    People pull back discretionary spending during times of economic struggle

    I agree, I’ve always been a patient gamer in regards to picking up titles. With rare exceptions (I got Starfield, I don’t have any regrets though the game is not worth $60 in its current state, I just have over 17k hours across 3 Bethesda titles.) but why spend $60 on the game to have it now when I can spend $15 in a few years to have it then?

    I got Outer Worlds for free thanks to the Epic Games store. And I’m honestly loving it! Free has never been so nice. I’m happy waiting for games because there are so many older games out there that are still worth playing.

    There are a lot of really cool AAA titles set to come out soon. I’m watching Black Myth Wukong. If the reviews are good and the game is polished I’ll pick it up for full price even. I think the big issues with $60+ games is they’ve consistently been horrible quality for the price and the AAA devs abandon their games within the next year without any further support.
