Videogame prices combined with hardware prices combined with the terrible state of games at launch makes playing older, actually finished games the better choice. It‘s not like Fallen Order‘s a bad game now, but I can play it at 4k handily without selling a kidney nowadays.

…I wish people realizing this was the reason for the numbers but it‘s mainly big, old live service games lol

Read this as “6-year-old or older gamers” and was pretty shocked 40% of gamers were 5 or younger lol

I have to wonder if live service games count as patient games. They are definitely older games, but they’re often kept “fresh” frequently, and occasionally are very different from how they were 6 years prior… almost to.the point that it could’ve passed for a sequel in earlier times.

Of course, the article isn’t just about these kinds of games, but the thought still came to me.

Yeah that’s me, I have been playing Peggle a lot on Steam

I have a PS4 and there are very good games I have never played.

I bought RDR2 + Assassin’s creed Origins + Odyssee for $30 alltogether…

I will continue playing those games until I have completed them and a few more. After that, it’s maybe time to buy a PS5 and games with crazily fallen prices…

I only exclusively play small or old games like doom.
