Don't pre order games. Don't buy games at full price. Support indie devs.
Do buy great indie games at full price to support indie devs even more (stardew, Balatro, dead cells, hollow knight, terraria, rimworld….)
I will buy indie games at full price, thank you very much.
I bought Schedule 1 for the full $20 last week.
I can't stop playing. It's too fun.
it seems I've bought it too. Not gonna lie, after reading the description... I have no idea what I'm getting into.
Honestly itch.io has plenty of free indie gems that can last me just as long as throwing $80 at a AAA game. I’d rather donate/tip after the fact for genuine well-crafted experiences
Tell the Nintendo crowd lol
I'll still buy FromSoft games at full price. But only because I know they won't disappoint. And Took Taro's games.
But in general, it would be beneficial for more people to spend less on games.
