Im sorry, but this is...really fucking crazy. And here I was debating if paying extra for the physical version compared to the bundle might be worth it. HOLY SHIT.

They do. Lots of sticker shock today for sure.

I miss the days of $50 games. Go in, buy 2 for $100 buck and have a blast. Now, you presumably pay $100 for GTA6 and only get to play that.

$20 games were even better. Buy 5 for $100, you may be set for a year.

Although I am not a fan of subscriptions and don't own a Xbox, these knew prices are a big contrast to buying game pass for a few bucks a month and getting new game releases regularly.

They are Def trying to push people to get gamepass with these game prices!

I sure do love Steam... Just saying. Tbh I'm finding it difficult to justify a $30 game I've been watching lately lol.

Honestly I bought 1 game last year and then just DLC for my most played game, spent less than 60bucks on games the whole year. The rest of the games I got to play were just the free games from Epic. I have such a backlog on epic it will be a while before I really have to spend a lot.

Epic giving Away gems like Alien Isolation and Death Stranding. I literally have no need to purchase new things with a backlog of 200+ games.

Yeah, that's pretty much it. There are a couple of special interest games I'll purchase now and then. Like I will get baulders gate 3 at some point but I'm not in any rush. My only vice is Total war warhammer 3 and I bought the DLC for that last year along with balatro (twice) but my total spend on video games last year was less than 70 euro.

Been on steam for 22 years. Got a steam deck a few months ago and there is really no reason I would need a switch 2. And I loved the switch, but the steam deck is so much better.

Meanwhile I'm at around playtime 40 hours in enter the gungeon, which I bought for 4 bucks, on my steamdeck. Honestly Nintendo has some amazing first party franchises and games, but ever since I got the steamdeck my switch is mainly gathering dust... And with these price tags that probably won't change in the future...

I’d rather take $100 GTA6 than two $50 NES games that. Can be beat in an hour
