it do be like that
>>741094407If it's AAA, then I buy when it's $15.If indie, $5.

>>741094407I pirate faggot
>>741094571As a solo indie dev, this is good to know. I imagine I would "sell" for 9.99 but always have a sale for 4.99 most times.
>>741094571I wait for bundles and $3 or less for everything. Far too many games out there for me to want to go higher than that.
>>741094571For me it's 3 for "AAA"1 for "indie"
>>741094407I refuse to tip, vote, pay for vidya or eat pussy.
>>741096182Lore status?
>>741096182Henry eats pussy, btw. Imagine letting other men control what you do in bed with your bitch. Queer much?
>>741094407I'm getting Stellar Blade and Starfield the following sale.
>>741094730we don't sign our posts here
>>741096182>eat pussy.Based. Eating pussy is literally lesbian behavior
>>741096364The cope from renee good simps is amazing
>>741096692This just makes you look like an ESL because if he was actually signing it there would be a dash
>>741094407Yes, because they don't deserve support and money just because they did something. They deserve what the customer's think the product or service is worth. The relationship between business and customer goes both ways. Unfortunately developers, publishers, and companies in general seem to believe they should have no respect or consideration for their customers, and instead get snippy and entitled when customers, many of whom are cash strapped, don't pay unaffordable prices.
>>741096182Eating box is 100% gay
>>741094407When was the last time steam offered anything over 50%? 4 years ago?
>>741094407In all honesty, Videogames should cost $100+. The entire medium is grossly undervalued by the bulk of its audience.I'm looking forward to GTAVI being $120 and setting a new paradigm.
>>741096868>if he was actually signing it there would be a dashComma, actually, Jeetbro.
>>741096910This. If you would be willing to put a womans scented flaps on your mouth you'd probably suck a dick. Can't be trusted.
>>741094846Yes, even AAA games do this sometimes.
>>741097290>ESLbabble
>>741096182Stingy broke nigga.
>REEEE WASTE YOUR MONEYno? i have other games to play. this is why i own a house outright at 28.
>>741097290Oh never mind you actually are ESL
>>741098204>this is why i own a house outright at 28.That probably has more to do with your occupation and compensation more than how many games you didn't buy.I feel like the cumulative value of all the games I've purchased in my adulthood wouldn't even equate to the cost of a cheap sedan, let alone an actual house.
>>741098420videogames arent the only thing i’m stingy with
>>741094407You do realize that sales are decided by the devs and not steam right?
>>741094407>set the base price at two-weeks of food worthYou get the 5% and you better say "thank you", motherfuckers.
>>741097970>>741098284I accept your concession.
>>741098543That doesn't really refute my point. If you own your home at 28, which is certainly something to be proud of, you must make a decent amount of money by some means. I mean, even a low-end home is like $300k these days. That's a decade of saving $30k every year. So unless you were completely dependent on someone else for all that time and/or living on the streets and dumpster diving while putting every dollar you earned in savings, you must have made some pretty good money in that time somehow. At least $45k/yr.
>>741098764>I would give up 2 weeks of food for some trivial entertainment.What kind of retard thinks this is a good exchange?Go 2 weeks without food and get back to me.
>>741097067literally every single day
>>741098420i once made a calculation of all my figurines (it wasn't much) and i could have own a bike in place than a bunch of figurinesbut wellcould own a good car if i didn't wasted 500 bucks in alcohol monthly too
>>741097097It's the other way around, the switch to CD was pocketed by publishers, same with lowering distributions costs(30% cut is a new norm before that stores took up to 70%, then switch to digital was pocketed as well.Even adjusting for inflation games shouldn't cost more than $40 and the fact some companies can't make mad profit with $70 price tag only shows how fucking incompetent these niggers are.
>>741099406>Even adjusting for inflation games shouldn't cost more than $40Based on fucking what, nigga? We're talking about products that take years and cost millions of dollars to make, and you want them to cost as much as a doordash lunch? Broke-ass nigga.
>>741097067if you click on the Steam store search bar without typing anything, it will suggest you games that are 100% off(if there are any)
>>741098908yeah ok sounds like poor retard cope
>>741094407$160 for a game is ridiculous. Unless it is very good.If a game is good I'll buy customisation.Should have graphics modes as customisation too.
>>741100394>$160 for a game is ridiculousNot really. People will spend more for less than that.
No game is worth more than 5 of Your Local Currency. When discounts boost sales, that's what the price should have been to begin with.
>>741097097when i was like 8 years old new ps1 games were $60 or $70 and that's probably like $200 today lolalso why most people barely had any games
>>741100516Nah. Discounts make people buy things. If it was $5 all the time there would be no incentive or pressure to buy it.
>>741096364>>741096786>>741096910Eating pussy is the leading cause of HPV-related throat cancer for non-smoking men by the way. The symptoms don't even manifest themselves until a couple decades later when guys start feeling a bump in their neck or have a difficulty swallowing. All because they ate pussy in college. This is not the same for women. Not even women who suck dick get throat cancer.
>>741099590Based on their actual value relative to older games, only because some retard think that 300mln budget is a reasonable idea doesn't mean I as a consumer have to pay for his retardation. Would you buy an average Volkswagen for $200k? Its the same thing and unironically why chinks are slathering their competition in EV market.
>>741100568Having less games meant kids had to play the ones they did have over and over, which meant they got good at the game and they appreciated the games they had more.That's why older gamers are more skilled and passionate than younger generations. The very nature of cheap games weakens the entire medium by creating frivolous and fickle consumer bases that will drop your game/series like a hat over any perceived slight.
>>741094571If it's AAA, then I pirateIf indie, $5
>>741099590based in common sense fucking retarded jew
>>741094571Same. No reason to pay more.
>>741100825ya having fewer choices often gives you a more meaningful choice to make than unlimited choice via steam and every game that's ever been made being easily available also Ps1 > nintendo 64 for SINGLEPLAYER games and it's not even close, but n64 is the greatest local multiplayer system considering the gaming culture at the time and their limitations. basically all the n64 party games like smash and mario 2/3 party hold up to this day
>>741100771>Based on [bullshit]Value is an inherently subjective concept and has no place in this discussion. I could point to any random thing in a game and say it was worth the $70 for that alone and you would have no way to refute me.The facts are that games cost a lot of money and time to make, even in regards to AA/indie works. Higher price of entry means less copies need to be sold to break even/profit, which means more risks can be taken. More risk = more variety = better games. Nothing good comes from racing to the bottom.>>741100931Common sense is understanding that you get what you pay for. Games are cheaper than they've ever been, and they're by and large worse than they've ever been.
Like 1% of games go on 95% sales and those that do are usually ancient or obscure releases from soon to be defunct studios.
>>741099590Niggas spend a lot of money on crap, that's why they're always poor in the end. Entertainment shouldn't cost more than vodka and a pack of cigarettes.
>>741101553>Entertainment shouldn't cost more than vodka and a pack of cigarettes.Why? So you can mindlessly consume whenever the fancy strikes? Fuck you, pay up or go stare at clouds all day you broke bitch.
>>741100692>eat HPV pussy>get HPV related cancerWoag...
