Who Will Pay for the Watchmen?
Speaking at the Nordic Games Conference, Soren Lund, director of the two Watchmen downloadable episodes, recently expressed his concern over Warner Brother’s overpricing of the initial episode. Lund believes the $20 price tag was too steep for gamers.
However, Lund believes that the overpricing was due to inexperience on Warner Brothers part.
“[They] didn’t have any previous knowledge as to what would be the right price point.
“I think it’s a shame that Warner priced it at $20. It should’ve been max $15; ideally $10.”
Lund concedes that he hopes part 2, which is considerably smaller than the first, comes in around $10.
“We have maybe a little over half the size of [the first] game, so I would expect them to put it out at about half price. But then you could argue whether two hours for $10 isn’t too much also.”
Watchmen: The End is Nigh Part 2 is set to hit the PSN sometime next month. A blu-ray retail release is scheduled for next month as well, and both episodes will be packaged with the extended version of the movie.

20 was way to much, I would have paid 10. I’m getting the blu-ray extended version if they don’t overprice it.
i would have gladly payed 10 for the game but no more. 20 bucks is a rip off
ill probably pick up the complete experience… a $30 blu ray movie plus both episodes for $20 doesnt sound too bad.
This is a very true statement on being way too overpriced. The game was cool and all but its not gonna sell for 20 dollars… 10 dollars is a great selling point!!!
I have to say that I really enjoyed the first episode but do agree that it was overpriced.
What I really appriciate is when a company listens and learns, the fact that ep 2 will be cheaper (though not as large a game) AND they’re including both with the upcoming movie release really impresses me and makes me glad I supported them in the first place.
I would hope it would be cheaper
I’m just getting the Blu-Ray
