    Yeah and?

    Like, let the players get to their backlog. Good opportunity while the prices appear to be the same no matter the age of the game most times.

      I mean if people aren’t buying new games it’s def a bag thing for the developers and publishers. Feel however you want about them but modern AAA games don’t get made without crazy investments. Hell even AA games are starting to eat 10s of millions.

        If they are investing huge amounts of money and not seeing a return on that investment, maybe they will stop churning out microtransaction slop if it keeps failing.

        Probably not, but one can hope.
