@nanoUFO I’m still not used to new games costing $70 USD yet since I buy most of my games used. In my head, $70 games are still the “Deluxe Editions”. If someone released a $100 game, I’d probably think of it as the “Super Deluxe Edition” and wait for it to be $60.

I pretty much exclusively play and buy indie games nowadays but in Canada it's around $80 to $90 for new games not including tax. Don't think any AAA game would draw me for that kind of price. I could get selaco, crow country and probably world of goo 2 for that price.
