Never preorder. Never buy on day 1. Never pay full price.
There are enough games out there to play that you can always find something else until it’s been vetted and discounted.
Sometimes I’m really excited about a game.
That doesn’t make me a gullible sucker. I mean, in theory, anyway.
I have a few early access games in my library, but they have been “early access” for 5 years now. IMO that doesn’t count as “early” anymore. I’ve never bought a game within the first year of release, much less 5 days before release. But if people are willing to do that, hey, it’s their choice to get disappointed 🤷
Just because they’re normalised, it doesn’t mean they’ve won. There are still plenty of us out there who refuse to pay full price for a game, let alone do something as stupid as pre-order
They won that too, because people wait for sales they never have to reduce their prices
Tough luck if you miss the sale
Then there’s always the other means.
Is that why some games in my isthereanydeal list still are 30 € after years?
This one never seemed like a big deal to me compared to some of the other blatantly manipulative practices they sometimes employ
