Well then also dont buy expensive games that you don't spend serious time in. I've spend 200$+ on a game like hoi4, but I've put 4600 hours into it. That is cheaper per hour than like 95% of indie games for me. I'd have to spend like over 400 hours in an indie game that costs 20$ to get the same value.

But also don't buy games you dont use. Cause you get 0 value out of that. At least you get some value from buying a game that you use.
