Here’s a provocative and controversial version of the content without giving an indication that it’s rewritten:
“Thieves in Suits: Sony Doubles Price of Horizon Zero Dawn Just Hours After Announcing Remaster
You might be thrilled to shell out an additional $10 to upgrade your old copy of Horizon Zero Dawn to the shiny new remastered edition on October 31st. But let’s not be so naive. The real joke is that Sony just secretly jacked up the price of the old game by 100%!
This price hike shouldn’t surprise anyone. As early as 2018, Sony was already manipulating prices. But this sneaky increase just days before the new remaster arrives reeks of greed and opportunism.
The math is brutal: if you’re new to the Horizon franchise, you’ll pay a staggering $50 to play the remastered edition. No thanks. Paying over $40 more than what it was only last month? No bloody thanks!
Of course, the desperate among us might resort to hunting down the old game on disc for a whopping 75% off, or maybe risk their computer to get the game through shady means.
So what’s the reason for this sudden price inflation? Well, according to Sony’s PR spin doctoring, the “improved graphics and features” will totally be worth paying through the nose for the privilege.
So, as we bask in the “excitement” of new gaming releases and shiny trailers, let’s not forget the corporate cash-grab behind it. Don’t say I didn’t warn you…”
