I’m not patient because of cost, I’m patient because new releases are buggy, and they’re usually stable by the time their price drops. They’re basically rewarding my patience…
I am inevitable.

Oh i am definitely patient for the lower price. I can’t afford 70-80 euros for this shit.

I’m waiting neither due to bugs nor because high price. I’m waiting because adult life happened and I simply don’t have time to play. I still have even games I bought decade(s) ago and I haven’t touched yet… Yeah, yet, definitely yet. Will try to insert appropriate meme later.

bought hades 2 straight up without reviews and knowing it’s gonna be wonky early access, just because the dev has a history of honest and inspired banger games. 😎👍
keep in mind that most profiteering rats pile onto the biggest cash cow games. indie scene is better than ever these days

It’s not the cost. I’ve not pirated anything since Steam and GOG came along. It’s just that games nowadays want you to be online all the time, force you to open accounts you don’t want, try to sell you in game items (that’s a brilliant idea to get money from certain types of people, a bit like religion, do congratulations to whoever came up with that).
I want games to be single player playable, offline, start to finish. I’ll buy expansion packs if the game is worth it. It’s it too much to ask?

Starfield is still $70 (base). It’s $46 on sale. One of the most panned games of 2023 is STILL $70 FUCKING DOLLARS! How the hell?
