Has anyone else noticed articles pushing for games to be $70? No one in real life actually wants this.

    That is a competitive advantage for the indie games industry. I want this.

    The only game I'm really annoyed about it being expensive is HL:Alex cause like $1000.

    More pissed that rolling releases have made piracy such a fomo experience.

      yeah companies rolling out fixes and updates slowly must be deliberate to encourage platforms like steam and discourage pirating

        I think many companies also release broken games just to see if those flop, before deciding to pay off their technical debts.

        And DLC has the complete exact opposite effect on me; because with piracy everything is included anyway.
        I don't even consider getting games on Steam if those have too much DLC, it is guaranteed fomo or buyer's remorse.

          Yeah ive made the mistake of paying 5 bucks for eu4 and i got it to work with creamapi for a while but the nthe launcher started to break completely (configuration file not found) and you have to always mess with the cracks and now i need to update all the dlc files it wasnt worth it i should have just waited for the cracked versions to appear
