  The difference is back then, I didn’t have to wait 2 years (give or take) for it to go on a proper sale to enjoy it. I’d just wait until a month or two passed and ask around, go into Gamestop, find used games at yard sales, etc.

  We pay $70 to not play at release due to server issues and critical bugs and we enjoy zero QA and do it for free for these big corporations.
