    Fuck unfinished titles that are priced at almost a hundred at launch; I’d rather wait a year or two and buy the same thing for 15 EUR.

    Edit: and yes, if you buy those at launch, you are part of the problem.

      same. I have over a thousand games on my steam account and a humble bundle subscription.

      I can wait years to pick up the all DLC included gold game of the year edition for 5 bucks on sale.

      only time i ever get games on release anymore is if a friend gifts it to me, or if it comes as part of a bundle with new hardware (Like how I got Starfield with my new GPU)

      True story. Video games have gotten so expensive that I gave up FPS’s because the virtual bullets are starting to cost more than the real ones.

        Is CoD making you pay for ammo packs now?

          Lol, not yet. Hopefully, Activision isn’t watching this thread because that’s definitely something they’d try.🙃

            Blockchain bullets. Every bullet is on a blockchain so you’ll know who you put your hard earned money into.

            Ahh, well that’s a bit of a relief. Just to give you a chuckle, due to If The Emperor had a Text to Speech, that game’s name will forever be “Cawl o Doodie” to me

          I was just looking at that. The only thing I don’t like is that you can’t purchase a yearly sub.
