It’s okay since I only buy games on sale … oh wait, that doesn’t matter as they still sit unplayed. Never mind.
Dunno how I feel about being part of that statistic…
And I helped
We’ve been trained to react to sales more or less, since before Steam… but what, am I not going to get that AAA game for $8 that was $70 3 years ago? I mean it sucks balls, because all good AAA games don’t go down in value - in fact, if we look at Elden Ring, GTA, RDR2, they increase in price over time.
If we had a piracy statistic, we’d probably see how much money publishers are losing at this strategy, and that the only way they can ever prevent piracy is by promoting authoritarian regimes that will take away your rights if there’s as much as an R2R file on your system.
So yeah, the gaming market is dumb by default. When publishers cry their salty tears about their intellectual property being pirated, my eyes roll back into my head.
You’re telling me a program you developed 8 years ago, that receives nominal updates, is still worth full asking price, even when the teams and the developers have moved on to other projects and you’re not actually putting that much money into it? Gtfo here. Oh no wait, that was rude. Let me rephrase.
Awwwwww :3 piwacy owie, UwU? Maybe adjust pwicing? No? No sympathy for you, because I don’t have sympathy for grifters.
I’m doing my part 07… for Lord GabeN
If it makes Steam stay at #1 and stimulates development of titles we respect it’s worth every penny.
And if some indie dev lasts a little bit longer because I threw away a few dollars, i’m all for it
…yet
It’s really great having some unplayed stuff that I try later.
It’s ok, I balance it out by playing some games I’ve never paid for.
Of course i do, it’s my retirement plans. Play all the games i now have the time to :D
Just don’t end up as the this guy
or Futurama’s version of itHahaha that would be perfect, come back in ~33 Years we’ll see : p
You’re joking but this is literally a plan I have
Ever since I bought the steam deck and moved away from GaaS I’ve actually started to dent the library. Doesn’t mean I will play everything. A lot of them were once fillers on bundles and not that great, but some truly were gems.
Yeah 75% of my library of 1500 games is from humble bundles, so paying like 10% of regular price.
Still a neat stat though.
Yea I bought one humble bundle (some earthquake relief or something) and now I have like 150 games I will never play…
I feel it would be a lot more useful as trivia if we knew how much money that was per person as well.
And actual bought price, I think it used current market price. So lots of old games are going to be extremely undervalued.
