First, gaming has never been cheaper. I'm amazed that new games are still $60. I used to play the same games over and over when I was a kid because I couldn't afford more.

Second, while some games are short, other games are absolutely massive. Games like Skyrim, Dragon Age, or Far Cry have a staggering amount of content compared to older generations. It's not like anyone who thinks value is important is out of options.

Personally, there are very few games I'll pay $60 for. Something like The Order, as mentioned in the video, isn't worth $60 to me. However, if someone else wants to pay $60 and believes the game is worth that amount, then more power to them. I have no problem with that. Even better, I have a fantastic method for getting around that--I simply wait until the price goes down. It's super effective.

:o it's so obvious! How come people have never thought of that before?

'Cause I'm always one step ahead of the game.

Also, standard advice used to be, "calm down and think," but now it's, "stay upset and post a video on youtube."
