A price increase on Skull and Bones is the last thing this lackluster game needs in my opinion. I don’t mean to be biased, but piracy doesn’t look good. Everything indicates that there will not be much interest in this project. And now, after the price increase, it can be even lower.
Recall that the first game from Take-Two at a higher price was NBA 2K21 two years ago in August. They were followed by Activision, Sony, EA and Square Enix. The latter even sells some PC games for a higher price. Microsoft continues to keep the price lowprobably about the Xbox Game Pass subscription.
