    That’s silly and dumb on top, because games rapidly lose value. The $60 game you buy today (and don’t play) costs $40 in a year. And will be in a $12 Humble Bundle with 9 other games in 3-5 years tops.

    I already get enough games in bundles that I don’t play, when I actually buy a game (even on sale) I only do it if I want to play it immediately. Otherwise in the future it will be cheaper anyway and have plenty of updates on top (if it didn’t get abandoned).

      The thing is: I’d never buy a €60 game, because money is hard to earn. I have clear priorities, games are just a hobby.

      Most of the games I buy are either old and more suitable to run on lower end hardware, or discounted, or bundles. I hate multiplayer games, so I won’t jump on the latest hyped up AAA franchise either. I’m a proud member of /c/patientgamers and /c/retrogamers.

      My comment was meant as a tribute to how much gaming on Linux has improved, and to the people that make it happen.
