "too good to be true," and you might have the cops knocking on your door a few days later asking questions about it.

You are not a consumer, with the rights that that relationship with the producer entails, when you're not buying the product from sanctioned sources.

I'll tell you what, when WB finally patches Batman AK and gives me a free season pass I'll pay the rest of the balance to US Retail Price.

If WB and Avalance games patches in stuff to make this game suck less (HOLD BUTTON, Only climb on yellow stuff, crappy mini-cutscenes) then I'll start slowly start paying them the rest of the retail cost.

Because games with no multiplayer or long shelf life (mods) seem to go really cheap at Key selling sites, even with pre-orders. Go take a look at the single player games on those sites and unless they are AAA titles the vast majority go dirt cheap.

Star Citizen has an arena module and a social module. Until proven otherwise it has the depth of a used tampon dispenser.

Ouch. Don't hold back now. Tell us how your really feel.

This is the 1st time I've said how I've felt about Star Citizen beyond they really need someone like Derek Smart suggested and figure out wtf is going on with the project and keep them in line/accountable.

But when some idiot likes to compare 1 game, vs another game that isn't even in Alpha or Beta (and sadly is spiraling out of control) I just have to say something.

Do they call us thieves? I've never seen that.

Do you pay $65 CAD for an AAA game when the CAD is strong and $65 when it's weak? If so, then you're not the one being affected by the currency's strength.

No. Regular price is $60 for a AAA game. Dollar has been slipping in the last year, so yes the prices have adjusted. I wouldn't call this a AAA game though. There is no consistency in pricing. MGS is $75. Blops3 is $80. That's not really what I was pointing out though. I was pointing out that it was $60 in a region where the dollar is weaker, while being more expensive in a region the dollar is stronger. It doesn't make logical sense.

And yes they call people thieves for using third party sites to get cheaper games. Several companies have taken away games from customers that purchased on sites like G2A claiming they weren't legit keys. Or how about CDPR initially squabbling with GMG over selling Witcher 2 claiming they weren't selling valid keys.

I don't care though. I haven't lost a game I purchased on G2A yet (only a few) and I always pay the insurance. $2 for Watch Dogs (that I haven't played yet), can't beat that.

Unless prices have gone up globally then yes, you're bearing the brunt it. The Australia pricing doesn't seems to make sense at all. I don't begrudge them getting a cheap game for once but that's not the point

I think that publishers get an unfair reputation with some of those keys and AFAIK they have never said anything like that people using these sites are thieves. I don't know the ins-and-outs of all of these controversies but in the case of Far Cry 4 keys from G2A, those keys were bought using stolen credit cards. People who bought the keys weren't called thieves, they were treated as what they were: people who bought illegitimate produce. The victims of the crime shouldn't have had to give people who took a risk to save a few bucks a free copy of their product. Really, if you buy from a site that offers insurance to guard against what they're listing being a scam, you should really expect that sometimes you're going to buy into a scam.

My problem with that stance is that as a consumer, you are telling me that I shouldn't shop at the cheapest stores. G2A has region locked games, you have to be careful what you buy. SOMEONE bought the key, and are now reselling. Leave it alone, it is a free market.

C'mon...you're meaning to tell me you prefer to play racing and platforming games with a M/KB over a controller? I find that very hard to believe. Some games are easier to control with a M/KB and some are easier to control with a controller. There's no need to be a "PC Master Race" elitist.

For those kinds of games, yes. But for a game like this, the developer needs to put in the effort to make sure the port works well with a M/KB. It sounds from the comments that they may not have, and that's unacceptable.

Despite being a PC only gamer since the early 80s, I used to get frustrated when space sim fans started demanding mouse M/KB support. Then again, I understood that it comes in handy when to broke for a stick (my first month of wing commander 2). Now, I use an Orbweaver and have used a variation on the topic since they've been out. Stick or Dpad for WASD is the only way to go for me. The Orbweaver is over price but those cherry MX switches are as good as they say. I can aim with wasd or the mouse. Those types of devices are mixture of gamepad/joystick and keyboard so support for both is required for these devices to work as intended.

Strait up driving games, space sims, mech games or flight sims, I would only play with a stick or wheel. This game, Orbweaver and Rat 7 mouse.

The way I see it, buying games from G2A is legal, but a d*ck move and a terrible idea. You're giving less money to the developer than he should be getting. Less money than the official value of their game. The reason why the game is so cheap in countries like Russia, is that Russians couldn't buy the game otherwise. If they'd have to pay in US dollars, games would probably cost more than the price of a console for them. So essentially, game devs are making the game available to them at a low price because low price is better than no sale. If you hate a developer and you want him to go under, then I guess that buying a G2A key is ok, but it would be better to just NOT buy the game... If you like the developer and the game, then it would be better to pay close to full price and support them and their future games.

$59.99 USD here in USA.

Greenman Gaming is 40% off through today.

CDKeys is 19.99 (works on Steam).


Get it as cheap as you can. DO NOT PAY FULL PRICE.

Annnnd, I broke down and bought it after watching some streaming. $18.99, couldn't beat that with a stick.

I would be happier had I paid that price....I paid $38 and feel I over payed. Although it does fall under my Value=$/Hours, it just doesn't GRAB me like I had expected it to....

DLC I am sure......

I forget, do these games have multiplayer components? Batman, Shadow over Mordor, Assassin's Creed, since Mad Max seems to take a lot of inspiration from those. I don't own Shadow, and I don't recall for the others, since I'm largely a SP gamer.
