How dare they give value to the consumer!

Oh no! The people wanting us to give them money are asking us to give LESS for MORE! HOW DARE THEY!

STF!!!!

I actually agree - but ONLY because the sales are meaningless. Its the same shit, being "marked down" each week now. And honestly I feel like the prices on these games havent changed in years.

Most PSN sales are fun to scroll thru once, realize I own all the games I care about - and verify that everything else was on a different sale last week, for the same price.

isthereanydeal.com is likely the biggest reason I still game.

Since I have a huge backlog of games I probably will never get around to playing from steam sales and Ps+ I have the freedom to not waste top tier money on games that aren’t worth anyone’s time but still somehow get 8’s. This is also why game pass is doing well. But you’re noobfeed so you don’t know any better. Toxic Elitists reeeeeeee

Slow day, eh?

Not from Nintendo

This is stupid complaint. Goes to show, some people always need something to complain about. Shame on whoever approved this. I'm going to say this is satire just to troll us.

There Are Way Too Many Opinion Articles.

wow really?

...who complains about that?

Ley me guess, game sales are now anti consumer because people don't have enough money to buy all the games on sale, so they end up missing out. Not fair to the people that wanted a game but couldn't afford it because they bought another game, now that game isn't on sale anymore and that's not fair to the consumer.

Fkn idiots. Just like how exclusives are now anti consumer because the phrase turned up in one sound bite not too long ago. Now people want all games playable across the board. PC heads wanted or rather celebrated hearing that HZD was coming to PC, but since release I've not read one person say anything about the gameplay, seems they only play specs.

The times they are a changing.

Too many game sales...? That should be a great thing.

ok retard

There's nothing at all wrong with that,the more sales the better.

Gamers today, never fucking happy "noobfeed" says it all really.

Like really? 😒 fml

"Elitism is narrowing the worth of a game..."

What?

Aren't we always complaining how expensive games are, and didn't we all get in an uproar over the idea of games being only $10 more expensive? So then how are game sales bad, now?

there are so many game sales because they sell the games triple the price and when game sales come they sell the games with the actual price, its a scam.

Let me fix the headline. We have way too many crappy video game articles.

I got Root Letter, Gal*Gun: Double Peace and Gal*Gun 2 all for dirt cheap during the PSN Summer Sale so I'm not complaining at all

“Elitism is narrowing the worth of a game, to the point that a sale is becoming more insignificant.”

WTF did I just read? let alone that quote. There are too many noob feeds.

Seriously, Please don’t be another one of those.

Too many sales but not for the games I want to play. I would like to see a sale on crosscode, divinity 2, dragon ball fighter pack 3, etc

And this is why game journalism is a joke.

Uh wait what.

I guess to get next level, we'll see an article "There are way too many good free AAA games"

I have such a large backlog of unplayed games I don’t pay much attention to the sales

Some of the game sales are not very good. Modern warfare might sound good at 50% off but the base game is almost £50 on PC

These game sales are a blessing to my bank account.
I think this entire 8th generation (PC/PS4/Xbox One/Switch) I've only bought maybe 6-8 games full price and everything else has been sales.
A lot of games now are also time consuming too which is good because I want to get my full value out of it.
Keep in mind standard game prices are going up next generation with PS5/Series X ($69.99), etc. so you now have to be even more picky with the games that you do pick.

You do know you dont have to buy any games on sale what a thing to complain about

Gamers will complain about anything these days. Worst part is, this isn't the worst thing i've seen gamers complain about

So I wonder what the writer prefers...let me guess...no sales and price increase... Lol

That is why we have a gaming Queue. There will always be something to play on one system or another. Get over it.

They are beating the used game curve. And if you are like me, I might start out with a physical copy and then buy the Ultimate Addition digital version heavily discounted later on. And trade or sell the physical copy. At any rate, they make more money selling more copies and DLC.

Who would complain about this!? Are you trying to ruin things for sensible consumers?

Could be because of the pandemic and the increase of sales on indoor entertainment, personally I'm fine with it because it means I don't have to worry about when to buy a game if it comes on sale regularly.

Nope . I like sales . I don’t buy much digital but sometimes I’ll grab a game that’s really good and a few dollars

I don't see this as a problem.

Next article: There are too many porn on Pornhub.

There can't be enough sales, I love them.

I would like to know the processes behind this. I mean all the things that led up to this point...

What an amazing

Australia's EB Games has a perpetual "sale" going on, they cover their stores in ghastly posters to advertise it, yet their "sale" prices always end up higher than JB Hi-Fi's standard prices, especially newer games that they'll advertise for $99 "on special" when JB has it for $69-79.

Older games are somehow worst, their default prices almost never go down from the original RRP, they just put it back on "special" again, which once more, is still usually above JB's.

It seems the digital industry is following in EB's steps where everyone keeps old games on high original prices & supplements it by frequently putting it on sale instead of steadily lowering it's actual cost.

I used to get excited about Steam sales once upon a time, now it just feels like the same kind of ghastly EB sale (I don't even like how they've continually changed the interface).

Imagine being upset that people want to save money. This is what journalism has devolved to.

First World problems. I can't even comprehend why someone would even think about writing such article. Seriously, did game sales hurt the author (except financially)?

What's next, «Keyboards have too many buttons and that's a big problem», «Why i still have to use the mouse, it's 2020, people!», «I'm getting extremely tired of pressing the POWER button every day!!! (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻» and «Why is breathing still a thing?!»

Dafuq!? Yeah I hate sales and like to pay full price, I'm elite. Lol what kinda shit is this?! We need more sales not less. If you hate sales, Nintendo has you covered with their 1st party always full price lineup.

This is stupid
