Depends on the game for me, if it's indie I'll pay full price, helped by the fact indie games tend to be cheaper
Yeah I guess I should revise my statement. I haven’t paid the full 60-70 price for AAA game in a very long time.
Indie games seem to be priced more fairly, most of the ones I’ve bought tend to be 20-25 dollars.
And I’ve never bought any kind of special edition, unless it’s an older game and it comes with all the dlc bundled, like oblivion GOTY edition or something.
But I’m also a /r/patientgamer so I don’t really see a reason to buy something just because it’s new and shiny, unless it’s some kind of multiplayer. But most of them have become such a quick burn where the player base drops after a year when the hype train moves to the next stop, I don’t really see the point in buying them
