Do game companies not realize that games can be pirated?

$80 games means I am 100% not buying your game.

I will play it, but I won't pay a single dime for it.

No wonder people say gaming is dying. Game companies are killing it.

@beaware.social I have a giant backlog, I'll just wait for end of year sales.

@ppb1701 @beaware.social I'll do the same. Just annoying that for the big new online games, if they're $80 I won't be getting them.

@BeAware @beaware.social yeah, though keep an eye on woot. I've snagged more than a few not long after releast 10-15 off. Even switch games.

@ppb1701 @beaware.social oh damn. Never heard of it!

@BeAware @beaware.social https://www.woot.com/ they also have an app. video games are under electronics category.

@beaware.social https://isthereanydeal.com is my go-to. I ain't spending more than $30 for any game ever. (The one exception I can ever think of -- I just used that Facebook settlement check to buy Baldur's Gate 3.)

Between insanely discounted stuff off that site, Humble Bundles, itch fundraisers, used eBay games, and emulation... I have multiple lifetimes of games to keep me busy.
