Hades 2: Here's why people think that gaming companies are looting them

Talk about a bolt from the blue—Hades 2 just swooped in out of nowhere on May 6, catching the gaming world completely off guard! Early access to one of the most hotly anticipated sequels? Yeah, that's the stuff dreams are made of. But what really sent shockwaves through the industry wasn't just the surprise drop—it was the price tag that Supergiant Games slapped on it, and what it means for the gaming landscape.

Now, picture this: in a world where big games are inching their prices higher and higher, sometimes hitting a hefty $70 USD, Hades 2 steps up and says, "Nah, we're sticking with the classics." That's right, they're keeping things steady at the original's almost $30 price point. Sure, it's in early access and won't be hitting other platforms besides PC for a hot minute, but come on—that's one heck of a steal for the amount and quality of gaming content you're getting!

So here's to Supergiant Games for keeping it real and giving gamers a deal that's truly worth celebrating. With Hades 2, it's not just about the journey—it's about the sweet deal you're getting along the way. Cheers to that! 

Hades 2 didn't just break records—it shattered them! Steam saw more players diving into the underworld than ever before, thanks to this sequel's arrival. And the best part? It's only going to keep growing as more content gets added and it eventually spreads its wings onto consoles.

But here's where things get really interesting: that $30 price point? Yeah, it's kind of a big deal. In a world where gamers often grumble about shelling out full price for a game that feels incomplete or lacks content, Hades 2 stands as a shining example of how to do it right. It's not just about the number on the price tag—it's about the value you're getting for your hard-earned cash.

What's really cool is how most indie gems are helping to support the industry during challenging times. With the gaming industry facing its fair share of cuts, layoffs, and other struggles, these smaller, fleshed-out experiences are like beacons of hope, showing that there's still plenty of magic to be found in the world of gaming.

And let's not forget about Supergiant Games, the indie powerhouse behind classics like Bastion, Transistor, Pyre, and the original Hades. They've been championing this idea for years, consistently releasing their beloved titles in the same price ranges. It just goes to show that you don't need a blockbuster budget to create something truly special in the world of gaming.
