I will say though, if you're the kind of guy who likes MMOs and RPGs (like me) you'll *love* dune. I used to play a ton of RuneScape back in the day, and recently I've been playing Eve and Star Citizen but dune is just a better game in every possible way than those three. I've been so obsessed that I had to uninstall it this week so I could get to sleep on time for work haha

I'm not young or American, but I can tell gaming has been changing. I can't even remember what was the last "AAA" game I bought, because it must have been a couple of years ago. Most games I buy are 40ā¬ connoisseur titles or 20ā¬ indie games. I don't hear about any "must-play" AAA titles through the grapewine these days. I *do* hear about interesting indie stuff all the time, though. Most of the 60ā¬+ games I hear about are kind of niche stuff.Any AAA game I got in the last decade I waited till it was dirt cheap. Red Dead 2 was the last one I bought and played through was maybe 15-20 bucks or something?

Two, expensive AAA title games these days tend to be shit, from a graphics, code, community, and content standpoint. If you want good games, cheaper is usually better. Last AAA title game I bought was Borderlands 3, and I don't see myself buying anymore in the next two years or so.

I still play multiplayer, but on games that still support community servers like Minecraft, Enshrouded, Arma 3, Space Engineers..

Yeah there has always been sales and "greatest hits" type shit, but go back and look at how much they were charging for the NES and Super Mario Bros. 3 back when they came out. Then adjust them for inflation.

Nitpick: It's probably not the _devs_ so much as the capitalist owners and management collaborators. I'd guess most of the people making the games would be happy to have someone play their game at all. It's not like they typically get a cut of the profits (again: capitalism)
Sorry but I couldn't resist the opportunity
