This is why gamers will continue to be screwed by the industry.

    It appears that most people don’t care about spending $100 on a video game.

    I’m fine with spending $100 on a video game. I mean, said video game needs to provide reasonable value, but the amount of time I play a game varies way more than game price, is the dominant factor.

    I didn’t really like what I played of GTA 5 and probably won’t play this one, but for the right game, sure. If I could get a game I like similar to Oxygen Not Included, which I’ve played for many, many hours, I’d do $100 happily.

    pre-orders

    Now that I will agree with being a problem.

      I’d pay a $100 for a game I thought was worth that much. I’m not paying a greedy corp $100 just bc they’re bold enough to set that price.

      I am steadfastly resolved to never preorder anything ever again.

      Especially nowadays when there really is no limit in supply. There really is no harm in waiting for the release the initial reviews.
