That's where I am at. Want more money? Release a full complete game. BG3 honestly I could pay 100 for and feel content. RDR2 same deal. Those are complete games, and are worth it.

This Ubisoft trash coming out? 20. Tops.

Indies are honestly the only thing keeping me in this hobby; well that and retro collecting..

A game like Vampire Survivors has given me hundreds of hours of entertainment and value for a fraction of the cost of a single “AAA” game - even factoring in the handful of expansion packs he’s released.

The major publishers declared strategy and top down games dead, but factorio and other small indie games gmhave kept me on for thousands of hours

I've never regretted buying a game full price less than BG3. My baseless rule of thumb for value is that $1 should get you an hour of fun and I've got like 400 hours in that game
