How often do you usually buy video games?

Question

Hurlyburly · Accepted Answer

It differs. During sales I could buy 10 or more games in just one week. Otherwise maybe one or two a month... at least if you do not count my humble monthly subscription 😅

LuWe22 · Accepted Answer

Every few months

BeMuse · Answer

Well my steam badge says 13 years and I have 621 games in my steam library right now. So that’s like 48 games a year on average through steam. I have games on other platforms and still some games on CDs (20 something on Epic, random DRM free games on Humble, GOG, Greenman, etc.) and a bunch of random duplicate copies of games keys from bundles. I get a lot of games free though and buy tons of them in bundles for dirt cheap and on sales. Maybe it all averages out to one a week, but average price is maybe a couple of dollars or less.

Jjpayne · Answer

I went them more often than buy, terrible enough I get them free for 7days from the library im playing days gone the motorcycle zombie one but I was playing shadow of the tomb raider and another racing game... Something like onward or something like that it's like a racing arcade game

My parents gave away my video game console when I began University at age 18 but before they did - I would buy games about once every 1-2 years. I had the Super Mario game with the 96 levels and I beat the game around 2-3 times before I gave it away. I tried to re-buy it again at 21 but they were no long selling the 2-D type I like to play.

Lauren-green · Answer

I quite often buy them for my partner if I know there's one that he's after. But we have the whole lot of PlayStations, right through from ps1-ps4, so I like to buy olders games from online that I used to play when I was little. Cool to play them again😊

drummerdude25 · Answer

Not that often... I’ll find one that I really like and just play that for ages though, like I’ve been playing Apex Legends since it dropped earlier this year, and that was a free download so that was cool...

It’s so good though that I haven’t minded buying some of the cosmetics and season passes. Season 2 is out today!

Docnomania · Answer

When i can afford to do so without sacrificing bills, food, or weed
In that order

It helps to have a job where i dont need to think about it
If i need something, i buy it
If i want something, i wait until i can afford it

311WasAnInsideJam · Answer

I've buy ps2 games from time to time, because I don't have any other consoles of my own.

However my ps2 is also softmodded with a hard drive full of games, so the only reason I buy games is for display purposes.

witherwing · Answer

When games on my wishlist are on sale on Steam. 😂 I've bought two games from the summer sale so far.

Not very often. I actually don't play games anymore to be perfectly honest. The only game I still open is sims 3 but that's just to take pictures and edit for my tumblr.

AynonOMouse · Answer

Is that actually your collection?
Awesome! Did you play those two Lunar RPGs on the Sega CD? Or Iron Storm, Dragon Force, and Shining Force 3 on the Saturn? Those were some of my favorite old school games that most people haven't played.

MayBlythe · Answer

Anytime a game I think I'll like is released. I just pre-ordered pokemon sword and shield yesterday, and am waiting for fire emblem three houses

Last time was nearly a year ago. I can't run many games on my laptop and i'd rather invest in other things before a computer I can run games on but there are many games that i'd like to play if I could.

Daniel3035 · Answer

Good question well back like 10 years ago I bought like 2 or 3 a time. Today barely one there's very little quality games out today and for the price. 10 years ago it was like 30 brand new today it's 50 that's a lot.

Once every couple of months. Because of my work schedule, I don't get to play video games as frequently as I used to.

Quite often in general. Generally bundles, or sales. I have more than 800 games on steam, a hundred more on other different plateforms, and a dozen on consoles.

The last time I purchased a video game was nearly a decade ago and it wasn't even for me.

MrOracle · Answer

The most recent one was RockSmith 2014 for the 360. That should give you a good idea...

Tslaveee · Answer

Hardly ever. Games have been watered down. Good releases never happen. Games are sold unfinished for $60 then milked for another $200 through micro transactions or loot boxes.

Whenever a Steam sale happens. And whenever I see vintage ones at fairs.
