The price of the game on steam is $8-$10 USD, on both consoles the price is $30 USD, why is that?

I know the console version has the hag and the doctor included.. (not sure if current standard version on pc includes them) but even if you bought their DLC, the cost wouldnt be $30 USD, also arent the hag, the doctor and the clown available on PC via unlocking? If you want the clown on console you have to buy it.

Please lets not start a PC vs Console argument.. not what this thread is about.

Thanks!

    Not to be rude but it is normally $19.99 USD on Steam without a Sale. Although, game price changes depending on location. Also you have to realize the extra work to do a PS/XBOX release and publication.

    Because they know that if you're still spending money on console games, you're going to spend 60$.

    The Xbox and PS4 versions come with two DLCs included - Of Flesh and Mud (Hag + Ace) and Spark of Madness (Doctor + Feng). That averages to about $5 extra per DLC (rather than the $7 on PC).
