Fuck unfinished titles that are priced at almost a hundred at launch; I'd rather wait a year or two and buy the same thing for 15 EUR.

Edit: and yes, if you buy those at launch, you are part of the problem.

True story. Video games have gotten so expensive that I gave up FPS's because the virtual bullets are starting to cost more than the real ones.

Is CoD making you pay for ammo packs now?

[–] SMITHandWESSON 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Lol, not yet. Hopefully, Activision isn't watching this thread because that's definitely something they'd try.🙃

Blockchain bullets. Every bullet is on a blockchain so you'll know who you put your hard earned money into.

[–] SMITHandWESSON 2 points 1 year ago

Lol, I could actually own my bullets!!! Or just a jpg and a receipt. 😉

Ahh, well that's a bit of a relief. Just to give you a chuckle, due to If The Emperor had a Text to Speech, that game's name will forever be "Cawl o Doodie" to me

Gamepass ultimate and you have no problems

I was just looking at that. The only thing I don't like is that you can't purchase a yearly sub.

[–] bruhduh 1 points 1 year ago

You can though

same. I have over a thousand games on my steam account and a humble bundle subscription.

I can wait years to pick up the all DLC included gold game of the year edition for 5 bucks on sale.

only time i ever get games on release anymore is if a friend gifts it to me, or if it comes as part of a bundle with new hardware (Like how I got Starfield with my new GPU)

lemmy.dbzer0.com, instance that has a lot of communities related to piracy and emulation
