don’t go the the casino
pirate $600 worth of games
Infinite money glitch
I’d rather gaming developers have that money than casinos.
If only it was the programmers and the development team that received 100% of every purchase.
100% is a bit absurd but a large portion of the income yes
Yeah, even 50% would be baller. So like 20% to the storefront, 20% to the publisher, and 10% to random other costs.
I’m willing to be ridiculous, because the pittance most workaday programmers and designers get from their hits is also ridiculous.
I’d rather indie devs have that money than greedy corporations and casinos.
They won’t admit it, but most AAA game companies are casinos
Same. Most of the money I spend on games goes to indie devs, and I’ll usually only buy a AAA if it’s either on steep discount or actually really good. Something like 70% to indies, 30% to AAA.
And how many hours will you play those games?
Exactly. Videogames are some of the best value for entertainment you can find. There are a couple of games in my steam library that have cost me a few cents per hour of fun.
Paradox games, even with all the DLC, I get thousands of hours out of them. I definitely get my money’s worth that I don’t mind spending $20 on them every few months.
Exactly. So many people hate on them for their DLC policy, but if it’s your jam, having a game get freshened up every year for $15-20 or whatever for another few hundred hours is totally worth it.
Most of them? 0.
Heck, most of them will sit there in the library list forgotten, to be absentmindedly scrolled past in five years’ time with the thought “I really should install that game and give it a try… someday…”
Mmm, yes, the blessed consumptionism
