I mean…yeah. It’s a big game that released this year and had a lot of work put into it, of course it’s gonna be $60 on iPhone just as it was on consoles and PC. How is this news?
People want triple-A games on their handheld. I suppose we should be prepared to pay AAA prices as well. Otherwise, what's in it for developers?
They can't release the same game on Xbox / PS5 / Switch for massively cheaper on iOS, otherwise they will risk losing sales on those platforms too.

Can someone explain to me the point of pre ordering a digital download?
And a year later there is the A19 ultra with games you can’t play on the A18 Pro. No, apple failed here.
Early install and extra DLC most of the time
The overlapping segment of the Venn diagram of those people who don't own a gaming PC or console and those people who will pay $59.99 for a mobile game is likely to be extremely small.
An AAA-oriented gamer who would "never ever" buy a gaming PC or a console. Why, there must be dozens of them.
Same price as a triple-A game on any other platform.
It’s kind of sad that there are so many people surprised that something can cost more than a dollar. The App Store’s reputation really does speak for itself, huh.

I would guess because even the M1 and M2 don't have hardware accelerated ray tracing which means it won't play as smooth or as high quality as it will on the iPhone. So while it will "play" on those other devices the lead on the story was focused on which device will look/play the best.
Considering the Apple TV 4 is still supported by Apple, this shouldn't be an issue
Why am I not surprised that the people clamouring for AAA gaming titles on iOS are also the ones least willing to pay the them?
Yeah, they definitely should've waited to release the Mac Pro so that it could have that
Frauds willing to spend $1100+ on a new iPhone every year but not $60 for good games, and then they wonder why the only games on iOS are freemium “games” full of in app purchases and ads
Because they're not actually gamers, they're platform-supporters. It's not about the game, it's about the platform. So whatever their platform lacks, they want it available on their platform but aren't actually that interested in paying what it costs to make it sustainable.
The rest of us, who identify as gamers, put the games above the platform. I have too much to play already to wait on some thin trickle of "thank you sir may I have another" options on my Macs and iOS devices. Waste of time.
I was always a touch control naysayer until I started playing CODM. I absolutely HATE game controllers for FPS games still. As long as touch controls are done right and can be remapped they can be awesome.
$60 considering it's an entire game and not some pay to win IAP bull like world of tanks isn't bad - some people I was up against were spending $100 on a single vehicle.
Some other games (Asphalt maybe?) used to be $49 until they changed to IAP's recently.
M1 Mac’s don’t have the gaming chops yet. They still need to release m3 with ray tracing .
Only 15 pro and M1 iPad is supported. Apple TV is out. Same will be for future Apple TVs.
I wonder how much of the game is playable without the full unlock. I think it’s interesting that I could share something I enjoy with people who don’t regularly play games or own a console, and it won’t cost a dime. Now I can make my mom play Village, that should go well.
So that the game will still cost $60?
