    And that’s all totally true. Though there is a way around that trap… Don’t buy the dlc!

    That’s my secret, I treat the base price as the only price, and if the game doesn’t stand on its own without dlc, it’s a bad game. And I will 100% say that out loud, I’ll give it a bad review, I’ll avoid buying it in the first place. If a game needs pricey dlc to be worth playing, it isn’t worth playing at all.

    So there’s my hot take.

      I buy complete editions. My trick is I just visit isthereanydeals and see what the sales price is and buy games when it is cheap. I don’t consider retail price the real price.
