patient gamers gang approves this message
I wait until it costs 20 € or less. No need to hurry, if it’s a game is good now, it will be good in 2 years.
It hasn’t. I’ve only bought ~4 games at full price the last decade, now I just wait for them to be around $20. The $70 price seems to be more focused on cashing in on people that buy on release, but prices go down all the same only like one year after release.
Games that have fallen to $20 also have the nice advantage of having most of their bugs worked out and the vast majority of the balance passes complete. It’s easily the best time to buy and play a game.
Depending on the game though the online scene may have died out by the time the game is discounted.
I’m underutilizing my rig tbh. I’ve been playing primarily Factorio for the past few years. My monthly game spending is low. Tempted to get a steam deck for mobile Factorio with mods, though.
It’s fine, last game I bought was Minecraft, 9 years ago
