Which game have you been the most patient for (as in, delaying purchase)?

For me, it would have to be GTA V. I stopped playing games for years, then built a new rig in 2018. Since then I’ve played through GTA IV (well, I beat the story, and it was amazing), but I never played GTA V.

My plan is to purchase it and start playing it the day GTA VI is released, as I have enough other games to get through in the meantime.

Imo that’s backwards. Who cares. The backers backed it because they believed in the vision, and now it’s been realized, so it’s done.

It’d be like getting mad that I bought a game full-price and then some time later it goes on sale.

Edit: I’d also like to add that they’d probably get even more sales if they put more of a discount on their games more often. Allow the super-budget gamers a chance to actually pay for your game you know?

Hell, I hope someone over there is reading this:

Considering your crowd-funded game’s MSRP floor as equal to a donation tier of said backers?

Easy solve.

Announce the sale and follow immediately with “Backer’s Choice”: either a refund of the difference or a free copy to gift to someone.

Boom. Sales through the roof like beanstalks.

Now, go get me that golden egg, ya marketing spooks.🤌🏼
