I was looking at my steam library earlier and realized i’ve only actually played 3 AAA in almost 5 years now lol
i don’t buy games unless they’re mmo/online based and i have to. i piratebay everything else.
the exception is if a small studio (~10 or less) and the game is obscure (they aren’t rolling in the dough) then i will go ahead and buy it if it’s a good game.
my game buying strategy is to buy like 1 a year and be really into it for a while. pretty much 100% indie games, unless factorio and minecraft don’t count (i bought the latter in like 2013)
I don’t buy many games, but I especially never buy $70 games. That doesn’t mean I don’t play them though.
I’ve bought about a dozen Humble Bundles though, so I have literally hundreds of indie games I’ve never touched lmao.
i bought the big BLM bundle back in 2020 and have literally only played Celeste lol
Oh shit I got that too. Was I obligated to download everything right away, or does my itch dot io account keep track of what I paid for already?
I only ever buy AAA games if I get them at a really cheap price e.g. humble bundle deals. Indie games I usually won’t pay full price for but I’d buy them if they were like 50% off
Outside of some occasional exceptions: I pirate most AAA games and buy indie.
