For $15 you can have endless hours or fun with Balatro
Lol, I’ll just wait until it’s on sale for 5 bucks. I’m patient enough.
I spent 20$ on the last game i played, and put over 140 hours into it. Just saying.
If they do it, it would unfortunately still sell like hotcakes, being one of the most anticipated games of the past decade.
GTA players are genuinely dumbasses & just insane (but then so are most gamers)
GTA players haven’t spent any money since 2013
Except the hundreds of millions they have spent year after year since then.
Well, someone’s paying half a billion in microtransactions in GTA Online every year.
It’ll inspire me to never buy it…until of course it goes on sale for $20 a year later.
This is the way.
I always wait for the prices to drop before buying any game, and never ever pre-buy them. The only exception is early access from indie devs, I’ll help them along if they show promise.
My jolly roger has been stuffed in a trunk somewhere for years, but looks like it might be coming out…
Nowadays it takes like a year or 2 for devs to fix all the bugs anyway. People who buy on day one or pre-order are suckers.
Not fucking happening. I wouldn’t pay £100 for any game.
Im not spening $100 on a fucking video game. I dont care what game ,i don’t care what edition.
I still have a huge backlog of games released in the last 30 years, so I can really easy wait for every game to go into sale. There is absolutely no need or urge for me to buy any game on release.
I wonder… Will Grand Theft Auto VI be the next “AAAA” game? Or have we ditched that term now since the utter failure of the first game that dared wear that title?
It might inspire me to continue not wasting my money, and buying everything on sale, if it’s worth it at all
For $100, it better have a strip club achievement that comes with a coupon for a free actual lap dance.
This just in: rich people want to get richer by charging more for the same product.
Just a reminder that no one’s forcing you to spend $100 on the game. If enough people refuse to do so the base cost of the game will go down again. Icarus is my most recent for example, I’ve had it on my wish list for almost a year and a half now, because I wasn’t willing to spend $35 on what that game provided. It’s currently on sale on Steam for $9.
God of War 2018 is currently $20 on PSN
I got Elden ring for $30 a few months back despite the fact that it’s still selling full price at 60.
If y’all are patient and wait they stopped making money on the game which means that they lower the cost to try to incentivize people to buy it.
Plus the first year of sale of a game is The Game’s most important release window, because companies generally will use the first year to decide how popular it was. If enough people refuse to buy the game at their original price point it will destroy their sales metric for the first year which will make it harder on the studio to justify to their parent company that it’s worth making another game, which means that they’re more incentivized to lower the base cost of the game within the first year of launch.
The rate of this is significantly slowed down if everyone is just like oh okay I guess it’s $100 now and then buys it anyway, have patience and hold out, especially a game like GTA 6 where they’re going to gain more money off microtransactions then people actually buying the game. Honestly GTA 6 probably should have just been sold as a free to play because they operate like one
The thing is, universal action like this, even on a fraction of the scale necessary to make a dent and ultimately change things, just doesn’t work because people will always bow to capitalism. They’ll kick the dirt and grumble under their breath as they pull out their wallets.
I know you’re saying just wait until it’s on sale, but the power of “keeping up with the joneses” is unfortunately a tried a true way of capitalism. When people are talking about the game in the first weeks and posting memes and making in-jokes, people that were trying to hold out will cave like a poorly managed mining operation.
That’s why I pirste first and pay later when it’s on sale for $20
Just a reminder that you can play AAA titles until you die and never pay more than $15 per game, if you wait for a couple years and a sale.
Patient gaming ftw, I was able to get GTAV for free from epic games (only reason to have that stupid app)
Hell, I got GTA V for free (legally, yes). It was the first GTA game I played, and I think its launch reviews were massively overrated.
I doubt I’ll find a free deal for GTA VI, but I ain’t buying it new.
I still don’t understand the appeal for GTA V either. For a game called Grand Theft Auto, the game sure likes to stop you from committing much crime for quite a large amount of time in game, at least to the point I dropped it at least.
Nah, the game is actually pretty fun. I still think San Andreas was the best part but GTA V is far away from being a bad game.
