>90% off, please...I beg you...play them
Wtf, I thought they were trying to make money? I'm beginning to think that the purpose of video games is to keep you from doing anything useful or fulfilling with your life.

modern video games fucking suck

>>509377306 (OP)
Buy an ad.

Video games are the one true hobby that cannot be soiled by planned obsolescence. You just have to find one you can put thousands of hours into.

All of those titles sick, thats why they are being given away.

you can download them all for free btw and they will remain in your library even when steam goes bankrupt

>>509377306 (OP)
After a certain point, very few people are going to buy a video game unless it is discounted. It doesnt take any money to make these licenses up, so they might as well make some amount of money

>thousands of hours into
And thats path of exile

Honestly I've been a gamer for as long as I can remember. I was 3 years old playing Tony Hawk on the PS1, that or Sonic Adventure on the Dreamcast was my first ever vidya.

Fast forward to now, I'll be 23 in two days and gaming is nowhere near as engaging or captivating as it used to be. It seems my girlfriend is more into it these days than me. She can sit there for hours playing hogwarts legacy and I'll just get super stoned and fall asleep.

Things like depression, getting older, the massive decrease in the quality of both games themselves and the games industry as a whole has all but killed one of my OG hobbies and it fucking sucks. Don't get me wrong, I still game, it just does not provide the same dopamine hit at all and is really just a time filling exercise rather than a choice in activity now.

>>509377306 (OP)
They're selling you a copy, one that's no longer selling. It costs them nearly nothing to produce and distribute another copy, so they'll drop the price to bring in more revenue through more sales that otherwise wouldn't happen.

Few people buying something expensive < fuckload of people buying many cheap things, especially when driven by fear of missing out on a temporary discount

Those are old games, almost everyone beat or played them. Most of these are mid. Only games to play right now are Nightreign, Baldur's Gate 3, Archaelund, and Stellar Blade.

Lately I've been playing a fair bit of Terraria again. Loved it on the 360 and love it modded on PC these days. Beat master mode Moon Lord again last night lol.

Wow, mindbroken. At some point tolerable became the new good. Crash was an okay game in 1998. It was never a great game. But in 2025 even a soulless remake stands out as being particularly good. How low we've fallen

Since day one of the summer sales on Steam I have been asking myself wtf is the symbolism behind picrel? Is any /poltard schizo here versed in occult symbolism able to explain what Gabe is trying to say? It has nothing to do with summer or sales.

Good. Videogames used to be $20-$40 until like 2009 when they shot up to $50-$60. Now they're what? $100? And for what? Slop.

Videogame systems used to cost $300. Now they're $1,000. Forget them.

>Videogames used to be $20-$40 until like 2009
No the fuck they weren't. 1st party playstation games in the mid late 90s were $50 and that price was a common reason for buying a playstation over an n64 as nintendo's first party carts were priced $60 and up depending on the title and time of year. Smash at the christmas immediately after release went for upwards of $100 in some parts of the US. Videogames have been immune to inflation for decades now. It's only the consoles and accessories that have increased in price over time but even they haven't increased substantially beyond the baseline rate of inflation.

And don't get me started on computer hardware.

Give me my indie shit and 4 year old games for £3 else I'll just go pirate

I used to buy pre-owned GameCube games at Gamestation 3 for £10, fuck paying more than that

Thats what mods are for, faggot

Most people who are picking these up will never play or even install them. They pick them up for "cheap" telling themselves they got a good deal but then they never end up playing the games because they have a massive backlog of other games and new ones.

he bought it because game review magazines said it was 10/10, but its obviously shit, even back then. he has told the story of how he got ripped off multiple times and started pirating software as a result, which he turned into a side hustle up until the mass democratization of the internet.

This entire society, every aspect of it, is designed around marketing, advertising, sales, and then you purchasing something.

That is the entire fucking game play loop the boomers have designed.
That is the end all, be all, of the boomers creative vision and the extent of their reach.

Consooming nigger kike slop endlessly like a hebrew Eruv wire circling the drain until exhaustion, hoping you do not notice them rob everyone blind because boomers are horrific greedy kike rats in whatever passes for their "soul".

On Steam, when you "buy" a game, you are actually purchasing a license to use the game, not the game itself. This means you don't own the game in the traditional sense and Steam retains the right to revoke your access to it under certain conditions, as outlined in their terms of service.

>Have multiple computers and want to install the same game.
you cant with the same steam account.

>No internet access for long periods
sorry you cant play your game.

>Want to give a game to a friend to borrow
sorry steam wont allow you to.

Fuck steam i don't give a shit if they are 100% off i will never install their spyware.

Video Games are coping mechanisms for those of us who don't have any friends

remember how awesome games used to be before 2010? EA used to have some great games back then. That company doesn't even resemble its former self. Thats not just nostalgia either.

robocop: rogue city has okay gameplay
somehow nails the aesthetic and feel of the movie

you can, you can even add family or friends to share game licencse for free and they can install the game on their accounts

you can play offline

It's entertainment for free and 70 hours per week labor for rent and food which can be made for near free compared to 100 years ago, if you avoid antagonizing fertilizer producers or regulate construction to use only price controlled materials. Both things done intentionally to keep the goyim laboring and not thinking

Dumbass i used to play vidya when i had friends now that i dont video games are something that doesnt even cross my mind.

>>509380608
I'm 34 and something similar happened to my around 20 where i used to be able to play halo or counter strike for hours on end and now it feels like a fucking chore to do. I bought a steam deck and barely ever play it. Once every few months ill get an otch and replay some gta or rdr2 on it for a few weeks then drop it altogether. I think getting laid and doing LSD when i went into college also killed it a bit. I'm also a hohol so life for my family since 2013 has been pretty hard so there's bigger worries as an adult I suppose

That does suck but its all relative. It's a cope but at the same time I have old video games collecting dust in my house that I havent touched in 20 years. Same with dvds and shit. It just takes up space. I dont even have a desire to own the media anymore. It actually seems kind of gay to want to collect it now days. Its all time wasting junk. If I put in my hours in a game or watching a movie for a price I'm ok with not owning it forevever. At a certain point you need to move on anyway.

They are a good way to relax and engage my brain in a way that keeps it active in specific ways, depending on the types of game, between doing other things. Some people are just victims of life and everything that happens to them is something elses fault, it's drugs fault or video games fault etc. that they are losers, everything is just a coping mechanism for why they can't have exactly what they want when they have a million other things.
