yikes that's 7 hours of work for me
>work
Imagine not getting NEET bucks. I love Canada so much. I haven't worked in three years and am able to afford the best graphics cards and computer parts AND have all the time in the world to play them. Imagine having kids HAHA fricking chuds getting trapped for life paying for some other human not to mention having to deal with 3D women. NO THANK YOU.
it's notoriously difficult to get neetbucks in canada, not sure what you're on about
Only if you are some how more moronic then actual morons anon...all i had to do was talk to a social worker who told me what to say and my doctor is also based and signed off on everything. It's way way easier then you think. I just have ADHD
I'd sign off on you too bud, take it easy. I know it's hard for you and I don't expect you to get anywhere. Have fun 🙂
Seething.
T. Wageslave, neet chads have beat the system.
being paid to be a useless b***h is only fun to an extent, i used to be like this but being able to go out+doing whatever the frick i want is way better and it also improved my health so idk man you are probably too ugly/annoying to be able to have anyone like you if you want to stay like this
in before "lul wagecuck i beat the system" nice cope bro used to say the same shit
The real beating the system is working as technical maintenance in a place where the system runs perfectly 95% of the time. Most of my days are just being present, slacking off and occasionally walking around checking shit. Then once every month i have a 16 hour day fixing something that majorly fricked up. Pay is good and benefits are greater.
>being present
I'd rather do the slacking remotely
>being able to go out+doing whatever the frick i want
not the guy you replied to but if he has the money he'd be able to do the same thing too no?
the difference is i'd rather do whatever the frick i want to do without having to wageslave
this
t. cyber security for a company no one has any interest in hacking
I will probably start training as an IT specialist in system integration this year because I heard how lax these types of jobs are.
After I'm done with the training, what is the most favorable position to get in for what you just described? Cyber security?
I would love to work remotely, too.
all for the low low price of living with your aging parents leaving you screwed after they die and you're clearly incapable of independent life. you clearly won at life, anon.
I live in 3rd world country and get neetbux. I also don't live with my parents(but go visit them regularly because I love them).
You can be independent if you want.
I don't work because there isn't work that I like or have education for. Some work I could get is better left for people who have family to upkeep and need more money.
Majority of the work is just stuff that could be done more efficiently with machines or better systems, or generally Immoral stuff(telemarketers that scam elderly people for example).
I rather be poor than do harm.
>kills self at 30 while being a genetic dead end
yeah you're so much smarter than everyone else dude
>that cope
lel
I'm 31, so I have already surpassed your exceptions.
You know I will keep the house right? Or even just sell it and then I will have like 500k, so Idk man, you just seem salty that I've beat the system while you have to go be a slave at work. I'll be here all day, but i guess you gotta sleep so you can wake up and go to work eh..
I used to think the same way.
But having seen an elder grandparent pass away recently, having seen what old age can do to a person, I shudder at the idea of being old and not having family to help out.
why do you lie? my friends in Canada told me they need to have multiple jobs to afford living in there
Rookie numbers.
I've been getting NEETbux since 2009 and it was the best decision I've ever made. I own my house and truck plus all of my bills are paid for. Food Stamps, Low Income Energy Assistance, 100% free health insurance and free college through Vocational Rehabilitation.
I live a more comfy life than most full-time wagies I've met.
i dont have neetbux in my country.
what state are you in?
>play "let's pretend I'm the other sex"
>tell government the "I'm oppressed because straighties bad :("

That's seven more than most games are worth.
4 hours of work for me and its still too much
LOL! That's an hour and 45 minutes for me. Poor gays!
>he has to work a full day for 1 game
holy shit did you drop out of school or something?
He's American so basically yes
That's the point, even a poor wagie can afford any game if they save one day's wages
45 minutes for me.
What do you do that makes $100+ an hour? That's 200k a year
I sit at home and tell pajeets over slack that their code sucks.
>$10 an hour
>t. WalMart poster
If you already hate your life so much, go work for FedEx.
Apparently its 33 minutes before tax for me. I couldn't imagine paying that.
Just imagine it's the 33 minutes after your Teams call that you spend rewriting the notes into an email
Ah, a man after my own.
For some reason corporate is pushing Teams, none of the tech guys use it and it straight up doesn't work on most of the devs' machines because its all linux, but of course for some obscene reason the managers have a hard on for it, so we've literally ended up with slack where all the work happens, and then teams which is JUST used by managers to ask dumb questions, and of course no one asks the devs if they're happy with this situation.
>now
DLC has been padding the cost if games for years.
About 2 hours for me.
Still not spending $70 on a video game.
Why not just draw furry porn on patreon at this point
yikes that's infinity hours for me

Why would anyone care when modern AAA shit is terrible and launches unfinished.
this, they could make it 150 dollars and I'd just laugh at the morons who buy it
Yikes that's one and a half hours work for me
Only slop games cost that, I'm fine.

its only activision that does that tho
not true thought
S(tar of David)E does this shit too

Not sure why you'd bring up denuvo when blizzard doesn't use it for their games.
they don't need to the game has always online drm

so about on par with POE
I'm not paying $100 or $70. I even loved Diablo and was looking forward to this.
I don't know OP its free on green steam
you mean the activision buyout that got completely stopped by all parties and will never happen? keep coping

and you miss out on launch day hype, everything is played through, playerbase is dead. and all you did was save at best 50%
if years of your life is worth less than 30 to 40 dollars you live a really pathetic life, if thats really a game you want to play and enjoy

also

I already have a backlog that will last me years, meanwhile all those new buggy messes will be finally fixed and moronic protections removed.

>long winded cope post

>y-you're stupid, c-c-cope
Says the moron who spends money on shit that doesn't even work.
Playing games at launch because of marketing hype is peak npc consoomer behaviour. I didn't grow up playing single player games in order to participate in a social media borg and never felt the need to, its not even a good experience since games take at least 6 months to fix their issues. Why the frick do you care if a game is rinsed out by other people? Its new to you. You have a point with multiplayer games but the majority of people here don't play them anymore.
In general there are too many unplayed games for anyone to feel like they absolutely must play any game on launch, if you only play new shit it's a sign you should log out from the hype cycle and play shit you want to instead of what you're told to.
Anon, some people develop a refined enough taste that they want specific things. Yes I know that there are 2000 JRPGs released on the PS1 and PS2, yes I could play those for the rest of my life and never have to pay attention to a new release evr again, but I don't want to play those. I want to play a Starship Troopers coop FPS, and while there IS one, its not very good, but there is one currently in development that does look very fun- ie the "marketting hype" aka gameplay footage release so far makes it look like a game filling a niche I have been hoping to see for a long time. But apparently I shouldn't be playing it? I should be playing JRPGs released on the PS2 instead?
Who said anything about jrpgs? Your bargain bin starship troopers kusoge has nothing to do with new aaa games costing too much and npcs thinking they are missing out by skipping the beta test.
>launch day hype
Jesus Christ, dude.
>launch day hype
Shut the frick up and have a nice day oversocialized gay midwit
This. I always wait like a solid 5 or so months to buy the GoTY edition with all DLC for a fraction of the price. Stay mad buycels
I mean, you're telling me people actually buy games they don't immediately tend to play? This isn't the '90s anymore, copies won't just run out.
Yeah just like you can now play pirated Diablo 3
oh wait
you can't
I don't know about anyone else but I never played Diablo III for this reason. Also not on Steam for extra arrogance. I sometimes wonder if its lukewarm cultural impact is because of things like this.
Same story with Starcraft 2
that's 70 hours of work for me. Yikes

Thirdies? I can afford it, I just don't want to.
>Diablo: The pozzed
HAHA oh wow
the worst game for the N64 was 99$
This is unironically such moronic inflation. It LITERALLY has no reason to increase. IF FRICKING ANYTHING THEY SHOULD DROP SINCE DIGITAL SALES ARE SO FRICKING COMMON
Games used to cost up to 140$.
Super Metroid in 94 was 130.17$.
Primal Rage was 140.19
https://www.in2013dollars.com/us/inflation/1994?amount=70
Videogames were a niche hobby back then coupled with ACTUAL manufacturing costs.
>niche hobby
No, they were toys for children.
And they arent now??
>Games used to
be good.
I created an Arg, BR and Russkie steam account for cheap games. I family share them with my main account. And no, I do not care that my actions have contributed to you paying more.
>games costs 17% more

Ahoy.

>office workers now spend more than half the day doing nothing but still get big bucks

>Regional politicians accused of 'pork barreling' when they try to do something about it
>Urbanites complain when money ISN'T spent on their concrete jungles because cities have higher person per square meter so clearly everyone should be living in cities and if you choose not to then thats on you
Ultimately not my problem. I'll take my $1000/day paycheque to "work" from home and the world can go to hell in a handbasket without me.
>extracting actual fricking resources like ore and oil from the ground get paid peanuts
Let's say you're a necromancer, owns a big castle and summoned a skeleton army to dig for you in your own backyard.
You still need to give them proper equipment.
Those equipment are made by someone else
The manufacturer that made those Equipment need a factory, machines, suppliers to provide the parts, and people.
The manufacturer also needs HR, admin, database, and other tech shit to run its factory and people, and every supplier that feeds into the manufacturer's pipeline also need all of that shit, and so on and so forth. Oh and did I mention that (before covid) a big factory employing thousands sitting in a town is also going to have other businesses and industries spawn around it?
So even though you are an "almost" totally self sufficient, you still end up sustaining a hundred more jobs and dozens of businesses, and most of those extra jobs you created are harder to replace and tougher to train than a 20~40 year old male body that mines all day.
Tech is not a competitive sector at all. The big players like google, apple, microsoft, etc have near guaranteed market share no matter how good or shite their product is because of the ecosystems they've entrenched around the product.
So they print money and have next to no expenses or need to improve but shareholders literally don't want the money back because they think it'll create more value if reinvested. Now all these corps are sitting on billions and billions and have nothing worthwhile to spend it on because the lightning in a bottle they have in the first place can't be recreated with just money. Thus all the morons getting paid +100k to play sockpuppets in the break room 8 hours a day.
Meanwhile the corn farmer is in a far more competitive industry. People could have been buying from Chuck for 20 years but they won't even think twice about changing suppliers if Sneed is 5% cheaper.
>the people extracting actual fricking resources like ore and oil from the ground get paid peanuts
You're dumb as frick and don't know anybody who works in thirst industries.
Lol, lmao
Those are unironically junior programmer salaries. I'm not saying its right, but thats just the way the world is right now.

At this point the people who still look forward to AAA games deserve the shit that's given to them

wow that was hard
Literally didn't buy cod because of $70 price, so they already lost at least one sale with this nonsense.
>thinking about buying COD
you have to be 18 to post here
Cod is boomer franchise now zoomer go back to your fortnite.
SNES games were roughly $130 when adjusted for inflation.
And wages from the SNES era to now?
the last couple of blizzard releases have dropped quickly in price, expect the same with D4
A reason for steam monopoly in 3rd world is that steam has suggested pricing based on a country economy, which is why you could make an argentinian account and buy games for dirt cheap. Its not mandatory and they can still price it for whatever the frick they want but uplay, origin, epic, sony and xbox should take that idea and implement it
Games are $0 for me.
stop being poor
imagine bragging about eating shit
>poor shaming people
Disgusting.
You're the reason why gaming industry is shit. I bet you also buy microtransactions.
I bought it with wow gold that I farmed for $7 an hour.
Games have been 70 dollars for now a decade.
Ahahahahahah homie how can you be oppressed, homie just pirate it
are now 70$
Are they?
Didn't notice.
are now 70$
"for you"
Diablo 4 will be also always online, no? Can't really pirate it without someone making a private server patch or something.
Not like i expect D4 being good enough for doing something like that. Maybe i wait for a discounted Bundle version to appear at supermarket.
Day1 paygays are the worst kind of morons
I bought Diablo 2 Remake + Diablo 3 Complete for 20$ during past Black Friday. Why you just don't wait for discounts or simple pirate like every non braindead human?
Third worlders deserve everything they got.
You're going to miss the launch energy and fall behind by waiting for a big price drop.
>launch energy
>falling behind
You'll have to explain these imaginary concepts to me, they sound incredibly homosexual.
>launch energy and fall behind
Launch energy of what?
Fall behind what?
Corpo mombo jumbo goyslop is fricking hilarius
The only four games I was excited for in the last five years was Ready or Not, BONEWORKS, Half-Life: Alyx, and Flight Simulator.
>Ready or Not is slowly becoming worth the $30, so far worth half that
>BONERWORKS was a disappointment with eyesore graphics - 4/10 overhyped
>Half-Life: Alyx was mostly good but too short; got it for free because some guy at Valve is a simp; 7/10
>Microwiener Flight Shitulator sucks because it took a week to install from their servers and VR support was/is trash, literally unplayable - 10/10 regret
There is literally nothing else in the last 10 years that I was hyped for. No title is worth $70 to me or even $40. Almost every game on the market today is half-finished soulless garbage and I'd rather keep playing older shit. I will say UBOAT caught me off guard though, really awesome fricking submarine simulator, especially for the price. Witcher III is fantastic too, the series was under my radar. Other than that, I don't care about anything else.
That's one quarter of my monthly dividend income. I'd rather buy FTX stonks than give nu-blizzard any money at all to play their monetization skinner boxes pretending to be vido games.
>anons are now brown third worlders
I don't buy games that are over 19.99. I refuse to pay more than this for a video games
No good game has been 70 dollars yet, although it wouldn't surprise me to see them pull it for Starfield
>Imagine paying double the price of the original games due tax
Wouldn't be me 🙂
What's your point?
Indonesian (Digital) games are 2x cheaper, but American makes 5x more money on average.
>game prices
>BUHT AMMERICUH !!!
Stay on topic chud
?
you were comparing IDR with USD (US DOLLAR) prices, dumb gorilla baboon
Read the thread before you makes such a random chuddy conclusion you fast beverages sloppers
maybe YOU should read the post that I replied to
>$70
>can't pirate because denuvo win
It's literally over for us poorgay thirdies. we suffer too much.
>monthly wage is only $500
correction
$70 WITH a battle pass.
AAA titles aren't games. they're scams.
And I’m still on ps4 and Xbox one the games are still $70 for me bullshit
>he buys games
$130AUD to buy hitman 3 IOI is insane.
>Wait two weeks and it's suddenly 30$
Preordering and playing day 1 is moronic
I think the price increase is intended to be from 30 bucks to 35 with the assumption that most players buy the game when it goes -50%. Only morons buy on launch.
Then again
>third worlder
>complains about it being 70 (aka intends to buy on launch)
Yep, it's moronic
>doesn’t include expansion pack and everything else
>but muh bug fixes!
Jesus Christ you deserve to get shit on
Will just wait for the ActiBlizz acquisition and play it day 1 with my gamepass sub, thanks.
>tfw haven't bought a game in a couple of years
>tfw haven't paid more than $10 for a game in over 15 years
Get fricked, consumer prostitutes.
>build PC
>torrent everything
I only bought Elden Ring, that's about it. I'll buy a game that is actually worth it, but not shovelware. That gets a torrent.
>have money to spare
>refuse to pay through the nose for games
I refuse to pay full price for games, it's always better to wait for a sale / GOTY rerelease.
Got Shadow of War with all DLCs for like <$10, not complaining.
you people are the cause of it though since you'll spend the money regardless. voting with your wallet is a clitche but it's true, and you're all saying that you're okay with these predatory practices by opening up that wallet every god damn time. you're the reason the gaming industry is going to absolute shit. thanks, morons.
>vote with your wallet
great joke. do you have any more?
you're a pathetic defeatist. enjoy choking on neverending goyslop, you fricking slave.
>post realistic outcome
>y-you're a d-defeatist
propose a real solution then you dumb moron.
>If someone manages to actually make good vidya and you buy it some big publisher comes along, buys it up and turns it into shit
A buyout need not happen. Actichinkzard shat the bed with their own franchises themselves for example.
Hell, sometimes corporations drag the corpses of old franchises and churn out pure garbage without understanding one bit what made people like their games to cash out on the brand and run init to the ground.
>propose a real solution then you dumb moron.
DON'T BUY SHIT YOU DON'T SUPPORT, Black person. i already gave you the solution. if everyone did that we wouldn't have these issues. again, all you're doing is blaming the system while refusing to change yourself. you are literally a defeatist, because you're just sitting there complaining and hoping for things to magically change to your benefit but why the frick would they? that's not how anything works.
>DON'T BUY SHIT YOU DON'T SUPPORT, Black person
We've already been over this. Need me to repeat it again?
>if you don't buy shit, the franchise you likes gets scrapped due to poor sales
>if you do buy, more shit gets made
There's no winning move.
>the franchise you likes gets scrapped due to poor sales
So be it. You need every game to have 100 sequels, you moron?
Winning move would be you killing your dumb fricking self.
why do you want more games in the franchise if they all suck? are you fricking dense?
the guy on the left side has more money so id rather be with him
why should i care about what others do with theirs?
wait, I got it, I got it.
>if you don't buy shit then good vidya will get made
That's a classic one.
Unfortunately for you, if you buy shit, more shit gets made, and if you refuse to buy shit, the series gets canned. There's no way to win.
you're not meant to boycott the entire industry, lol. you're supposed to pay for the good games, which will incentivize the publishers of garbage to also change their ways in order to get those revenue streams. instead, Gankerirgins will pirate good indies and spend $70 + battle pass + DLCs + microtransactions on diablo 4. it's fricking bizarre.
>the entire industry
giving microshit money won't get me good bing bing games you moron.
>pay for the good games, which will incentivize the publishers of garbage to also change their ways
or close up shop and move on because no one bought their shitty games, you idiot.
It's even worse. If someone manages to actually make good vidya and you buy it some big publisher comes along, buys it up and turns it into shit. We can't with this lads, the game is rigged.
Paying more than 20 €/$ for a digital game is ridiculous. I hope you homosexuals who do enjoy being scammed for mostly non replayable interactive movies you don't even own choke on your mom's wiener.
>$70
Games have been over $100 in the 3rd world for over a decade (taxes, israeli middleman and retailer markups, etc.). Cheaper games didn't weren't a thing until Shitsteam. And even then, they're still fricking expensive when your take home pay is ~$350.
Cry me a river you fricking b***h.
How about you don't fricking buy it and make them understand the price is too high for such trash no one wants to play.
>$70
You dont need to buy it.
guess im not buying it theres literally no reason games are becoming more expensive your not even getting a disc anymore
inflation
inflation my ass
Owo
Steal it.
but that's illegal
chud moment
+ tip
>games
You mean entertainment services with gameplay elements
This. Firsties are ridiculous. $70 still less than 5% of their salaries. Here a new AAA game is 25% of my monthly salary kek
more like 1% of their salaries
they're so rich
their buying power is massive
yet they still beg for pirate free stuff
yet they still make excuse to not buy stuff
yet they still whine when they have to buy stuff because denuvo killed PC piracy for high profile games
hate them so much they dont know how good theyre having it
meanwhile thirdies like me are about to be done for now that DRM keeps getting strong and stronger.
First World Problem is real.
Games have been 70 Euros in Croatia for a while. Now they're 80.
Do you homosexuals actually buy these games at release date because you really enjoy them, regardless of whichever country you are from? Or you just buy because of FOMO and cringey basketweaving bragging points?
>no house
>no gf
>no family or children
>no future
what else would these soibois spend their money on?
Wow can't wait to not buy a 80€ game, thanks gaming industry for you're greediness.
I would have no problem paying 70 bucks assuming it was gonna be a great game, but it's fricking Blizzard in 2023. The game will be passable, at best.
>everyone on Ganker.org is a child, unemployed, or from the third world
sometimes it takes a thread like this to remember
Black person its a fricking gacha game, box price is irrelevant
Games have been $80 in Canada for a few years now
Yikes, that's... oh yeah I forgot, I don't play shit games so I won't be playing a single fricking thing post 2015 unless I know it's a gem.
Also, imagine playing acurrent year Nlizzard game. Holy shit.
i farmed gold in WoW to buy this, was pretty easy at the beginning of Dragonflight
blizzard was always turbo israelite with prices, you are moronic if you give them money
slop has its price
