      Everything about games is horridly expensive these days.
      PC/XBONE/PS4
      Shiny New Game! Buy (mostly complete) game for an overly inflated price and THEN buy bits n pieces to "complete" the game (DLC), other micro-transactions for early/unique unlocks, season passes --> Look! Shiny New Game! rinse and repeat.

      I think I'll stick to buying games >2 years old when they get super cheap and DLC inclusive.
      Also, most of the bugs should be ironed out too 😄

      Unfortunately we let them get away with it and make it a successful business model.

        I'm trying to take no part in it. I've been successful so far but I'm not making promises about the future. There might just be something that's too good to wait for. Highly unlikely but I'll leave the door ajar

          Not in the US. You can modify a standard desktop for $150 to run nearly all games easily. And you can buy gobs and gobs of awesome games from Steam, GOG and others for pennies. I think my average game purchase is like $1-$2!! So cheap.

            It's tough when games are still mildly successful with pay to win--I mean even outside of mobile games.

                  Loving Stardew Valley. If you haven't played Undertale I highly recommend it.

                      I got one of those around a year ago. Got myself a 10000mah usb battery/charger and a bluetooth to aux jack adapter for the car.

                                @scottalanmiller But I don't have a computer! Lol... well I finally do now, but at the time, my 8 year old computer took a dumb. The motherboard decided to harikari itself.
                                Well.......darnit I guess I could start getting a new build together piece by piece. Definitely not fixing my dinosaur. What's a DDR2 and a Q9650? Lol...or a GTX 280....

                                            Didn't get much gaming done this weekend - played a bit of CrossFire and had a game of DotA but that's about it - Took me a while to get onto dota as the dll of actual multiple monitors was causing it to crash before it had even opened - slightly annoying, so had to close AMM before playing...

                                            Also got in touch with EA support to get my origin account back (some dodgy Russian had managed to get into it) - but I have 2 new games on it now, so can't all be bad :') (I also now have 2FA setup on it - when I last logged in, November 2013, that wasn't an option!)
