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.

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.

They have no problem charging a lot less money in Russia, China, Mexico, et al. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. We deserve the same break or fuck them.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

That one line is enough to make it a no buy. M/KB should always be the main and equal to or better than adding console controller.(as well as the console save system).
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.

Mad Max is listed at $59.99 USD on steam for me (AU). Is it the same price for the US?

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.

Seems like wasted potential being single player only. Could be a fun Multiplayer game playing CTF or something like Rocket league in the wasteland.

DLC I am sure......
