yep, Steam is a big thing.
But personally I think that the people who do spend a lot of their money on video games are the ones who are right now hit up hard for money.
I beg to differ - Not because I disagree. There is a real LACK of good Releases lately. I think ive spent no more than $50 in the past 3-4 Months, and its probably less than that (Monetarily), but i couldnt be a---- checking. If theres nothing to Buy, nothing will be Sold.
That case of beer might yet take precedence over even a gaming subscription...(lost half my WoW guild to Minecraft, curse you Steam!)
I think what you meant to say was, "They Gained Minecraft and Lost WoW"
Enough weird humor.
But certainly the industry will have to rethink the pricing strategy.
Or at least, lower the RRP on Release.
Also, there are a lot of games out right now you can play for free, but pay for ingame upgrades.
Runescape as one of the older ones, Farmville (and all FB games)...just check out the video game section for all the cards you can buy!
On the flipside, most Farmville/FB Game players and such, EMPHASIS on Most, probably didnt go about purchasing Games too often if ever in the first place.
Oh dear. You read a Book! If it wasnt an Online Edition, then things have really gotten out of hand. *gasps*
Dear oh dear. Someone needs to try Dwarf Fortress!
..Funny thing - Ive never really partaken in MMO RPGs, despite how much they interest me.I do have to agree about the lack of decent games to buy :nods:. I went through a period a while back where I bought about five games in a row that were all disappointments and just gave up on the whole idea. I've never really gone back to buying new stuff all the time either. I'v played AoE (various iterations), GT (various iterations until GT5 was such a let down), Space Empires (III, IV and V), AVP and LOTRO for something like ten years. Also, Tomb Raider, Red Alert, Delta Force, Counterstrike, Elder Scrolls and MechWarrior spring to mind. But not a huge mass of games really (tho' as I look up to my left I do see a floor-to-ceiling bookcase full of games
Oh and Gran, if WoW fails you, come over here to the LOTRO side
