How much should GWENT cost?
Here's how I would do things:
You could play GWENT for free and you'd have the base set and starter set of cards to play with.
You like the game?
All right then, you can pay for the game. How much?
Since businesses love having a price just one cent less than a whole number, here's some ideas:
$9.99
$12.49
$14.99
$19.99
Maybe $9.99 is 'about right' for the game but for that price you'd get the maximum number of playable cards for all factions and neutrals. I'd like to say that you would get the entire set of cards released for this game so far, in standard version form. Now, I know that that might not be a popular move, so perhaps you could have the entire set of two expansion releases (standard cards). At least one, then.
How much to premiumise your cards? I'd say $4.99 but maybe more 'realistic' (according to me) would be $7.49 or $9.99.
Jumping the other price suggestions of mine, in a pinch I think that $14.99 would be a 'reasonable' price for the game, if it included all cards up to the present and having the maximum number of playable cards in your collection, i.e. two copies of any bronze unit card. Personally, I'd throw in premiums for this price but maybe you could just have only one card of each type being premium...and for $4.99 you could have the other playable card premiumised too.
For $19.99, I would expect the buyer to get the whole kit and kaboodle, no skimping. I.e. everything maxed out, premium cards and all expansion sets included. Worst case, it would be a $4.99 extra payment to get that premium collection.
Some people might think that it's crazy to include expansion sets in the price. As I see it, so long as GWENT is still a thing, CDPR will always keep adding expansions to the game. I don't think that buyers of the game should retrospectively get those new expansions for nothing.
So, how much is an expansion set worth?
$4.99 (premium, ideally)
$9.99 (definitely all premium)
The big problem that I can see CDPR having with this idea is that it ditches their business model, which is based on gambling. I.e. you spend the best part of $100 to buy dozens of premium kegs and...you don't get every card.
I've said it more than once on this forum: for that kind of money I would demand that I get every last card ever made for this game, multiple copies of it and all premium.
There's just no excuse to take so much money from people and not give them everything. Pokies aren't fun, if you're not CDPR.
