Sweet, I was gonna pass on that game anyway.

Take Two can pay me $80 for lying about ksp2.

Yeeeah I'm not paying that. I'll be waiting for discounts, and if they don't come I won't be playing.

Ok waiting for PC and then sailing the seas.

I have no shortage of games to play until then.

Who wants to give R* and Take-Two money anyways? I'm waiting for it to come out on PC and immediately get cracked; the multiplayer is going to be monetized to fuck and back anyways (as bad as, or possibly even worse than, GTA 5) so there is effectively zero downside.

To be honest my willingness to pay for games is totally inverted these days. I’ll snap up good looking indie games for $40 but these huge market researched triple A games don’t pique my interest until <$15 lol

I'm the same. I picked up Mass Effect Andromeda the other day for like 3€

[–] Nima@leminal.space 3 points 16 hours ago

I've put quite a few hours into that game. the combat is fun as fuck. and super worth it when you can snag it for a cheap price.

[–] Bluegrass_Addict@lemmy.ca 5 points 20 hours ago

even then... 15 is still too much because they typically lock 75% behind another 1000..

I just won't regardless of how cheap. heck, make it free.. I'm done with AAA slop. they can keep it.

hence forth is reserved for Indie devs only

It's becoming like cell phones. You don't need the latest and greatest. You can buy the last generation when the new generation comes out. Shits kind of peaked with upgrades outweighing cost. ...allowing you to be able to wait.
