One way to get out of the video-game industry funk is to recognize that players aren’t spending $70 on most games

    I haven’t paid over £35 on a game in years. Quite a few games are free now too, though some have kinda scummy cash shops.

      Same here, only exception: Baldurs Gate 3, because i loved the mindset of the devs and i knew from their prior games that they deliver quality. That was more about supporting Larian with extra cash.

      I haven’t paid over $20 in 5 years. I honestly can’t justify spending more than that on a video game. I don’t care how good: price will drop eventually, and I will wait.

        The only game I couldn’t wait for in the last 15 years was Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. That shit broke down my walls in more ways than one 🥲

          That and the FFVII Remake are the only two for me. I generally wait for like 90% off at least. Clair Obscure was such a good game
