    I’m pushing 40 so I’m not young but I’ve actually been buying more games lately thanks to being patient and not rushing out to buy AAA games along with switching from console to PC, gotta love Steam sales. I just bought two games I’ve been wanting to play for $30.

      Exactly, picked up RDR2, AC Odyssey and Bloodborne for about $45 recently. This constant pressure to move people toward a subscription model only works if there’s trust. Too much bullshit = shrinking sales

      I picked up three games for mad cheap that I’ve pirated for a long time. I’ll give you money devs, if the price is right.

      I’m a bit younger, though not a lot.

      I all but stopped buying games because Epic and Amazon give so many away for free.

      I’ve got like 500 free games that I haven’t even installed once.

      The only time I’d actually pay for a game is if it’s a special one I want, and they’ve gotten few and far between.
