Well, /v/? How do you justify spending so much on games?

>>713956915 (OP)
Stop being poor /v/

It's hard spending money on games, yeah. I work so much just to be able to afford the new AAA titles

what else am I gonna spend my money on

>>713956983
I inherited half a mill earlier this year, and I still refuse to pay full price for games. Even the current summer sale is laughable.

>>713956915 (OP)
>New video games cost me a whole days wages
If you have a minimum wage job your focus should be on getting a NOT minimum wage job, not on buying new fucking vidya.

>>713956915 (OP)
You don't understand, I MUST acquire it as soon as it comes out! I simply cannot wait a few months for a sale!

Why the fuck would I pay for something I don't own?

>>713957127
it's more like a year or so but yeah. I've been waiting for persona 3 reload to hit 20$ since it came out

Just donate plasma for new games.

>>713956915 (OP)
I just bought 10 games during the summer sale for the cost of 1 Switch 2 game so I'm good man.
Also I have a real job.

>>713956915 (OP)
>minimum wage is $20
>8 hours × $20 = $160
lol do zoomers just work 4 hours a day?

>>713957081
yeah sales are basically their old base prices

I make about $20 an hour, for every hour of every day of the entire year. Stop being poor.

>>713957294
So a shitter job with no qualifications usually gives sub 40 hr work weeks
So that + taxes makes that pitiful income even smaller

>>713956915 (OP)
This is true if you live in a turd world country. The less turd worlders in my vidya, the better, frankly.

>>713957543
Hey now be nice to Americans, they have it rough

even discounted, modern games aren't worth it

>>713956915 (OP)
I haven't bought anything more than $10 over the past 10 years and I've never once run out of great games to play. I haven't even spent $5 total this year and I've clocked over 400 hours across multiple great games. Just wait for sales and grab freebies when you can. You'll only have a problem if you're a normie faggot who has to play the latest AAA slop.

>>713957752
what's that in freedom bucks

>>713957543
there's no more obvious sign of being poor than bragging about buying cheap things like video games or tvs

>>713957458
even considering 12% taxes on a 40 hr work week assuming min wage, you'll be earning $144 a day. Stop whining.

>>713956915 (OP)
I get money from the goverment casue of my autism, I have a 5090 and 9800X3D and buy as many games as I want and just play them. I don't have kids or a wife.

>>713957797
this. it's nigger behavior.

don't let rich people tell you you're poor anons

>>713956915 (OP)
>making $25k a year
>in the US
cool unreported tips, waitstaff-kun

>>713957962
it's not even rich people - just other middle class cattle who only know how to consoom and who think buying a video games means they're well off

>>713957051
I don't know ? Maybe saving for your retirement fund, saving for your child's college, paying for your insurances, buying a new house, a car, etc like any normal person.

>>713956915 (OP)
It's really not an issue when you only buy like 1 - 3 new games through the year.
For the most part, you can get by decently well by grabbing stuff during sales. And that's ignoring emulation and piracy.

>>713957127
Even on sale, there's a game going for 15 bucks, and I'm trying to justify if I want to buy it or not.

i make $85k and still only buy games at 50% sale minimum.

>>713957797
you're on /v/

>>713958140
>having children

>>713958140
I get a retirement fund from my government, having kids is dumb, I dont need to pay for insurance in my country, I travel so i dont want to own a house, i live in a city where you can walk everywhere. Americans are so fucking cooked lmfao

>>713956915 (OP)
Spend?

>>713956915 (OP)
I don't spend money on video games. I just shit post here and play blitz chess and pokemon showdown 90% of the time

One of my friends gifted me Helldivers 2 so I sometimes play that if I'm invited.

>>713956915 (OP)
damn that's like 30 video games a month

>>713957898
>I don't have kids or a wife.
Do your toys and material items not make you sad over valuing real life people and experiences?

>>713958567
Why are you on 4chan right now instead of having those experiences yourself?

>>713958327
>>713958348
go back to r/antinatalism

>>713958567
I had 30 years of wild fun, I had a fiancee, I went to many parties and banged a lot of women. Once I turned 30 I decided that life is not the one i want to seek, so instead I focus on things I enjoy, like making music and playing video games, photography, taking my dog for walk, drone photography. There is a big difference between solitude and loneliness.

>>713958620
I've already had them and now I just enjoy life. Shitposting is a good way to spend your time

>>713958683
I see. I like you anon this is a based reply.

>>713956915 (OP)
Until my housing costs are under 1/3rd of my monthly income I do not spend money on entertainment. If the entertainment industry wants my money the entertainment jews need to talk to the landlord jews and get them to knock off their bullshit.

>>713958671
Why do you know what that is anon? I had to look it up, it seems like you need to get back to that site you fucking faggot

>>713958802
nta but it's good to know your enemies, it means you can hurt them easier.

>>713958775
complete cope, follow your own advice you absolute faggot

Just get a small loan of a million dollars.

>>713958802
>why do you have knowledge about 10th grade philosophy?

>>713958671
>redditor

of course

>>713958217
If you aren't certain that you are going to play the game as soon as you buy it, odds are you should just wait for the next sale. Especially if you already have a backlog.

>>713956915 (OP)
A WHOLE DAY?!?! OUTRAGEEOOS

>>713957081
Nice. That's enough money to buy whatever the fuck you want in moderation.

>>713956915 (OP)
I mostly don't anymore, I still have a massive list of games yet to be played so its hard to justify enlarging that list even without considering the increased price of modern games.

>>713956915 (OP)
>buying new games while they're brand new instead of waiting a couple of months
LOL.
LMAO.

>>713959402
Good point, plus later this year the series is getting a new installment anyways.

>>713956915 (OP)
there are less than 5 good games to buy a year since 2016

less then 15 of the same price if we're talking indies

>>713958263
This, being wealthy isn't an excuse to act retarded.

>>713960421
What are you going to do with it as far as things you would like to buy(toys), everybody who comes into money has a few things they've always wanted and weren't able to get before.

>>713960421
>kills the economy with one simple trick

>>713956915 (OP)
I can buy whatever I want thanks to a significant amount of wealth. But I mostly pirate. Only buy games from devs I respect. If I don't like what someone creates or the things they say then i don't want them to have money, well... my money at least.

>>713956915 (OP)
it's an hour for me but there's nothing wrong with pirating and it should be legal to share a game as long as it's not for profit.

>>713960736
I use it to help family and friends who are struggling, and for travel.

>>713960779

>This bitch makes $80 a day
>she wastes that shit on video games
She's going to be poor forever. I make more than that and have bought 2 games this year and pirated 400.

>>713956915 (OP)
like three games worth buying come out a year, so really doesn't bother me that much if they cost an extra 10 bucks

>>713956915 (OP)
Hold on, since when do games cost 12 dollars?

>>713957127
steam sales aren't what they used to be. looked at a couple things on my wishlist for the current sale and they're still like $45 despite being 3+ years old. feels like it used to be that after 2 years, there was a good chance any game would be under $30 for a steam sale

>>713956915 (OP)
So you earn $700 biweekly? Honestly I think thats more of a you problem than anything. I’m sure anyone can find a better paying job than that, unless you actually enjoy that low paying job for whatever reason.

>>713960736
Not that anon, but a 500k inheritance isn't exactly the kind of money that would allow you to buy anything most people with jobs couldn't already afford on an average salary. That kind of money is great for making investments, not for spending it on stupid shit.

>>713960936
Trading cash for spiritual wealth is a good idea, I do that as well(not as much as I could though).

>>713957752
>A$ 67.96
what does that come to in real money

>>713956915 (OP)
Poorfags have no winnable argument. You are the losers of this timeline. Want to reverse the table? Go start a revolution and burn the rich or something.

Remember the early 2010's? Those were actual Steam sales. Today corporate greed runs rampant.
