Are there any games you're planning to pick up during the Steam and GOG sales?
We've got two big sales going on, and I'm currently deciding what I would like to pick up. I'm planning to get Expeditions: Rome since it's 60% off, and I'm trying to decide if I want to finally get Terra Invicta.
What patient games are the people here planning to pick up? Maybe I'll find a few that I "need" to try!

I'm kinda offended with these deals. They were great when games were $50. Now that they're trying to charge $70, the deals are just getting prices down to the old regular price, not seeming like a deal at all to me. Now I have to be even more patient. Oh well...
Plus most sales are the same deal as past sales, and they happen often.
To be honest though, if the price of games kept up with inflation over the decades, then they'd cost like $120-200 today.
Prices are largely in line with historical prices, after inflation. $70 today is worth about the same as $50 in 2011. IIRC, new releases were often $60 back then, so new games may actually be cheaper today than ever.
That doesn't make it any better though. I'm patient because games don't release in a solid state these days, and by the time they're properly patched, they're on a solid discount. I'm not paying $70 to be a beta tester, I'd rather pay <$50 for a solid, patched game, even better if it's less.
I mean my paycheck certainly hasn't been in line with inflation 😭
