    I can count the list of AAA publishers I trust enough to spend money on their games on one hand.

    AAA games are basically the worst segment of gaming right now. There is just so much incredible content in indie gaming right now the idea of even paying attention to big companies like EA and Ubisoft is laughable to me.

    Down with corporate gaming, long live the indie developer

    Is a company is able to discount their games by 90% just because, they aren’t worth ever looking at. The more a’s they use, the worse the game.

    Even at 25% off, a $70 game is still a ripoff.

    Which is why you only buy games at 90+% off or through game bundles. Unless the developer proves the game is worth the money through all the positive things the community has to say about it.

    Chances are good that your backlog is large enough that you can just wait for newer games to be priced reasonably, even if you’re buying games at sensible discounts.

    Especially for single player games there is no real reason to play a game on release, other than the hype cycle. You might even be better served waiting a while and not be punished by issues that are patched after release.
