AAA games rarely go on sale anymore, Dragon Quest Builders 2 is like 7 years old, and still 50 bucks, and last sale it went down to 25. 25 for a 7 year old game is just brutal absurdity.
and I just use that as an example, its the same almost across the entire board.
The only saving grace in gaming right now is indie games. Which are typically affordable.
Literally BF6 is on sale right now for 40% off. It was 50% off on some locations on Black Friday. It was 30% off 4 months ago. It was released early October. That’s 4 sales in 7 months for a AAA game.
I’ve bought Stray, Cyberpunk 2077, GTA, Elite: Dangeorus, Borderlands series, and many others all on sale and even a couple games for free.
I can’t help it if your particular games don’t get discounted, but telling me AAA games rarely do is completely wrong.
Yeah, and you are conveniently skipping over the most relevant part.
Lowest price history for cyberpunk 2077 is 20 bucks. 20 bucks for a 5 year old game is ridiculously overpriced.
Grand Theft Auto never goes under 15 dollars, which is over priced for how old the game is.
I personally wouldnt consider borderlands AAA games, but congratulations, you found the one game that had an actual legitimate sale and age related price drop with Elite: Dangerous, with the base games lowest sale price recorded as 2 bucks. WIth it currently on sale for 5. for a 11 year old game. Which is what the prices should be for an old game, and what all the other games should be doing once they are out of their content window.
Also, you don’t have to be so goddamn dismissive and hostile. I gave an example of my argument. Did you expect me to spend 3 weeks researching so i could produce a scientific paper detailing every game that is over priced?
There was nothing hostile in what I said. Maybe you don’t like being proven wrog? I didn’t expect anything of you much less a hyperbolic research paper, but nonetheless you chose hyperbole and shuffled the goalposts instead of actually continuing the discussion. I never said when I bought the games, but convenient of you to arbitrarily decide how old a game is before it’s not worth it for you. Nonetheless they’re on sale by your own admission, so that blows your “rarely” out of the water while you ignore BF6 being repeatedly on sale. But I suppose you’ll make excuses about that too?
Brother, this isnt 2004.
