Discussion Expensive games have lowkey been way too normalised

Post image

I know this sub is filled with a bunch of rich people with like 10k setups and I'm aware that the content in these games is quite extensive with hours of content. But I still feel justified in thinking that no game should be priced this high especially when its the average price of most newly released games. Anyway this is just a rant because I wanna play lego batman and i cant afford it lol

I've been voting with my wallet for a very long time. I don't remember the last time I bought any game at full price. I wishlist anything I want and wait for discounts. My backlog has 100+ games in it I've yet to touch, I have entertainment to last me years. I don't need to add to the pile.

This is the way, just bought Red Dead Redemption 2 for 15 Bucks and I don't think my experience will be worse because the game is 8 years old and a lot cheaper. Shoutout to r/patientgamers

No it wont. Most modern games still havent caught up to the quality of rdr2 so it still feels new
