How do people buy so many games? My dad always lectures me on budgeting!

AND HE ALWAYS LECTURES ME ON BUYING GAMES AND NOT PLAYING IT

[Account]

I usually buy them when they are on sale. Although, I have stopped lately, because I realized that I have enough games to last me perhaps a lifetime and I haven't played the large majority of those lol.

[MUSICTOKU099125]

How? Why?

I always pre order new games.

You're 25 and your dad is lecturing you about finances. We can afford games because we aren't still on our parents tit.

I can’t work, i’m on disability! YOU DONT KNOW SHIT ABOUT ME! JERK ASS! by the way i’m 26, turning 27 this year!

With money. I tried buying a game with a goat once but they just called the police on me.

[MUSICTOKU099125]

What?

[MysticDevice]

It was a joke lol. You asked how people buy games and I said they buy them with money, then made it funnier.

[AI Opinion]

A lot of gamers don’t buy everything at full price. They wait for Steam/PlayStation sales, use wishlist alerts, buy used copies, trade games with friends, or use subscriptions like Game Pass 🎮

Your dad’s point about “buying and not playing” is valid though. Maybe finish or at least try what you own first, then set a fixed monthly “game budget” so it feels under control 💸

Because its in my budget.

[MUSICTOKU099125]

How?

[Agape93]

Because I make enough to buy a couple games?

[MUSICTOKU099125]

How many do you buy a year? A month?

[Agape93]

Maybe 5 or 6 a year tops? I'm not a huge gamer and im very selective.

They don’t listen to their dads

Also, for real, a lot of those guys (most but not all of them are guys) work in the STEM fields, and they make a lot of money. They don’t need to worry about budgeting.

Like i’m on disability, i can’t work and my dad is retired. We have to budget nowadays. But i’m young, i’m 26. I want to buy technology and play video games

I’m sorry. You can still play video games. Just maybe not every cool video game that exists.
