Game prices ranting thread 2019

[kashell]

Very true. If I weren't a maniac, then $20 would be a reasonable price if I were picking up a game every now and then. But I'm a maniac, and I've always thought that I have pick everything that appeals to me all at once, or in rapid succession. I need to get it now, so I that I always have it later before I have to pay even more for it. So I'm used the the routine of picking up games quite frequently. At that rate for me $20 just isn't sustainable, it breaks the bank. Like spending $40 on five games that I wanted? That's okay. Spending $120 at once on those same ones? Nah, I can't justify that.

It's my own fault for wanting to approach this in the same manner that I did in 2009. $20 does go a long way if you're not a maniac like me.

Haha. I would recommend saving your money for a bit, playing all of your new toys, and then getting back into it when you've had enough. Easier said than done, I'm sure.

Personally, I’m a penny-pincher, so my limit for any common or uncommon game is between $5 to $10. I only go higher than that if it’s a rare game that I truly want and will try out, and even then I try to get it as cheap as possible. Thankfully patience is my forte, and it helps me save money.
