patient gamers gang approves this message

I’ve never bought a $70 game and probably never will. $60 was too much for me. I think this is the point where I continue to just step out of the mainstream gaming field.

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

You can use https://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.

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.

MONTHLY spending?! If you’re having to budget for monthly video game spending, you and I are very different. Do they have you on the hook with micro transactions or something?

I haven’t purchased games on release day for a LONG time, unless it’s a game I just simply cannot wait. Everything else is on Steam for 75-90% off.

There’s really no point. Nearly every game launches these days completely broken. They have a ton of DLC or “special” editions for $150 CAD, and overall it’s a shit experience.

Buy that shit for 75% off, complete edition, and full of bug fixes (or mods that fix everything).
