I bought a couple of newly released games that I would have bought if they were $60 or $80, but other than that, I have been getting my gaming on with cheaper games that are worth the price, like Talos Principle 2 ($30, and worth every penny), as well as older games, like Outer Wilds, Inscryption, Stray, Hades, Spiritfarer.

EDIT: I will add that every game that I have purchased for the full $70 has been worth it. Starfield, Hogwarts (family never played more than 2 hours each), Last of Us Part 1 (haven’t finished), TOTK (haven’t started it yet).

It’s fine, last game I bought was Minecraft, 9 years ago

Stern,

My backlog is still triple digit (Though it has gone down noticeably over the year.) so I only really buy on the summer and winter sales unless something really catches my fancy.

@alessandro I’ve always bought the majority of my games during sales or used from websites like eBay, so it doesn’t affect me that much. I considered buying Persona 3 Reload at launch, but I’ll wait for a sale since it’s $70 and SEGA games tend to go on sale pretty quickly.

I installed Wabbajack and coughed up the $5 or whatever for Premium Nexus Mods access.

Turns out you can turn your old games into new games.

Paddzr,

The only games i bought were goat simulator 3 for my son. Baldurs gate 3 and battlebits.

But I have skipped on Diablo 4, price played a factor.

netchami,

r/PiratedGames is the way to go for offline/single player games

For multiplayer games, I always try to get better deals on sites like Instant Gaming

Epic Games also offers paid titles for free, many of them are garbage though and I absolutely hate Epic Games

mateomaui,

You can use gg.deals to see all the keyshop prices at once, and can log in with your steam and gog accounts to sync wishlists. I have bookmarked views for $5 or less, and historical lows.

netchami,

That’s really cool, thanks

mateomaui,

You’re welcome, it simplifies things so much, and I find deals I would have missed. Note you can also filter out DRM sources so you can remove Ubisoft, EA, Epic, etc. My bookmarks only include GOG, Steam, Battle.net, Rockstar, DRM free, and Other.

netchami,

That’s a nice feature, especially when gaming on Linux

otp,

I but maybe 1 new game a year. Maybe every two years.

I keep the other games I want on a list along with their ATL, and pick them up on sale when I’m feeling like spending
