Video Games arent made for anyone who makes less than 100k a year anymore, amirite?

This is ridiculous.... Go buy Stardew Valley or Rimworld.

Why do you think it's ridiculous? A solution as simple as "just go buy [insert your fav game]" is not a fix. It's just ignoring the issue. Those games aren't made for everyone, especially someone like me. I find them boring and just not stimulating enough to enjoy. I'm not saying their bad games, but theyre not for me.

Agreed. I love games. I know there are great games out there by great devs, especially indie ones. But that doesnt mean im just gonna turn a blind eye into what the industry is becoming. Its also bad because so many potentially good games get ruined because the company behind the idea is profit-driven and end up making their game a microtransaction-filled shovelware

Buy games 1-1.5 years after a release. They have reasonable price and are well patched. Problem solved.

That is not solving the problem. The issue isn't going to go away by 1 person not playing anything for almost 2 years.

by Felipalittel 2 weeks ago

IT solves problem for you.

It does not because haming is my hobby and I want something fresh and exciting to play now. Not 2 years from now.

by Felipalittel 2 weeks ago

And i want a private Jet now, not work for it for a other 20years. What's wrong with you? There are plenty of games you can Play now when you wait till those released now are patched and for better price.

That is hardly a legit comparison lmfao

by Felipalittel 2 weeks ago

Yes! that's what I'm saying. I'm not saying it's an impossible scenario. I'm saying that it won't solve the underlying issue.

by Felipalittel 2 weeks ago

So what do you really expect? Devs wont change cause they don't have to.

I want something fresh and exciting to play now This is YOU being the problem and AAA devs just cashing in on you being a mindless consumer. It's definitely a YOU problem.

Well no, because I'm not actually buying this garbage. I'm just complaining about it lol

by Felipalittel 2 weeks ago

Yep. Same.

Big "I only buy the latest AAA game" energy here, but also an extremely weird idea that twitch streamers are the great power of the game industry. As if some guy spending 2k on lootboxes is the greatest thing a game could ever achieve on a financial level.

by ryleeklein 2 weeks ago

Not only that, but also "I need to buy everything on release".

by Anonymous 2 weeks ago

Last AAA title I bought was GoW Ragnarok, and that was 2 years ago. 1 guy spending 2k on loot boxes isn't a lot. But 600 of them spending 2k a month on loot boxes is something companies smile at.

Games cost $60 in the 90s they are more affordable now

Maybe you just need a different hobby if you don't like video games

by laruemayer 2 weeks ago

Maybe, I'm getting dulled out on the garbage that exist today

by Felipalittel 2 weeks ago

I see your point, but let's be real, there's still awesome games out there and I (someone who makes less than 100k btw) wouldn't mind paying more to enjoy them. Quality over quantity it is for me. I've also never been one to stress about getting a certain number of hours of fun per dollar spent. It's all about having a good time.

The Command and Conquer games were so good 😫 NFL 2k used to be so good as well. Sitting around the living room playing with your friends for hours. Now they can't make them because EA

by Felipalittel 2 weeks ago

I never spend more than 20$ for a game. If it's a game that I want to play and it's expensive, I wait even 2 years if needed for a discounted price or never buy it. Glad there are good indies games that I can spend thousands of hours, Factorio, Rimworld, 7 Days to Die, Project Zomboid for example.

I don't remember buying a game that wasn't on sale

How old are you can I ask?

by Anonymous 2 weeks ago

31, I work as engineer and I could afford a 60$ game once a month If I wanted.

by Anonymous 2 weeks ago

Then why not bro? There are some great games worth the money.

by Anonymous 2 weeks ago

It's doesn't take much to get partner though. And it's even less on platforms like twitch. Hell you got people still boasting about how call of duty is one of the best games ever in 2024. That's just objectively false. But it's clear they are getting paid to continue pushing that narrative.

by Felipalittel 2 weeks ago

You do the convenient thing where you leave out everything which is not AAA. Your argument ignores the vast majority of games being made.

by Anonymous 2 weeks ago

It's not convenient it's deliberate. AAA games are what's talked about most AAA games are what runs the market. AAA games are where the problem is at. My biggest issue that I'm trying to navigate is smaller developers and indie developers don't make games that I find interesting or fast paced enough for my brain not to just doze off. I get bored so fast and I don't want to play them anymore. Maybe I'm finding the wrong games?

by Felipalittel 2 weeks ago

I dont understand, why do I need at least 100k a year? I dont earn that much, but I still have enough to play games, there is tons of games that dont cost 60 ot 70 dollars, and even with the games that does, u still dont need that much cash to play them, u dont have to buy every single game that comes out. Just go and play the games u want, and if u want cheaper games, then buy older games, or indie games.

Not even an opinion just false

by Anonymous 2 weeks ago

Games are definately a lot worse. Anyone who argues that is just delusional. I actually dont think its the money that much, just the games are not worth anything and therefore seems like it.
