Comment on Today’s game consoles are historically overpriced
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 4 weeks agoi mean, i don’t like pirating. i get a shitton of “free” (okay, minimal cost tax-subsidized if you want to pedant. probably a dollar a month that I’m gladly paying anyways) games from the library. i buy maybe one game a year.

Steam sales: Humble bundle deals: GOG giveaways: itch.io’s existence: FOSS games: Modded total conversions of existing games: Browser/F2P games:
I mean libraries are awesome, but let’s not say pirating is the only option to get content on PC for cheap/free.

You didn’t even mention Epic’s giveaways or the games that come with a month of Amazon Prime. If you needed a gaming library in a hurry, there are great games given away for free or cheap on PC all the time.

Fair, although you couldn’t pay me to use the Epic Games Store or make an amazon account lol

I was going to buy my wife the latest Lara Croft trilogy for Christmas a few years ago and then epic gave it to me for free so I had to actually think about her gift
