Taco2112,

He’s only 27!? I’ve never paid that much attention to the details of these games so I just always assumed he was in his 40s.

Assassassin,

God I miss og TF2. The orange box was truly one of the best deals in gaming.

SatansMaggotyCumFart,

Good job Gordon, pressing right click and all, I can see your M.I.T. education really pays off.

History of my preorders or full purchases:

Full price purchase:L4D+L4D2 Diablo 3 - Probably the only culprit here. But cmon, Blizzard was good at that time. It Takes Two Binding of Isaac Rebirth PUBG Psychonauts 2

Preorders:Portal 2

The rest is just acquiring good games for low price. Especially humble bundle (that specific one was extremely juicy IYKYK)

Another option is to just price it respectfully. I picked up Silksong on release. I have one day of play time because I’m not into the genre at the moment.

There are plenty of games I would purchase if they were priced low enough from genres I would not normally play just out of popularity and curiosity. I have a lot of them on the Steam backlog that I haven’t even touched just because they were on discount. Some devs do it for mansions, other devs do it for love. Both end up shorting themselves, and the ones probably winning out in terms of profit are the ones selling on a time discount curve somewhere along the middle.

squaresinger,

That’s what they are doing with the pricing: They start up way to high, to catch those who will pay that price. Once they reach the point where sales are stalling at that price point, they lower it, so that more price-sensitive players will buy. That cycle continues until they get a deal from Epic or Amazon to give the game away for free, because that way the publisher still gets more money than from pirates.

pyre,

Supergiant Games are worth a dozen run-of-the-mill “AAA” games but they’re always cheaper. They used to make relatively short games but Hades I & II are playable for hundreds of hours with new things still coming your way and they’re still cheaper and better.

Me and my friends have been talking about going back in again for LASO. We’re not sure though because there’s a huge skill gap between half our usual 4 and we don’t want them to feel like they arent being helpful

Friendly reminder to never buy anything at full price, even if it’s stuff to help good devs.

Flipper,

There are a few games that never go on sale, like factorio.

StarvingMartist,

I have absolutely bought factorio on sale before

Flipper,

It used to be cheaper, yes. They increased the price for the release. Maybe you bought it on a key site at a discount. But you certainly didn’t buy on steam, gog or their site on discount. They have state the will never do discounts.

SCmSTR,

Uh… unless I’m reading this wrong, they are correct that it has never gone on sale before. Games like this do exist. It’s rare, but it happens. Like they said, maybe you bought on a key site or maybe a different platform or currency? But on steam in usd, yeah, doesn’t go on sale.

ayyy,

Why?

Lfrith,

Getting in the habit of willing to be patient and reducing money spending are pretty good general habits.

ayyy,

That is true but it shouldn’t be a hard rule. For example, do you not think the launch price of Hollow Knight: Silksong was fair?

Lfrith,

Shockingly good price, but that doesn’t tend to be the norm. Its more an outlier with retail price of games these days with even games with f2p monetization charging way higher.

Credibly_Human,

You say reminder like you just made a factual comment. Its literally a completely subjective value appraisal by you.

There are plenty of reasons to buy at full price:

  • You want to support the dev (many of these reasons can be suspect to me but its still a valid reason for a perspective buyer)
  • You want to play the game right now, as opposed to waiting to where you wont want to play the game
  • Many multiplayer games are most fun initially before the awful meta and hyper online people screw the fun out of it/force it all to be competitive af/necessitate you needing to look up guides
  • Speaking of multiplayer, you might want to play with friends/be social
  • It’s just not that much money to you

Personally, I’ve stopped trying to do any sort of trick to save money on games because I realized I actually probably ended up spending more on games that were on sale that Id just never actually bother playing than when I just bought a game the second I felt like playing it and then played it. It ended up being a bit of a fallacy for me, and I imagine its the same for many other people.

Darkness343,

Buying at full price is evil. It means you were coerced by the devs to pay their whimsical inflated fake price.

Credibly_Human,

Is buying literally anything at full price also evil to you then? Everything that isn’t rare loses value to time.

I bought a 2 hour long indie “experience” at 67% off.

No regerts. I am barely making ends meet and feeding a child and wife.

Photo modes that limit camera movement to within a tiny radius of the player character. FF7 Remake/Rebirth, and FF16, are glaring examples of this.

Or photo modes that fade out NPCs or objects when the camera gets close enough for good screenshots of them.

Just give me a boundless flying camera option and let me live with the unfinished bits if I so choose.

Doc_Crankenstein,

Oooh these are good pet peeves. Photo modes can be hit or miss.

I love the ones in the Spoderman games. Got some amazing screenshots from all 3

That’s pre botw, bruh.

While wearing the Mask, it makes people think that Link is a woman and causes Gerudo thieves to be a bit annoyed.

Wearing Gerudo-face is a bit more offensive than actual tasteful crossdressing in Gerudo clothing, I guess, but hey, it was the 90’s.
