Steam. Why do I peck at discounts and pouring dough?

Here is an interesting situation. Probably, I’m not alone suffering from it: I buy games on promotions in Steam. The funny thing is that I have played, God forbid in a third of these games. In the Steam itself, it is possible and less, t.e. I buy some “by the old memory on” later “. But why? Do discounts are beckoning, the desire to boast of your library, from the nonsense to do.
Ok of games – but hanging on their “icons” – this is almost the top of the absurdity.
Pour 300 relative rubles, buy cards for 3-4 or 10-20 rubles and collect the coveted digital icon. And each icon makes it possible to get a coupon for some random indie game, sometimes not the first freshness and not the first grade.
“- V! Coupon at 75/80/85/90%! Must be taken, otherwise it will burn!”

NDA-yes … and I am not the only one-no matter how I look at the activity of friends, they take games and forget, like me. For me, the norm is already: to see something interesting at a big discount and want to take, I open the purchase page and op-PA: it turns out I already have it! And it remains only to sit like a fool and scratch the turnips: when he took, for how much and why?

There is also another nasty feeling – there is nothing to play. Yeah. Almost 450 games in the library, but there is nothing to play. Inadvertently recalls a parable about a donkey and two haystacks. So you stand like this donkey in front of two stacks: eat the one that is smaller first, or the one that is more? And so to death from hunger – nothing good.

I think that all this from the manner of getting more, but cheaper, without hesitation about the consequences. Fortunately, I did not fly into loans, oh lol.
Maybe this is a disease, or maybe the “instinct of magpies”.

What do you think about it?

I think that the topic was hackneyed, there was https://roulettetv.co.uk/ even a South Park series on a similar topic. I buy it myself only what I will play for a poverty.

In most cases, I play pirates, and then I buy games if I liked them. Yes, and if I did not like it, but the price is sweet, then I also buy. So I am one of those people who, according to Maxim to. and Konstantin t. does not exist 🙂

I never buy what I will not play in. Exceptions when you buy a game that you played a lot on a pirate to pay tribute to the developers.

Well, finally. I bought Isaac for miserable and shameful 19 rubles. Now I am ashamed. I want to pay extra, but you can’t. The game for all 300 can pull. Well, everyone is better than many projects for 800 rubles … Especially simulators of dog jogging, what is there to hide. Nevertheless, sales in Steam are a real way to get acquainted with the new Janor, a new look, even a new industry in the end. Without them, I would not play Indi, and I would miss Isaac, Mitboy, Hotline Mai and many other cool games. And so-I took something for a penny, there was no pity initially. And now I know for sure that for the sake of a hotlin Moami 2 is ready to give at least 1000. I know that I am crying for a wild pleasure. And not for the next conveyor shit from the category “But we have a graphon”.

Why do I buy mass games massively … Yes, because I am a mood person = D today is a hunting, another … And a good choice of games contributes to a variety. Especially if this is a selection of good games that is nice to you personally. = D

And I assure you, with a reasonable planning of my collection, with a sound approach, patience, buying only by discounts – in a short time, for small relatively money you can collect a good collection. Yes, and somewhere at 250-300 the purchased game simply realized that except for the most novelties (which so far without discounts)-almost everything desired was purchased and it is time to play = D actually

Recipe-Before each purchase, view videos and screenshots in the topic with the game and if it hooked you with something, then buy, albeit in a box. And if she did not please, then do not buy = D

Previously, I didn’t hear about Steam at all and played only pirate games … But then I installed Steam from the disk f.E.A.R. 2 a long time ago, then there were prices in dollars and I scored on Steam, because I did not understand its essence … But now I already have 126 games on the account and set up the games that I did not go and delete it right there … or I am already tired of them or I just don’t like it right away … I think it’s better to skip the sale, so I put a lot of money on the dot with their tuck -out sets> _

I agree … we thus give a debt … well, or how I. I take a pirate download, I look like a game – if the norms – I buy in Steam ..

It’s funny, but it doesn’t work on me. I buy only aaa projects, and then, far from all. Just when they fill up with work, and the girl requires attention, somehow such problems with shop-enormous (as with the gambling) disappear by themselves)) in general, it will not happen all her life, it will pass: D
P.S. And yes, I have 8-9 games in Steam: Z
Funny, less even than on a curling 3 in PSN))

The very 200+ games in Steam … played if a quarter and then good. All sorts of gangs, discounts. I think in 60 years I will sit where the thread in the house for pensioners in an embrace with a laptop will go through these games … But now I’m sitting and I don’t know what to play in.

An unsuccessful joke. I meant that when I have a choice, spend money on something more useful or on the game, I choose the first.

I recently took some kind of Hindu for 8 rubles, never played. I also bought a cleaner simulator for 42 rubles. So, we can all fall under the influence of discounts and turkeys.
