I don’t follow it closely but wasn’t it at/connected to Gamescom? So last week or so?

Or was Gamescom a couple of weeks ago already?

And lemmy.ml - as evidenced by the comments here.

I still have the first on the backlog so I’m good. I really only buy games that are special to me at full price. And at 70 or even 80, they would have to be extra special.

I was just thinking aloud. If they set a price and now slashed it before launch, it clearly wasn’t worth as much - with the corpos arguing they have to up the price due to cost… this is pretty much them showing it plain and simple it’s bullshit

I guess it never was really worth the 80. I wonder, is it really worth the 70? Or is it similarly made up number?

As a child, has to be Diablo 2. I had no idea what I was doing but I had fun. And it got me into reading, actually. I read some books now and then, but wasn’t an avid reader. But when I played Diablo 2, I found out there are books from the Diablo world and got one. I remember when I got home I was like “ok, since I got the book I will read one chapter and then go to playing” - well I didn’t turn on the PC for 3 days until I have finished the book. And then went to get more.

Another was World of Warcraft (though I was not exactly a kid by then). It made me fall in love with MMOs, a genre which I still love (though no game holds me today quite as WoW did - still hope for one though). And thanks to it I got to know people I’m friends with to this day.
