i'm surprised, i just thought if you couldn't afford a game these days you waited till it was 90% off on steam

I thought there was something like patient gamers who only played games a year after release or something like this but I can't find it

    That's me, I have a MASSIVE wait-list on Isthereanydeal.com and buy most games at around $5, including triple A games, assuming I haven't already gotten them for free from Epic, Amazon or Good Ole Games.

    However, if I know it's NEVER going to go down or it's from Nintendo, torrents all the way.

    I used to, but steam is based in a banana republic where I don't want to send a single avoidable cent anymore. I stopped buying anything from steam months ago. Haven't gotten a new game since, but I will look into gog, who are based in Europe if I am not mistaken.

    I was checking this year and most of the things I want from a few years ago are still at 50%. But I don't have enough time to play everything so I won't likely pirate new stuff even though I very much know how to do so safely.

    Hell, new games aren't even competing with just each other- I've had a blast playing a lot of PS2 and PSP this year. When you don't give in to hype and peer pressure, you've got near limitless options for entertainment.
