Let's be thankful we don't live in the 80s anymore. Games are much more expensive than when taking inflation into account.

For certain kinds of games I like to buy them for full price to show my support to the developers. I bought Original Sin 2 for full price and I'm buying Baldur's Gate 3 at full price.
