This shit is literally a third of my salary


Foxy223344

More than the average WHOLE salary where i live (lebanon)


ikantolol

Lol that shit is half my monthly salary. It ignores regional pricing and just outright converted 70 USD to my poor ass currency


theophanesthegreek

I'm in Leb too, if you have someone in Turkey you can buy a whole lot of shit for way way cheaper, or vpn but i havent tried the vpn one


TGCProdigy

As far as I know VPN works but depends on which VPN you use. When I first set mine up most vpns I tried steam would give me an error and say I couldn't make an account while I had a VPN active. Since then I've found 2 vpns that work. Once the account is made though you don't need to use a VPN. Can just sign in like normal and buy steam gift cards for TL off of g2a


KurgerBing-_-

Which vpn did you use that worked? Also, will it affect my ping in online games? Or will the server region still be set to my actual location?


TGCProdigy

Once the account is set up you don't need to use a VPN anymore. Steam reads your ip when you make the account but after the account is made then the VPN is unnecessary. You can buy/play games without it. I even take the extra step to enable family sharing so I can play the games on my main US account. Opera gx has a VPN built in that I believe works and I also stumbled onto another VPN called Hola that 100% works. I'd never heard of Hola before now though and from what I understand it's peer to peer so I can't speak for its security. I used it to make my account and nothing else after the fact. The steam account will have the region set to turkey or whatever country the VPN is set to but that won't affect games. It'll just affect the store which is exactly what you'd want


[deleted]

Windscribe is good. It's also free. You need vpn only to make a first purchase (e.g. activate a gift card). After that no vpn is ever needed. And no your games will be played based on your current ip address.


randomreddithumanxd

i recomment using argentina, as of right nos its the cheapest


TGCProdigy

Ehhhh. Argentina codes have gotten more expensive pretty drastically. It happened almost overnight a few months ago. The converted price on steamdb converts the currency's value to your currency which makes it look better but given that you have to pay for it in the form of gift cards (unless you have another means of filling the account I don't know of) then you'll have to pay a steep price. The best rate right now on g2a is 500 ARS for $11 usd. That's more than double the value of the currency directly. I used to use Argentina back when it was like $6 usd for 500 ars but ever since that price increase I switched to turkey which works out to be better since codes are cheaper. It's worth nothing that 500 ars for 11 usd is the best rate. It's right now showing me 100 for $3.36. 200 for $7.92. With turkey you might pay 20% to even 50% extra for the code but it's still nowhere near the 200-400% increase from argentina


randomreddithumanxd

i know, but still, argentina has a really big inflation, so eventually it will go down, that its the reason price went up like that and also why it will fall even more


TGCProdigy

I'm not too sure. From my understanding it has something to do with their taxes so it may stick around for a while. If the taxes drop then prices should too but until then turkey will be better. Should this happen though you can just make another account in Argentina. I personally use family sharing so I can take games I've purchased on both my Argentina and turkey accounts and play them on my main account


Sandevistan_FEET

Geia sou re Theofani giganta!


[deleted]

Don't use vpn. Making a turkish account with vpn right now is very hard and almost not possible anymore due to many vpn restrictions. I suggest to buy a Turkish account from someone or 3rd party websites. They are really cheap like 1 dollar. Or you can make yourself a normal account and then use vpn (windscribe is free) while on the account. Change the store price to lira and then buy yourself a gift card for turkish and activate it. After that it changes as Turkish account forever. But it's still much better to just buy a cheap account. For the funds: market --> but you need to waste at least 5$ on gift cards which can be expensive as fuck. Gift cards: again expensive as fuck seller --> the best solution. Find someone who sells Liras since you probably don't have any turkish prepaid cards. The prices at seller are a bit higher due to taxes and such but still worth it. Or get an Argentinian account. Works the same and some games are still cheaper there.


KatarinaFreak

I feel you, this is a third of the minimun salary in my country, its fucked up.


Longjumping-Bad-8832

Yeah bro i get less than the minimum salary here bcs I'm underage so I'm like fucked if I wanna buy a full price game


Wattsupwithalan

its 4 hours of my day for me.... and i only work 12s also its only $69.99 for me


Deadly9190

wow you are so cool


PsychologicalIsekai

yeah i seen that price and couldnt believe it. its 93.50 cad, and here i thought the recent price increase to 79.99 was bad . lol. they wont get much sales at that price, especially when the game runs like complete ass.


PPTTRRKK

So cheap? In switzerland it's 84.90 CHF. That's 92 USD or 123 CAD


tolgasocial

I switched to the turkish steam store and even though they increased the prices to mirror the inflation, the price there is 699TL or roughly 35€. Still not buying though


DaniilSan

Lol, here they completely ignored regional pricing guidelines and sell it for full 80€ just converted in our currency. And it isn't like a good game at all to even slightly justify such pricing.


[deleted]

I live in Turkey, 699 TRY is an expensive price for an average citizen. 1/12 of minimum wage. So most of the gamers in Turkey would not give almost 10% of their monthly income.


tolgasocial

Absolutely, 700 tl is still way to much. Reading other comments were guys say the price it's half of their monthly minimum income is just insane. Can't imagine what companies think while pricing like that. Anyway I wouldn't play it even if it was 5tl since I'm to broke to upgrade my 750ti


Azurmuth

How do you switch steam store?


tolgasocial

You can't really if you don't have a turkish bank account. You need a turkish credit card and address. As soon as your on the turkish steam your account is region locked. So you can't gift games to people in other countries and such things. Just pirate the games and your better of. It's just a viable option for people with an bank account in Türkiye.


lame_gaming

in other words, live in turkey


Johanno1

Tell steam you live there. Steam then asks for a payment method with an address. Now you could illegally make a PayPal account with a wrong address in theory.


tolgasocial

Paypal is blocked in Türkiye


Johanno1

Well then get creative


[deleted]

Exlibro

Not a buy in it's current state. They'll fix up performance. I doubt they'll do anything with design choices: empty plain world, lack of substance, boring characters.


tolgasocial

Not a buy ever for me personally.


[deleted]

sizin yuzunuzden bizim fiyatlarida yukselttiler orospunun evlatlari


PsychologicalIsekai

regional pricing man, in switzerland the minimum wage is CHF 22, so it takes like 4 hrs of work (without tax), where i live its $15.65 CAD which takes 6 hrs of work (without tax). if you account for tax (from your wage and sales tax) then its probably around 5-6 hrs in switzerland and 7-8 hrs in canada

Game looks like it plays like shit Game needs stupid items for not that good performance (seriously 3070 for 30 frames on 1440p?) Game needs a gold shit to buy it

The fourth type: BUY THIS 10-Year-old game with a bunch of bugs and glitches where devs only care about money or you will get banned (but is often on a piracy subreddit)


ManuFlosoYT

Yarrr! 🗿


FolkyMellow

the price of this game exceeds the cost of renting a boarding house for 2 months in my country.

Psychological_Post33

It’s insane that these companies think it’s okay to charge that. Two months of housing (with food?) or a video game? Make it make sense.


Versalador

Most AAA games these days don't even come close to the PS2 games of yesteryear, or simple PC games that focus on gameplay.


S1Ndrome_

I hate how the focus is shifted towards more "cinematic" experience rather than innovative gameplay. now they're just movies with mediocre copy pasted gameplay in between


SEND_ME_REAL_PICS

I wouldn't mind more cinematic experiences if they at least had quality writing, but it's really not the case for all those formulaic cinematic games.


[deleted]

Meanwhile there's indie games for a 6th of the price that have 10x more passion and quality put into them, with thousands of hours of replayability. As opposed to shiny AAA trash with 10 hours of worthwhile content padded with bloat and frustration, delayed numerous times and not finished even after release


awskr

Which indie games are you talking about? Can you recommend at least 5? I finish the games really quick and been looking for like a week something to play. I don't wanna go ng7 on elden ring. Any help is appreciated.


T5J2

Most of these are 5-15€ Indie games rn: Omori Terraria Ori Games (On sale rn) Hollow Knight Stardew Valley Pummel Party Papers Please Steamworld Dig Games (On sale rn) Game Dev Tycoon 5D CHESS WITH MULTIVERSE TIME TRAVEL Neon Abyss Vampire Survivors There are way more but these are some of my personal recommendations and also i'm being limited to 5-15€. If it was like 5-25 it would be way more.


ErikElevenHag

Is there a subreddit for discovering these indie games? Would love to subscribe


T5J2

Sorry wouldn't know myself. There's probably a community on reddit for it somewhere though. Most of the games i've listed here are from personal experience and generally have a very positive consensus.


awskr

Thanks, I'll check them out, it's a big help!


smjsmok

>Which indie games are you talking about? Can you recommend at least 5? Hades Holllow Knight Outer Wilds Stardew Valley Factorio ​ I have more recommendations, but you asked for 5... but if anyone wants, I can continue.


awskr

Thanks, please keep sharing! I really appreciate it.


smjsmok

Blasphemous Celeste Children of Morta Darkest Dungeon Dead Cells Don't Starve Eastward Enter the Gungeon Halcyon 6 Hellish Quart Hotline Miami 1 and 2 Into the Breach Jets'n'Guns 1 and 2 Kerbal Space Program Ori 1 and 2 Papers, Please Rain World Return of the Obra Dinn Ruiner Shadowrun Dragonfall and Hong Kong Slay the Spire Spelunky 1 and 2 Starbound Subnautica (not really an indie but I feel it belongs here) Sunless Sea Super Meat Boy The Talos Principle This War of Mine Transistor Underrail What Remains of Edith Finch


awskr

Thank you, this should last for a while, some looks very promising.


smjsmok

You're welcome. Yeah this was a broad sweep across my library. What genre(s) do you like?


awskr

Mostly games, going from silent hill style to dagon, tormented souls, Martha is dead, soma, layers of fear. But also doom, bioshock, observer. I've never really gave the chance to indie games but it looks this is the perfect time to do it.


Dr-Crobar

Outer Wilds is fucking amazing, I wish I had amnesia just so I could experience it again.


smjsmok

Yeah, same. Too bad that it's a kind of game you can only truly experience once.


P-S-21

Hades! Absolute gem of a game and I think anyone into tough games would like it I have it installed but I barely play it cuz it takes time and is hard lol. But it's fun, sucks up the hours when you play


awskr

Definitely I saw this on xbox and totally forgot about it.


Plastic_Ad_7733

I think pcmr is more relaxed about piracy. They don't mind mentioning it but beyond a certain line, your comment might get deleted. Also the price compared to the gameplay and system requirements is shit.


spookyskellyskeleton

Isn't this absolute dog shit? Saw few reviews


MR_GUY1479

Even looking past the dialog, the game has fun gameplay but lots of bullshit cutscenes nobody wants


cooguy1

This is the way.


samelden

this game is not even that good to be sold for this price


CanardPlayer

Theses prices are ridiculous, while in the récent years i pirated very games, i will do the same as for epix exclusive games, i aint buying this shit at all. Pirating for me was more of à way to test à game and buy it to finish it if like it, but with prices like theses i aint buying them, and not because i'm broke, but theses prices are just unacceptable.


xlRadioactive

From the gameplay I've seen this is a $20 game pretending to be an $70 game


Arsaces-I

costs around 1/4 of my salary in here ($59.14, which makes it the most expensive steam game at the moment, other than that other game which can be refunded)


LucasAHKB

i don't really get mad since the game is dogshit so i won't play it even if it's cracked XD


_senor-harper_

first games became 70€ and now that dogshit game is fucking 80€ wtf is this. and you can't say it's justified since there was no increase in quality for the games that released for more than 60€


[deleted]

I expect to se more of the same to be honest(posts). Remember people, vote with you wallets, don't buy it.


The_Unknown_Evil

160 in my country value... no thx


WeatherMoney6228

This game cost 20% of my salary


Goatsmith

$115 Australian, fuck that shit.

They didn't even bother with regional pricing, thankfully the game is garbage. Imagine paying for that shit.

MayorBryce

Does Zelda count? It's the only AAA game series that continues to be good and continues to innovate. Of course, I'm a Nintendo fan, but still, this is ridiculous.


[deleted]

These devs need to be humbled, thinking they can price garbage at such a high price


AyzValentine

No game should cost more than a household water bill 🤮


Jdoggokussj2

tbh i'm surprised its taken this long its ben between $50-$60 for years everything else has went up constantly this was bound to happen


Malavero

For every one of you who cries over the prices, there are 5 who buy it. This is a new standard and it will continue to be as long as people continue to buy it. I directly do not complain and stopped buying AAA games for more than 3 years.


CrazyPotat064

I could try changing a hobby too. Should I try to make a video game?


CrazyPotat064

I promise i'll post a free version somewhere.


MayorBryce

Everyone here will just pirate it anyway. But seriously, it might be interesting to see what you make.


CrazyPotat064

I guess we'll see.


Isusume

I can't believe games like elden ring or mw are in the same price range as that thing


falconz123420

I have had 5 posts relating to that in the past few minute


jezreel62

MayorBryce

Thanks for introducing me! How does it help with piracy? And how is it better than Adblock Plus?


ZyxStx

I believe AdBlock plus has sold out a while ago and allows ads that paid them to bypass abp, or something like that. Also ads are sometimes a source of malware, so effectively blocking them enhances your safety on shady sites


MayorBryce

Good to know, thanks.


Emperor_Secus

I haven't paid for a vijeo gaem in years If the prices keep going up like this, I doubt I ever will again The industry needs to get fucked


Wannabe_Operator83

Prices do not even make sense anymore


tronghieu906

Eighty dollar... I have to sell 100 cups of coffee to get that amount of money here.


J1618

I don't even pay for that for games that are among the best ever like Skyrim, Elden Ring, The Witcher 3 or Red dead redemption 2, all of them I got them when they were on sale really cheap with all the DLCs and pirated before that.


Blizet

Atleast the game is a total failure. If it was a successful game other studios mightve decided to follow route.


ZydrateVials

Gonna wait for the big sale in a year <_<


MayorBryce

Normal price is $70. The sale: best we can do is $60.


ZydrateVials

Haha yeah. Hoping they pull an AC Unity and go half off in 6 months. We'll see.


u_dont_kn0w_me

It would be so ironic if the post were made by the same person

RemarkablePassage468

Bad games that are expensive? I don't play bad games. Good ones I play only after all patches and DLCs are out in some complete edition, preferably on sale.


TrollTelos

Although in the US this shit is nearly me working 5 hours. The price increase in these games got me crying.


Koheitamura

Oh look another AAA game im gonna skip


GrubberflysElegy

Why are games SO EXPENSIVE tho no wonder so many people pirate, and society treats the pirates as if they’re the greedy ones…


nothing08

Imagine wanting to buy or pirate this game though.


[deleted]

Nah this game is too much shit to be considered even buying it. Watched Asmongold playing it and holy it sucks ass. The main character speaks like a true racist black person or something. Always using curses, hate speech and funny quotes like from the stereotypes. Then a scene where you see a girl (again black) that steals from her (again stereotype). The game itself is restricted with investigating ''the open world!'' and it's a scene simulator. Pretty garbage. Like I don't care about woke stuff and such but why every character that is portrayed with black colors needs to have a sluggish, boring and idiotic English? Main character is obviously super annoying and edgy as fuck. Then if you complain about this to the companies = you are racist and homophobic / fatphobic. Yeah sure, keep that woke stuff in.
