Same. New generations are more and more retarded, the future is grim.

Stop playing new games, they are all trash anyway.
Play old games you snatch of steam sales, emulate, pirate, dust off some old physical ones you have

You think thats bad? I thought about buydering cyberpunk today but its STILL $60. I'm not paying $60 for a six year old

Why don't you buy cheaper games? Not trying to snipe at your OP. I think $70 for a video game is ridiculous.

How much you wanna bet these retard game companies are paying more for download servers than it would cost to just mail somebody a physical CD? they are so dumb.

>>745975654
Just don't buy them. It is that simple. FOMO can't hurt you if you don't allow it.
>>
Just wait for a sale if you don't pirate. Companies don't lower the cost of their games over time anymore so there's no reason to buy full price on release

I changed my schedule. I purchase AAA games 4-5 year increments. I figure half a decade is long enough to wait for prices to drop. And by then it's a good bet that the people whom made the game aren't even at the studio anymore. So I don't feel like I'm contributing to something stupid.

Zoomers are so technologically fucking illiterate if you gave them a .torrent to download RE9 they'd say "whoa, that was fast. alright how do I play it" thinking having the .torrent downloaded means the game is installed. They don't know how fucking file structures work, they don't know how fucking zips work. They don't use 7zip or even winrar, they open all their zips in windows explorer.

Physical also takes logistics and manufacturing, so digital should be cheaper.

I just buy games that are deemed worthy to purchase, such as Palworld and Darkest Dungeon 1. Otherwise, I just pirate the fuck out of them, even Elden Ring because Fromsoft has gotten extremely greedy and hasn't put that game on discount.

You're just an idiot who's incapable of searching for deals. I bought RE9 for $40 on release day. Steam sales are completely redundant because key sites have sales every day of the year.

it should have been $70 a long time ago, going digital kept the price lower but games cost too much to develop now.

no game I'd even have a remote interest in is $70. I guess it's just a problem if you're a slop faggot consumer

I makes them look like they're 60$ instead of the real 70$ minus a cent, it's an old marketing strategy to try and trick idiots who couldn't understand that a cent less is still the same overpriced shit.

>They don't know how fucking file structures work, they don't know how fucking zips work
They do, though, you've been tricked by marketers to try and replace junior corporate roles with foreign immigrants who won't ask for the same worker rights and payckeck, zoomers literally aren't any more or less tech illiterate than those who came before them, they just had to deal with extremely worse education systems who'd rather indoctrinate them than teach them useful life skills.

Try not buying it for 70 dollars and watch the price magically come down. Why buy anything at full price in the gaming world where literally 2 weeks can give you 20 bucks off.

>>745980056
Inflation adjusted that'd be about 50 bucks.

This anon is 1000% right, if you've read the comment sections on any piracy website or forum. It's like 5% literate people asking good questions vs 95% of people asking how to open the exe in the zip file. People can't even take the 5 minutes of reading to learn how the website works and how to set up your games, it's insufferable, I'd hate to be a piracy site janny.

I haven't bought a triple A release at full price since the Master Chief Collection released on Steam back in like 2019.
Either wait a year or two for a sale or buy indie games.
