《惡意不息》當下已在Steam平台以搶先體驗版本的形式上線發售，其售價為40美元。此前，該遊戲的創意總監Thomas Mahler就曾透露過正式版的定價計劃為60美元。而在昨晚，他發布了一篇長文，正式對外宣布了這一消息。
Since I’m getting a lot of messages about this, just to clarify: The current 40% sale is a one-time promotion to celebrate and support No Rest for the Wicked Together. The goal was to make it as easy as possible for people to jump in and play together - and paired with the free weekend, that clearly worked 👍 I’m not trying to do any FOMO marketing here, but yes: when we hit 1.0, No Rest for the Wicked will move to $60, because it’s a premium title. We’ve announced this a long time ago and repeated it several times. The reason the game launched at $40 was simple: Early Access players should get a discount. BG3 launched into Early Access at full price, and personally I never loved that approach. If you support a game early, you should get some extra love. I’m only saying this now so nobody’s surprised or upset later. If you’ve been on the fence about Wicked, the current sale is genuinely a good time to jump in. That’s all - just transparency! 👍❤️
Thomas Mahler表示：「此次推出的六折新史低優惠活動，主要是為了慶祝並助力《惡意不息》聯機模式的推廣。我們期望能讓玩家以儘可能輕鬆的方式加入遊戲，一同體驗聯機樂趣，同時搭配免費周末活動，能讓這一效果更為顯著。
「我並非是在刻意營造一種『錯失恐懼症』的氛圍，但有一點確實屬實：當遊戲正式版上線時，《惡意不息》的價格將會永久上調至60美元。畢竟這是一款品質上乘的精品遊戲，我們很早之前就公布過這一價格資訊，並且多次重申過。
Reminder that No Rest for the Wicked is 40% off on Steam. This is going to be the ONLY time we’re doing a 40% discount. We chose to do the discount and the free weekend so that as many people as possible could try No Rest for the Wicked Together! With 1.0, we will not sell Wicked at its current Early Access price of 40$ anymore and will instead charge full-price for it 👍
「遊戲最初以40美元的價格發售，原因其實很簡單：參與搶先體驗階段的玩家理應享受到一定的折扣優惠。《柏德之門3》以全價開啟搶先體驗，我個人一直不太認可這種做法。如果玩家在遊戲的早期階段就給予支持，那麼他們理應獲得一些額外的回饋。」
「我現在說這些，只是希望未來不會有人因為價格變動而感到意外或者不滿。如果你一直在猶豫是否要入手這款遊戲，那麼目前的促銷活動無疑是一個絕佳的加入時機。」
