Realistically, gaming is an inexpensive hobby if you’re smart about it. I’m astounded at what people spend on things like dining, alcohol, sports (travel and gear), hunting, boats/atvs, etc. That $60 game you’ll play every day for a month would be a daily expense in other circles.

RxBrad@lemmings.world 1 year agoTruthfully? No game is worth $60-70.
Especially when that same game costs $30 a year later.
I’ve never paid full price for any videogame.

This has nothing to do with the game itself and everything to do with capitalism though.

Let’s be thankful we don’t live in the 80s anymore. Games are much more expensive than when taking inflation into account.

That’s a big reason why I checked out of console gaming for many, many years. I went from the original NES to the PS2. And I made a specific point to buy the disc version of my PS5 so I could still get dirt cheap used games.

in the 80s and 90s piracy was absolutely rampant though
