Holy shit, I got Baldur's Gate 3 recently on sale for less than this lazy remaster of a 19 year old game.

Gamers are lapping this shit up too. What happened to the rage people had for the Switch 2 being expensive?

Bethesda fans are a different breed to the ones getting mad about Nintendo

I guess there's no more marrow in the bones of skyrim?

Where's the remaster of their last actually good game? Daggerfall?

agony-shivering lmao $50 US for a texture/model update is now being called high calibre and generous lmao gamers

[–] TheSpectreOfGay@hexbear.net 15 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

yea it's crazy, people see not $80 USD and go "wow, this is so great, they're so generous"

idk if it's that im too indie pilled but if a game is more than like $20 i usually wait for it to go on sale or pirate it

One of the benefits of growing up with the same Pentium I well into the era of Pentium IVs is I learned to rummage through bargain bins for old software and play the same games for years on end. I am not paying eighty fucking dollars for a video game I know will be $10 in less than five years. I probably don't even want to play Oblivion because I haven't even played all the other RPGs I own.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

I read that $15 DLC thing as like the upgrade from the original game and thought "at least they discounted it for people who already bought it" but realized that's just the premium shit. Original game with all the DLC is $25CAD and I assume that goes on sale down to half that pretty frequently. Plus piracy is still an option.

Thanks for the price hike normalization, Nintendo.
