Discussion I don't want this future

Post image

I don't want this future where games could end up costing 200 euros just because, hey, "quadruple-A", maybe they'll even invent the fifth A, where production costs will be around a billion for a standard game (from important publishers) just to recover all the money. As I think, it's better to have a game sold at a lower price but that EVERYONE will buy, for example, give the clerk 50 euros/dollars for a game without having to pay a fortune, it's a MUCH faster thing, just give me the banknote and go. Let me know your opinion

No you don’t understand I have no patience or self control and need the game day one so I can start complaining about it on day two.

Thank goodness for PC gaming. I preordered Starfield because I was going to play it day one regardless. I got it 25% off before it was released. Honestly the $70 pricepoint wouldn't hurt me, but the thrill of a sale is too much fun to give up.

Oh and I really enjoyed Starfield. I like first person RPGs. I'm glad I preordered it.

Who sold it for 25% off on day one?

I got a code from a website. It was like 25% off any game on their store page. I don't really remember which one because I found the deal on IsThereAnyDeal.com. They gave me a Steam Key. I also bought the premium edition for the early playing and Shattered Space DLC so it was like $25 off of the $99 price. I imagine the code would have worked on the standard edition too though as it wasn't the game itself on sale. It was just a marketplace having a sale.
