Interesting question I heard the other day.
I mean, most people refuse to buy games during steam sales unless it's 75%-90% off. Another point was that with all these games being bought, it almost makes the value feel lost. Like, idk lets say back then you loved candy but you couldn't get it much. You got a candy bar once a month. Whenever you had it, you valued every bit of it. The same could be said for games tbh, there are certainly people like that who only had one new game to play and played it to death. But now with bundles and sales you probably have a lot of junk in your library. I guess like, if you got a chocolate bar more often than usual you wouldn't cherish it as much if you get what I'm saying? Others are saying that's whats happening to gaming.
I don't really buy bundles or games unless I really want them since I'm picky, so I don't have this problem. I mean yeah sometimes the sales push people into this "if it's not a flash/daily sale don't buy it" mentality, but you can't really blame them for wanting the best deal. In my opinion I don't think sales are hurting gaming overall. I've played pretty much every game in my library for a while (besides the indie pack my friend bought me+ sakura spirit bc tht was a joke) so I'm pretty content with my games so far. But I know others with like, hundreds and hundreds of games have this huge backlog of games to play. Games they usually never get to playing.
Sales are better than piracy at least, and some could argue it's better to have a game you will never play in your library than to never get it at all. I for one love sales, because I wouldn't have a chance to play games n the first place without them. Same goes for others.
What do you think about it?
