I honestly can't remember the last time I paid full price for a game. Between free amazon prime games, epic games, gog, and steam demos/freebies: I hardly have time to invest in new games.

I used to buy Madden/NBA2k every year up until 2008 or so, now I grab one every five years at $10. Includes all the bugs from the previous version.

I have 1000s of games now and don't have any time to play them. BG3 is the only game I'm considering spending $40 for.
