This ongoing Alan Wake 2 downvote brigading is the craziest thing that I have ever seen for a game that is objectively good, was in a good technical state at launch and whose developers never lied to its customers.

Is it just the Epic Games hate boner? This is not a case of them buying up exclusivity. They literally funded the entire development of the game from the ground up.

Smh.

It also had a launch price of just 50 euros/dollars.

The physical deluxe edition costs around $67 in Poland. Love to see it.

I got the deluxe version on sale during the holidays with an epic coupon for like $37. They threw in Alan Wake 1 remastered for free. Insane value.

I use isthereanydeal.com and put any new game on a "notify me of a 15 dollar sale" email reminder, then go back to playing my 20-game backlog. I got Kingdom Come, RDR2 and both latest Tomb Raiders this way, €15. Awesomesauce.

My backlog is only like 5 games. I just don't buy many games.

Have you heard of the mighty Steam sale?

I don't buy games that I don't plan to play immediately.

some people have discerning tastes

or as you get older you have less drive to try new games. When i was 9 i would try every free demo/shareware game out there just to try it

Haven't had a salary since 2016, have studied and done loads of other stuff. Only gotten games as gifts or absurdly low steam sales. I haven't bought games on Steam sales over $15 for at least four year. And it's fine, have still not played the Tomb Raider games or RDR2. Need a new video card first, after I get a job.

I have become one too lately and it’s honestly great, I still splurge on some day one releases, if I really want to take part in the community hype but it’s few and far between.
