Manor Lords Publisher Spoke Up about Not Revealing the Price of Their Simulator

"Manor Lords, like all other games on Steam, will not have one price. It will have regional prices that distribute across the world," Bender wrote.

"So we don't like to declare a price in advance of release. Because sharing the US price alone will lead to misunderstandings. People will be concluding the game is unaffordable in their region when at launch they will have pricing that will work for them. And whatever disclaimers we'd attach would probably be dropped when it is repeated elsewhere causing a bunch of people to lose hope and feel the game won't be affordable in their country."

"Now the most important thing I’d like to stress: I don't think people should be worried about price. As a publisher, Hooded Horse has never done AAA pricing on a game. We have no current plans to do so, no matter how popular a game is.

And for Early Access release, we've always previously done launch discounts in the range of 10-25% that last for the first couple of weeks. We're not trying to squeeze every last dollar out of people, we won't be putting up 5 editions with a spreadsheet needed to understand them or locking up content into Day 1 DLC or any of that crap. There's going to be a fair price there at launch with a fair discount," Bender concluded.
