  Its even crazier when that dude realizes that Steam doesn’t even set the prices, the game developers and publishers do.

  I feel like people don’t understand this a lot

  I mean you can blame gamblers for losing all their money to Las Vegas too but that’s not a common opinion on Lemmy!

    A sale that happens every few months or even weeks is the same as gambling? Sure i buy more id a game is on sale… But not because of fomo but because i can save money?

      No, it’s not the same as gambling, but it does exploit weaknesses in human psychology to get people to buy things they don’t need.

      If you’re buying a game that you’ll never play just because it’s on sale, you’re not saving money.

        You would be happy to know that Steam doesn’t set the sales prices, the developers and publishers of games do that.

        So whether you buy their game on GOG or Steam, you are directly supporting the people that set those sales.

        Best not to buy any games that go on sales to keep true to your values!
