      Let’s be thankful we don’t live in the 80s anymore. Games are much more expensive than when taking inflation into account.

      For certain kinds of games I like to buy them for full price to show my support to the developers. I bought Original Sin 2 for full price and I’m buying Baldur’s Gate 3 at full price.

      Realistically, gaming is an inexpensive hobby if you’re smart about it. I’m astounded at what people spend on things like dining, alcohol, sports (travel and gear), hunting, boats/atvs, etc. That $60 game you’ll play every day for a month would be a daily expense in other circles.

      This has nothing to do with the game itself and everything to do with capitalism though.
