Let's see, 70-100+(!) bucks for the (yawn) twentyseventh COD with a 4 hour campaign, or 20 for a game that is complete and lasts for dozens if not hundreds of hours?

Yeah, my choice is easily made.

    it kinda feels like the more expensive a game is, the less value it seem to have.

    The most expensive game I own is Baldurs Gate 3 (@ $70 CAD) and it’s the only game that was worth full price in my 12 years of activity on steam and over 250 games purchased. My next most expensive game was $30 CAD and I only bought a few games that high.

    factorio has mods that last thousands of hours. they're free additions, and the full game with its dlc is only like 60USD. is ridiculous.
