    If that sale magnitude doesn’t happen, I won’t buy the game.

    It’s really not difficult. You don’t have to buy the game. You can just choose not to play it.

      So when everyone adapts those new prices, you’ll quit buying games / quit gaming / pirate everything. That’s your glorious solution.

        Yes, because you know what? It is a solution, if everyone does it. If they started releasing games at $80, and everyone just said “Nope, sorry!” and refused to pay it, that practice would stop really fast. I have a huge game backlog, and there’s tons of great indie games with $10-$25 price tags that won’t be subject to this bullshit.

        What’s your plan to discourage this practice, complain about it on Lemmy and then buy the games anyway? I’m sure that’ll be madly successful.

          You’re literally contradicting the original comment you were agreeing with now. lol

            I can’t control what anyone else does, but I can control what I do, and I’m right there with the post I’m agreeing with: I’ll wait for a sale, and if that sale never comes, I won’t buy it. There’s no disagreement or contradiction there.

                Do it. If people want to pay high prices for brand new video games, let them pay it. I’ll just do what I’ve always done; wait for a sale.

                If you think that’s in favor of paying such prices, and defending the practice, I don’t even know what to say.

                  It’s very apparent for this entire comment chain that you don’t know what you’re saying. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
