I spotted that $79.99 price tag after the The Outer Worlds 2 Direct on Sunday and I have to say it did put me aback a bit.
PLUS No Romance, Again Obsidian for us Guys that LOVE Girls, yeah that just makes it worse and harder to swallow.
$80 is QUITE A Lot. I own both edition of The Outer Worlds 1 and Spacer's Choice Edition which came with both Expansion for about $60 so $80 for just The Outer Worlds 2 without a Season Pass seems a bit much.
