They can make them more than $70USD and I'll just keep waiting for a sale. I haven't bought one at $70 yet, I'm certainly not going to pay even more.

I haven't bought a game for more than $30 in over a decade.

And that was a nostalgia purchase.

Increasing the price just makes me want to go sailing.

Satisfactory £28, Farming simulator £24, House flipper £21, the good games are all less than £30

Hell I've got THREE versions of farming simulator I got free from steam, epic, or somewhere else (legitimately)

I could start on my backlog of sub $15 games and be fine until current releases are sub $15.

Recently started up Crysis 3.

Very nice! I just picked up watch dogs and watch dogs 2 deluxe editions as a bundle for like $13 after tax.

I'm even eyeing the rdr2 sale on epic right nowcfor under 25.

There are so many good options that don't look dated at all to me.

Honestly, crysis looked amazing on my 10 year old laptop. I kind of want to replay them again on my new one to see how much better everything looks on ultra.

I loved to bully the bad guys with the cop and gang calling feature in Watch Dogs 2.
I would just sit there and wait until the NPCs killed themselves. ;D
Have yet to play Watch Dogs 1.

Kind of have a track record of playing a series in reverse...

Gang wars were my jam while playing WD2. Cruising around the block scanning people for botnet recharges, and calling in reinforcements every time one side gets wiped out.... Good times.
