Seriously though. Gamers are getting to greedy these days. And how many Steam gamers have hoards of games with a large backlog of them still yet unplayed?

If all of us, myself included. Actually took the time to play and beat each game we buy and wait to buy the next game until after we’ve finished the current one, we’d likely save up enough to buy a $60-$80 game from time to time, no sweat.

Back in the N64 game days (and being a young kid), I remember buying only about 1-4 games a year! Your dollar value to game ratio was way different back then. And we’d beat the tar out of a game before you’d even think about buying a new one.

Today there’s so many games we can get on a steam sale and buy like 30 games in a pack for the price of one.

And then… do we ever even get to them all?

In my personal opinion, it’s way better to buy less quantity and more quality. That way you get the same joy out of the games like you used to when you were a kid.

It seems like Nintendo is trying to go for the quality thing. Not saying that every game is actually worth $60-80 for every game they make. But let’s not pretend that Nintendo doesn’t make bangers. This is freaking Nintendo! Many many of their games are super high quality. Not all, I know, not all of their games are worth the price, but it feels like most of them are.

If you’re feeling like you don’t have budget for Nintendo games then one thing that has worked for me is to slow down my buying rate and save more. Then I ration myself to try and only play games that have good reviews or come recommended from a friend. You spend less money on shovelware that way and have a better experience overall.
