To that point I moved away from early purchases of a lot of AAA games just watching the patterns on pricing. They'd be out two months and be 60% off already. What a fool I felt like paying full price.
Now though, almost any game I consider is guilty of one of (or both) DEI and general shit quality until proven innocent. I just play old stuff. It's even cheaper for PC hardware that I haven't needed to upgrade in a handful of years now.
I upgraded not long ago, and I regret it. My most played games over the last year would have run just fine on my old hardware, and I see nothing in the high-end pipeline that remotely interests me. Hell, my own most reliable AAA developer is From Soft, and their next two releases are online multiplayer only slop. It’s bleak out there lol
