Little different for me:

$1 - 5 = $5

$6 - 12 = $10

$13 - 20 = $20

$21 - 50 = $50

$51 - 70 = $100

>$70 = $1000

60+: Haha, I can't imagine it's worth it.

20-59: Buy if it comes strongly recommended.

10-19: Impulse buy if the description and screenshots look cool.

1-9: Buy if I like the store thumbnail.

0: Hahaha FUCK no this will hold the game flow hostage every few hours to get me to pay infinite money.

EDIT: YES I know proper - often Open Source - free games exist. :) OpenTTD and good ol' Nethack are my faves

Am I weird for rounding 8 to 10??

First, these jabronies need adderall.

Second, I need adderall.

I think we’re the same sort of jabroni.

This is a really basic business concept; business 101 stuff. They definitely didn't make it up, they're just using it.

It works against the general population, if this particular one doesn't, don't get too busy strutting, there is almost certainly something else that does work on you.

Buy shit because you need/want it, not because it's a deal.

This feels like a Discworld scene.

Finally, someone who thinks like me

Meanwhile factorio devs being chads and going with a round number for pricing.

i get it but for me 8 is 10

Every premise leading to the conclusion here is verifiably false, and yet they all completely make sense.

The best bang for buck Steam purchase I've done is Halo MCC for 39,99€. Five great games plus Halo 4.

For me, it goes:

0 - hell no

1 to 5 - sure why not, that's about as much as a bottled drink.

6 to 10 - maybe once a month.

11 to 15 - better be a pretty damn good game, or I'm refunding.

16 to 20 - I'm waiting for a discount, not worth it.

21 to 60 - hell no

61+ - I'm blacklisting your company from my recommendations.

That trick with the $ x.99 all over again.

For me, the price listed is the price listed. If it's $5, it's $5. $8 is $8, etc.

This kind of ratio would just confuse me otherwise.

A reminder that you don't need to know advanced maths to be a developer. Just call the necessary functions to do the job

For something that makes absolutely no sense at all, this makes a lot of sense.

We supposedly evolved to perceive values logarithmically. The difference between 1 to 3 should feel bigger than 3 to 5. Yet, the difference between $5 and $10 feels to me way more than the difference between $1 and $5.

Maybe I'm just broke as shit and think $10 is a lot of money
