Why shouldn't it be a factor? Do you rate a 3 star michelin restaurant in the same realm as McDonalds breakfast? Would you rate a ferrari next to a prius? In any of those purchases you consider whether the enormous difference in cost was worth it.

Consider that cost was not an issue. Say a wealthy relative was willing to treat you to either an evening in the Michelin restaurant or the Mcdonald's breakfast. To you, the cost is the same. Which one would you choose?


Inventing hypotheticals for when cost would not be an issue is a redundant argument to even attempt when in reality cost is always an issue and is a key bargaining point for when I purchase anything. If I'm going for the more expensive option I expect it to be much better, and if it isn't I'll be more disappointed - i.e. my standards are different because more has been asked of me as the customer.

But sure, let's assume we do go down the route of answering your redundant hypothetical, then obviously the game that has huge amounts more gameplay with highly professional development, high-caliber voice acting, award winning musical scores with real orchestras and a team of 300 of the best in the developers and writers in the industry behind it - surely that will be the better game than the one hashed together by 5 guys working in their free time out of someone's living room. If it's not then someone fucked up somewhere in a really big way.

Price should reflect the product. If it doesn't then that's another reason to consider whether it's extra special or extra bad.
