How much is any given game worth? It’s an interesting question as a developer.
Someone in marketing obviously worked out the RRP. They based it on other games of the same genre, the hype surrounding it, how much of it is new and how much was borrowed from another game. They must have chosen between £45 and £50 for the Xbox 360 version, setting a higher price for the special-edition version with exclusive DLC and a life-sized replica of a dead frog.
So how much is the game worth? The answer may seem controversial, but I think it is simple…
Any game is worth only what the buyer / player is willing to pay for it, even if they happen to be a pirate.
