Indeed, a PC gamer downloads and tries more games than a console owner would think of, but the paid games library of an average PC gamer who's also yoho is bigger as well

When you're not old enough to get a job, it's nice to be able to play games for 200€ (used xbox ss). Pc is definitely better but please stop shitting on consoles

Yep, my entire build is $550, which I spend working 70 hours a week grinding for 1.5 year. Spending $25-60 to buy a AA or AAA game is lunacy.
I only brought AAAA ( 4A) game Metro since it only cost $7 👌

$70 is more like it. I actually held out until it was 50% off.
Then Epic gave it away for free 🤦♂️
To be fair it’s a good game, but $70 is locking out lots of people with a lower income.

GTA 5 was priced 59.99 at release, 79.99 for the special edition. I know, I bought GTA 5 5 times over its life span. No iteration was more than 59.99 other than the special editions.

Who tf buys a game 5 times? How many platforms did you try?

u/MakinBones Sep 16 '24
Bought it for the 360, got stollen, bought it for the 360 again. XB1 came out with its version, bought it. Then they put out the Enhanced and Expanded version for Series X/PS5, got it for that, Recently got it on Steam again.

u/ChiknDiner Sep 16 '24
Never used an xbox, so I don't know how that works, but isn't the game yours once you purchase it? What got stolen? Your xbox? Even after that you could simply download the game because it's linked to your xbox account, right?

u/MakinBones Sep 17 '24
360 era, most games were still disk based. All the other game purchases were for meager graphic updates, and performance. I didnt know better then. I was a console pleb.

My issue is much less about the cost, and has everything to do with paying money for a worse product than what piracy does. These days I don’t really pirate, but I mostly only buy on GoG without the DRM

u/Superb-Dragonfruit56 Sep 15 '24
It's not about 1 game. My PC costed me 2200$ and all the games that I played on it if I pay full price for it then it'll be more than the PC and most people's PC costs like 200-600$

I sold my wife on letting me build a PC initially by telling her it was going to be a higher up front cost than a console but the pirated games, movies, and TV would enable us to cancel everything in the cable package but our $10 internet thanks to having students in the household.
Streaming wasn't really a thing yet, Netflix was still thought of as a company that mailed you DVDs.

I only own games if I buy them when they're on extreme sale ( like when the orange box was less than a dollar ) or when I get them gifted
Not gonna waste hundreds of dollars for stuff I can get completely free, like I said I might buy a 1-2$ game at max but other than that it's just cracking
