I cancelled too! I really wanna see what excuse Microsoft will pull out to walk back the changes.

Hit 'em where it hurts, people.

Pro financial tip: Be a patient gamer. Get the games you are interested in during sales. Fuck FOMO, subscription models and pre-orders.

    Lately, I've only been buying indie games. I can't justify dropping $70-$80 on one game and even when those games go on sale they're usually $40-$50.

    If you read reviews and do a little research you'll find that there are actually a lot of really cool indie games and you can get multiple games for just a fraction of the cost of double or triple A games.

    Yeah, I've got so many more games than I have time to play them that there's never a need to play full price for anything. I wishlist em and pick them up when they're on sale less than £10

    Exactly. My limit is also under 10 eur for most games on my wishlist, or 20 eur for games Im interested the most.

    Yeah. I might break my rule for phantom liberty, it's reduced to £17 at the mo. I'm enjoying cyberpunk so much I might make an exception here! But I've still got plenty in my backlog.

  • While I wouldn't say it is crucial by any means, it is a fun piece of DLC. I put over 400 hours into Cyberpunk before I got the DLC though, so that may have been why I was okay with purchasing it! Either way, it does make me happy to see someone enjoying the game! :-]
