Do you ever pay full price for video games?

When it's worth it.

yes, $0 isn't very much, I can afford it.

I paid full price for FF7 Rebirth when it came out on PC last year because I was at Shinra HQ in the first one and was going to go straight into it. Still haven't finished the first one.
>>
>>738017637
Nope.

The fact that games launch buggy and unfinished, even in the indie dev sphere, means I have to wait a couple months anyway for the game to be done.
>>
>>738017637
Even at 95% it depends on the dev if I buy or not. If it's an indie dev and I don't see them say anything retarded online I'll buy.

even a $1 game is too expensive

>>738017637
Not typically. I paid full price for Battlefield 6 and got reminded why I never pay full price or buy on day one.
>>
>>738017637
Yeah for physical games, so nowadays only Nintendo for the Switch 2
I don't buy game-key cards
>>
>>738017637
when it comes to games i enjoyed, i will buy the sequel day one. for example I enjoyed Nioh 2 a lot after getting the collection for $20, so I bought Nioh 3 on release (it's worse than Nioh 2)

when it comes to studios i like, i will buy their new game day one, but it has to be an honest new game. Let's use FromSoftware as an example, a studio which is responsible for at least 2 very good games (demon's souls and bloodborne):
>honest new game
elden ring
>dishonest new game
nightreign

aside from that, no considerations are need for anything that's $20 or below, it's literally $20

>>738017637
Only Nintendo games, because they never drop in price.

I buy games that just release on discount from fanatical
At this point I almost never actually pay the full price and use the discount to get the deluxe/good goy edition for the same price as standard

I don't think calling criminals poor is a good way to stop them from committing crimes

>>738017637
Rarely, basically never if it's a full price game.
I might sometimes throw down full value on something that's under $30 and looks good to me though. Beyond Citadel is full priced at $15 right now and I might get it for instance. But typically I wait for a sale, just that this game is only like $3 less on sale so fuck it.

Only games I actually want to support.
>>
>>738017637
if I want to play a game "right now" then I buy it. anything else I pick it up on sale and get to it when my backlog allows. The exception to this are single player games I know will get DLC within a year and which I will never come back to, in which case I wait for all the DLC to come out before buying it, which incidentally means I always get those games on sale (tomb raider and RE are some of my recent worst offenders)

No, because I've been betrayed too many times. I fucking pre-ordered Dragon's Dogma 2. That was the final straw for me.
>>
>>738020190
that doesn't count since anyone would do the same considering dd:da is one of the best games of all time
>>
>>738017637

The last time I bought any game at full price was in like 2000. So no.
>>
Bought most of my games on sale
The rest are from occasional giveaways from GOG and Steam
I only paid full for switch games

I paid full price for CYAN BRAIN.
I liked it so much I gifted it to one of the guys I had on my steam friend list that had the game on wishlist.

>>738017637
Paying full price for anything is for suckers.

>>738017637
Only if the dev says something based
