Comment on Video Games Need to Be Cheaper to Buy

  This… Put games on your wishlist, set your wishlist to only show sales, and sort by price. Then only buy games from that list when they go on a significant sale. Plenty of decent games out there regularly go for $5-10 or less. With very few exceptions I refuse to pay more than $20-30 for a game and, even then, only if they’re like 50% off and not likely to come down.

  Also… stop pre-ordering games. They’ll still be there when they do go on sale. You don’t need to play them as soon as they come out. Conquer that FOMO shit and develop some integrity.

    Yep. I’ve been waiting a half a year to get the Dark Souls franchise. It has paid off well.

  I put a rule not to buy any game util i finish what I already have. I have not bought anything for the last two years.

  You don’t even have to be that patient these days. I got Arc Raiders 3 weeks after release for 60% off, it was like $18.
