Wait 3-6 months after release and get it on sale.
Wait a year post release, get it on sale, put it in the backlog with all the others, play your one comfort game and doomscroll your preferred social media feeds instead of ever playing it
Ouch. Damn, dude. Stop looking over my shoulder.
Was not expecting personal attacks like this :'(
Almost a decade
Over a decade
GTA V turned 10 years old last September. I’ll let that sink in
Considering the size of my Steam library and the amount of games I want to play but haven’t touched yet… I can wait 10 years
I just played through Portal 1 for the first time, which is a game I knew I wanted to play ever since it came out in '07.
Was it worth the wait? I loved the game, and also came to the party years after its release
came to the party years after its release
Was there finally cake? Were all your best friends there instead of just turrets and deadly neurotoxin?
Haha hope you enjoy(ed) Portal 2 also. It’s an excellent sequel. :D
Hell yeah, that was a terrific sequel!
Don’t think I ever actually found the rumored cake… 🤔
Anybody ever play the game “Ocarina of Time”? Is it any good?
Ship of harkinian? Never heard of it
The New one with the 3d Graphics? I will stick to my snes.
Secret of Mana was good
Patient Gamers rise up
When you’re ready.
Eventually, no rush though could always wait for tomorrow.
Maybe not too patient but rn I’m playing Assassin’s creed Origins (2017) I bought for €14. I don’t often have time to play but when I do I’m really enjoying it! Before this I was playing Shadow of Mordor (2014).
Finished Shadow of Mordor like 6 months ago, super fun game!
Opulent Pooh: Play it for free when it launches, and decide to buy the game after, if you liked it
Plus, by then the most egregious bugs will have been fixed (quite likely through mods).
Why does anyone preorder games?
I have to imagine it’s a holdover impulse from the days of physical media where stores had limited copies. Why anyone would preorder a digital download is beyond me, unless there are some perks.
Depends on if it’s a series I’m heavily invested in or a dev I really want to support. I’m massively into the trails of series and if I could preorder those I would.
The only game I preordered was Monster Hunter Rise. They offered a demo that I played longer than most games currently in my library and it was polished and showed no performance issues. It showed me that it was the game I wanted it to be. So I nabbed it for a preorder discount deal from a 3rd party, legit storefront to save some cash. And it was my favorite of the series and my most played individual title. Maybe that’s all rationalization of something I still shouldn’t have done, but if you are discerning, it works.
The last time I preordered a game, I had played a leaked alpha build for a while before release, for like 40 hours. It was pretty broken, but it was a lot of fun, so I figured it was fair to pay for the game already.
I’d say there are very exceptional cases where it isn’t absurd to preorder, but those are less than 1% of all preorders that actually take place.
i would preorder games from a studio i like to boost their capital while they are still developing. it seems better than them having a lower budget or getting shady investors. but somehow those who are worthy are the same folk who dont do preorders😂
I preorder the next expansion for FFXIV. But I have played the game for 8 to 9 years. Other than that I wait to see what happens when a title drops
Same. I haven’t played as long as you as I think but I’m not really an mmo person as I get bored after a few weeks with most but FFXIV has kept me interested for years. And I’m really attached to my WoL at this point and I want to see where the journey goes.
If I want to play on release day, I would preorder to preinstall the game while I am working so I can play it when I get home. Also, preorders usually have bonus items, like physical stuff.
I preordered the collectors edition of Elden Ring, and White Snow edition of NieR Automata, for example. Both came with a wide variety of various physical goods that were exclusive to those preorder editions.
How you get it for free 10 yrs later?
I mean if you pirating you can do that at least a few yrs earlier.I got half life for free when steam did the 25 year anniversary promotion for it. So you can actually get free games if you wait long enough lol.
I also got little nightmares for free as well, but I don’t remember the occasion.
If I remember correctly I think they gave it away for free as part of a promo for the sequel.
Sometimes you can get a game for free on steam, or something like $5. GTAV is still around $20 when steam does their discounts.
It was free for like a week once a few years ago.
Nintendo would like to have a word with you

No, I like my dick being sucked.
As someone with a 1060 in a Proxmox rig and a discounted M2 MacBook air, I felt all of this
deleted by creator
I’m about 2 weeks in with the MacBook so probably too early to comment! But happy so far so the basic needs are met. Gaming will be mostly emulation and moonlight via Proxmox on my TV. Huge stream backlog so I’m not rushing with modern games 😅
I really don’t understand the (clearly faulty) logic that OP is going by here. Games becoming officially free is not common at all. I’m sitting here trying to understand how this image and post were made, and the only conclusion I can come to is pure idiocy and ignorance. Either you pirate the game, which is possible on the day of release for 99% of games, or it’s given away in some way which doesn’t happen at all for 99% of games. There’s just nothing that this is based on, it’s so weird.
You’re absolutely right, I don’t understand either.
Or if its from Ubisoft never get a Chance to play it because they shut the Servers down after 10 Years
If a game requires a connection to a server to run I just don’t bother.
Unless the server software is available so anyone can set one up.
Meanwhile Nintendo: almost wait a decade to pay 2x the original price on the used market
More like re-purchase it for twice the price on the next console’s eShop
