What are your gaming pet peeves?

[Gingerbread Demon]

Game prices gone wild! I was just browsing the Playstation store, noticed The Crew Motorfest was on sale. The ultimate edition is $135 Canadian. Sorry, I know developers need to make money, but that just feels like way too much. It's disgusting. So, in relation to this thread, I'd say inflated game prices. I know some studios have said game prices would be going up, but this is frankly insane.

They know gamers will pay and not protest

I tend to get games that are a few years old, ideally secondhand, because they are more affordable. Occasionally there will be a new title that I absolutely must get during release week, though.

Yeah, well, at that price I wonder how much they'll sell.

It's the mobile games that really bleed you. $1.99, 2.99, or 4.99 at a time.

Gotchu ladies and gents.

—Kinguin
—CDKeys

just picked up a Steam copy of Mass Effect: Legendary Edition for like $20 off of CD Keys.

 

[Gingerbread Demon]

Is CD Keys legit

 

[Michael Two Wolves]

Yes! I use them now because I got burned on Kinguin and started getting bogus charges. But that was really the seller, not Kinguin. Kinguin doesn’t like discover card. I’ve gotten several games from CD Keys with no problems, though.

So how does it work? You register on there get a steam code and use that?

Never mind I registered and got what I wanted

 

[Michael Two Wolves]

Awesome! Yeah, it’s easy. Just sign up for a free account and browse games at wholesale prices. They offer games for other platforms like Origin and whatnot, too.

Yeah, no doubt. I really despise the mobile game model, and that's likely why I generally don't play mobile games.

This is why I have no interest in getting a digital only console. Red Dead Redemption 2, a five year old game, is still £55 on the playstation store. That's just plain greed.

 

[Michael Two Wolves]

Alas, Playstation doesn't permit its titles to be sold on Kinguin, G2A, CDKeys and the like.

 

[Smellmet]

They should reduce the price of games on their store at that age.

Stores don't usually dictate the prices. It's the devs/publishers.

So why can I purchase the physical copy for a lot less?

Because that's the price the publishers and devs agreed to sell their physical media

Yeah, that's the other thing too. There are some games that hardly ever go on sale and have stayed more or less the same price for years. And even when Sony has their sales, it still never does, or either only goes for 15% off. An example of this would be No Man's Sky, which has been holding at $79.99 for years ever since it got published.
