Stay afraid, but do it anyway

@prequelsnet prequels appreciation week: day 5 — found family

reminder to myself and whoever else needs it to stop feeding the machine. I'm aware I'm yelling into the void but look at the past couple years of games. They're pushing $70, $80, $100!!! for games that are completely unfinished, unpolished, and sometimes completely unplayable. Yes the game showcases were cool. The doom game looks sick and I don't even go there, but they're shaking the shiny keys to distract you and get you swept up in the hype. They're going to push so much fomo marketing to get you to jump for it full price.

Look at this. This is absolutely insane. $150 and you still have to drop another $60 for the game. Seriously, I'm beyond the memes at this point. Apparently there's another preorder at Gamestop that's ~$200 and doesn't clearly specify if it includes the game or not.

Just.... wait. Pick up a used copy for console. Let the reviews come in, let the patches clean it up. Wait for it to cost less than your monthly electric bill.

When the Good Place said “Why choose to be good every day when there is no guaranteed reward now or in the afterlife… I argue that we choose to be good because of our bonds with other people and our innate desire to treat them with dignity. Simply put, we are not in this alone.” 

Let's get cozy, friend.
