always seeking the first high of that one game that changed our life. and it never happens. so we try again. and again. and ooooh 90% off! i hate the genre, but it would be stupid not to take advantage
I sometimes buy games just because I watch videos of other people playing them, in order to support the developers.
Yes, that will be believable…
Since I started !freegames@feddit.uk I’ve not spent a penny in the Steam sales, unfortunately my backlog is now about five times as long.
I’ve had steam for about 6 years now, and I’ve only bought one game for $0.99. I can’t even review games or make comments. lol
On the other hand, I have heroic launcher installed and it has over 85 games that I got for free from epic, gog and Amazon gaming. I have so many games that will last me a life time with the pace I play.
In some cases my 0 minutes played are because I bought it in Steam but had to go get a pirate version to play it in Linux (via Lutris and Wine rather than Steam and Proton) since the Steam version didn’t work in Linux but the pirate one did (probably something to do with the game’s own DRM, which in the pirate version has been cracked)
Which, IMHO, is more sad than just buying a game because it’s cheap and never actually getting around to playing it.
