I’m not rich but I’m definitely not poor. I only buy video games when they’re like $30 CAD or less. Only time I went against this rule was for Baldurs Gate.
141 hours of gameplay from start to finish and local split screen coop campaign. Probably the best gaming experience I’ve had together with my wife. Absolutely worth it at full price.

A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it’s price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don’t meet the system requirements, or just haven’t had the time to keep up with the latest releases.
So what you are saying is that it is only a marketing move to appeal to poorer people?

Hard agree. Too risky these days but bg3 was a sure bet.

Frugality does not imply a lack of wealth.
I would think it usually implies the opposite
We cannot get it because we are not rich but rich people aren’t frugal they don’t wait a videogame to drop 5$ in price to buy it
They don’t have to, but still can purchase the lower priced game, to get the same sale as you or me. Hence, frugality.
You can also view it as a strategy to extract more money from richer people, without sacrificing all the poorer customers.
