Around a week ago it was announced on the Incremental Games subreddit that when it releases, Clicker Heroes 2 is 30 dollars. This is a lot of money for an idle game, so I wonder, how much would you pay for an idle game?
Read the thread on Reddit here:
The game shown in the video is Remaya Idle. Check it out on Steam if you want, but I’d recommend against it:

29.05.2022I saw the game when it was first announced. When I discovered it was 30$ I decided to not play it.

TheMutantDuck
28.05.2022So how did Clicker Heroes 2 turn out after all this time? Did you like? do you think it was worth $30? It has HORRID reviews on steam, but I would love your thoughts on it.

28.05.2022They say that people spend thousands of dollars, makes them pay even more… LIKE WTF!!!

26.05.2022I would pay $8 if it was better than Universal Paperclips (my favorite incremental game). I'm not a fan of clicker games, tbh, I am fine with giving money but I'm not so sure about giving my time.

26.05.2022I can respect the decision out of not wanting micro transactions, but that's still a lot.

26.05.2022i would pay 5€. but well,gotta pay if i wanna play. i never paid for any f2p game yet except the kirbyf2p on 3ds,but if something cool would be on switch,then i would probably buy it if i really wanted it
boobehry

AngelTyraelGM
24.05.2022curently as someone who probably spent 5k hours on clicker heroes 1 obviously not real time but still alot more then i should , 2 doesnt offer proper ascensions/transcension , it literaly feels like u just continue slowly… i feel no progress in this game , after your first gild thats it you literaly gain nothing the 6 or howver many points you get dont actualy feel like anything , it boggles my mind that the same creators made it , very sad it looks incredible tho… but they should honestly delete most of the progresion and do something like full resets ascensions transcension again for me to even care anymore , couse right now gilds and progresion honestly gives you no sense of any progresion or anything i had a hard time beliving "wait is this it?" compared to clicker heroes where i never had this untill i reached like 200-300k levels and finaly stoped careing

24.05.2022I'm sorry but I'd almost never pay money for an Idle Game, like none at all. Are there some that may be worth at most a $5 price tag? Sure! But $30??? Are you SERIOUS? Nope. That's half the cost of a Triple A title that'd be newly release. That's actually more money than it costs to buy Fallout 4 GOTY Edition.
That's a game that's at least 10 times as engaging, has at least 10 times the content, and doesn't require me to "sit and wait" which, essentially, is a key mechanic of Idle Games. It's such a core mechanic that you end up paying to speed it up during most F2P games.
So, instead of having the option to pay to sit and wait less, were now being required to pay just to sit and wait the standard amount- not even to speed it up!
I know they talked about how the nagging feeling of F2P games is that idea of "I could pay slightly more for better" and also the idea of addiction, but let's get real here folks.
If you, as a designer, don't like the fact that you're dangling micro transactions over your fans heads and you're in the Idle F2P genre… then leave the Idle F2P genre. Make a new game. Charging a flat out price tag for an Idle game is so much worse. So, so, so much worse.
Furthermore, regarding people's addictions. It's just like any other form of addiction- like gambling or alcohol- it is that person's responsibility to get help, not your responsibility to dampen the experience for everyone. If that person has a problem with overspending on games, then they should learn to limit themselves rather than the designer restrain themselves and everyone else.
That's just my thoughts on it. I personally will not be playing Clicker Heroes 2 and will instead be Savin my $30 for a better game or possibly multiple games.

24.05.2022The price point will at the very least delay my purchase. It’s dumb to invest in a game these days before knowing what you are getting. Thanks EA
Paul Sheenius
24.05.2022Dont know how many hundreds of euros i put into idle games and i would do it again without any remorse. So I would go for those 30 dollars without any question if it was for the phone. Got people in my guild who put 20k+ alone into idle heroes, 30€ isnt even change compared to that. I spend based on hours of fun, and you sink in thousands of hours into such a game, so dont be a beggar and spend some money.

24.05.2022I mean it costs as much as Gta V right now ;D

24.05.2022I bought The Witcher 3 Game of the Year Edition for €15. It's $15 in US. You can buy 2 copies of that instead of this crappy game.

24.05.2022I only found out during the 2019 Summer Steam sale, but the people who made Time Clickers are now doing the same thing. On Steam there is an early release game called Time Warpers which start out as a wave FPS before becoming your typical idle game.

23.05.2022an idle game should always be free

23.05.2022I would pay 10$, maybe 15$ for CH2 and ONLY because I respect the devs more for trying to move away from microtransactions. The price/value comparison to other games is extremely fair, IMO. The number one comparison that comes to mind for me is Terraria, which was 10$, has been getting massive content updates for 9 years now, and I've sunk nearly 200 hours into.
I've seen a few mobile games (a really fun but grindy tower defense game comes to mind) have a mechanic that I also highly respect. The game is free to play, but built and designed around a progression speed that is 2 to 4x faster once you've made a single one time purchase of 2$ to 10$ This is basically the same model as the old shareware games.

23.05.2022It's really weird now too with games like Legends of Idleon coming out for free on multiple platforms and being developed by a much smaller team (being basically one person). Clicker Heroes asking price just seems more and more like a joke and I was one of the people originally defending it ironically. There is a just too many people in the market with way better games made with passion that are free to justify their scummy price now.

23.05.20220. i would rather it not be made if you are trying to make money out of it.

23.05.2022The game has officially stopped development without reaching full release, so it didn't really work out for them.

23.05.2022Hey man, I've been enjoying your content as I've found you recently. This might not matter so much now but there is a part of your video where you wonder why someone would spend money upfront on an idle game. Personally, the reason why I would spend money on an idle game (which I've done about 3 times) is because an idle game that you pay upfront for tends to not have in game currency, which means the game is designed to waste less time in order to complete. The 3 idle games that I have purchased were relatively cheap (ranging from $2 – $7). I was able to complete these games within the span of a few days or a few hours or a week. Personally, I prefer this kind of idle game because I like the idea of incremental progression, but I don't want to spend 100s or 1000s of hours on a game.
Enjoying your content. Keep up the good work!

23.05.2022@ingeniousclown gaming at 8 mins ur asking for the reasoning i played the game its pretty much the only idle game ive ever played w a skill tree similar to poe's, and the reason they cant bring your save into new updates is because theyve done 2 different updates now one making a new character w a new skill tree and then the next update they reworked both skill trees entirely so now theres 4 u can play but the old ones arent as good as their new one imo people should really try before all this speculation tho nothing inheritantly wrong w it but this game did so bad aand i have no clue why it was very intricate.

23.05.202230 dollars for clicker game? What a joke. I don't know what quality it must be to justify that price tag.
