I used to buy a lot of games, but it came to a point that is unsustainable for me, idk how's the situation in NA and EU, but here in south america is pure hell, games usually cost 30% of the minimum wage + most games come with paid dlc, no localization and are released in a total broken stage, and lets not forget, we dont actually own any of these games, we just have a license for them.
why do people accept this kinda of shit that would never fly 10-20 years ago? better yet, why do some people even DEFEND IT?
>>31136You could just buy good games and not bad ones
But seriously I've been subscribed to game pass for the past few months, it's pretty great value, you get access to like 400 games for £8/month and most of them are AAA
I have 100s of games from Epic I got for free. I assume every time I get one they must give some kind of cut to the developer. TBH I usually try to only buy games if they're MP because that's really the only limitations of pirated games(usually.) Steam workshop is another reason.
>>31137This too. Support the indie devs you really like. For AAA games it doesn't even work like that. All the devs are already paid as much as they're going to get when the game comes out.
>>31147>are stupidly paranoid about "viruses."I mean that's not inherently a nerative. I consider my own childhood paranoia on the matter to have been a great motivator in developing my own tech literacy.
Hell even on stuff like PlanetMinecraft, kids don't trust the companies making these closed systems and are at least aware of stuff like linux, with some adoption. I think they'll turn out alright as long as the rent-seeking remains blatant.
