Dear @steam

Any PC game marked at $69 or above will be added to my ignore list regardless of the "quality" of the game

Enough is enough

People pay full price for steam games?

Like, you don't have an abundance of games to play and cant wait a year, maybe two, to get it for atleast 50% off?

Or is that just me and am I weird?

Not just you. I don't think I've ever paid full price for a Steam game. Some new games enamor me with their flashy graphics and fresh takes on formulas... but I don't see the point in shelling out big bucks for a new game when I can play it 3 years from now for at least 50% off and have the same amount of enjoyment (Realistically, though, I'm just going to replay New Vegas for the 30th time and never touch the new game).

Admittedly, it is nice to experience a game at the same time as the rest of society because then you're part of the buzz and you get to discover new things with everyone else, but that experience isn't worth $69.99 MSRP.
