Oh I'm just referring to Steam games. I'm a PC gamer just because I don't buy consoles (because they're expensive lol) and Steam just have great discounts compared to PlayStation, Xbox and Switch.
For full priced games, which used to be only $60 USD, now somehow $80-$90 — thanks Nintendo — is far too expensive for me. $45 too. $30 is starting to be okay. Oh and pardon me for not saying where I'm from but my country got cheaper regional pricing on Steam so I just use USD prices like tiers of pricing.
Ah okay yeah, I barely use steam these days. Can't remember the last time I bought anything there, I just occasionally play very old games I already have on there haha.
Yeah i love a few Nintendo classic titles but $$$ 😭 kinda a good thing that I don't like the direction they're taking pokemon because it removes the temptation to upgrade to the switch 2. Not sure I'll bother unless I somehow get free money to throw around haha.
