One way to get out of the video-game industry funk is to recognize that players aren’t spending $70 on most games

    I limit myself to one or two “new full price” purchases a year, and it’s usually games from known devs i want to support that I’m excited about.

      I would struggle to find 2 I actually want, but £250 is about what I spent on steam last year, mix of about 15 games and a few expansions. So I guess a bit more money in total but way more games by getting cheaper ones. Looking back there are a few that were probably not really worth buying but perhaps if they get updated in future I might get some more time out of them.

      Best advice for myself to follow to avoid disappointments in future I think would be to avoid games near release if I have not enjoyed a similar game from that dev in the past. Sequels to games I enjoyed are consistently good buys, but if its new that has the highest disappointment rate.
