  I will buy indie games at full price, thank you very much.

    I bought Schedule 1 for the full $20 last week.

    I can’t stop playing. It’s too fun.

      it seems I’ve bought it too. Not gonna lie, after reading the description… I have no idea what I’m getting into.

  It’s ok to but indie games even if still a public beta, to support the devs. Had a great time with Factorio, Rimworld, Valheim before 1.0 release.

  Do buy great indie games at full price to support indie devs even more (stardew, Balatro, dead cells, hollow knight, terraria, rimworld….)

  I’ll still buy FromSoft games at full price. But only because I know they won’t disappoint. And Took Taro’s games.

  But in general, it would be beneficial for more people to spend less on games.

    So what’s the difference for Nintendo fans that love any Mario or Zelda game, for example? I’m not trying to be an ass here, but what makes your specific “I only buy this full price” a better decision than someone else’s “I only buy this at full price”?

      FromSoftware is not a multi-billion dollar company that has major influence on games peicing in the gaming industry, and when game prices jumped to $70 USD, Armored Core 6 released at $60 and Elden Ring Nightreign will release at $40.

      Nintendo is not even close.

  Honestly itch.io has plenty of free indie gems that can last me just as long as throwing $80 at a AAA game. I’d rather donate/tip after the fact for genuine well-crafted experiences

    I absolutely love Manic Miners (the fan remake of the old Rock Raiders game). The customization so you can make your own mining crew, all the old-school parts that are in the game, everything about it is fantastic.
