Well this is weird.

"And no pants," his wife adds. Sanderson nods:"I started as the wretch with no clothes on, and I got all the way through the first boss before I found pants." It took him 14 hours to beat Malenia."She’s the toughest boss I’ve ever fought."

In some ways, Sanderson thinks the videogame industry is light-years ahead of book publishing."They let you self-select your price point by getting these really cool items," he says. Elden Ring, for instance, retailed for around $60, but consumers could spend a little more for a deluxe edition with a digital artbook and a digital soundtrack, or four times as much for a collector’s edition with a nine-inch statue of Malenia.

It's an interesting and different perspective on the value consumers get from these digital editions. I usually don't mind them except in those cases where the publisher over-sells it so much you feel like a lesser being for buying the standard edition of a game.

probably made Elden Ring much more visible to his fellow fantasy authors than previous soulslikes. There is a point there though, much as many folk won't want to hear it, about the value the games industry offers per dollar, and why so many of us invest our time and money there. "One thing I think publishing is poorly equipped to deal with right now is letting people pick their price point," said Sanderson."They won’t say it, but publishers get really excited by the idea that we can get super-fans to buy three copies of the same book. But wouldn’t super-fans be happier if they could buy one really nice edition in all formats? Give them a bundle with the print book and the e-book.
