Did you know that the main policy of Steam is its Subscriber Agreement? You never buy the games. Moreover, most people play games shortly after they come out, so they don't care about something like Yakuza 0 in 2025. A new AAA game costs $60 to $70, but you can pay for a month of Game Pass for $12 and play through multiple new AAA or other games. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] Lfrith@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Rose@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago (1 child) To each their own. Some people are just too busy to finish a game in a month. Personally, I can finish a 30-hour game in a month without worrying too much, though I'd probably not even think of time if it was two months. That's still $24 though. For $60, you can get four. I'm a patient gamer like you though and I wait for the deepest discounts, but most people aren't. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] Lfrith@lemmy.ca 1 point 1 year ago* (last edited 5 months ago) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent
