So I have a philosophical gaming question for you.
Visual novels are admittedly pretty niche in the gaming market as a whole.
If they don’t sell well enough sequels don’t happen.
So, as a patient gamer, do I pay full price for these games to support further development even though that means buying less games.
Or do I wait till they go for deep discount like I have been and have therefore been able to spread my limited support around more.
If my end goal is making sure these games keep being made as much as possible, what’s my best option?
I am all for the patient gaming mentality and typically wait until games are 50%+ off before I think of purchasing.
Looking for opinions on my best course of action. Thanks!
Buying isn’t supporting. Capitalism is not a social support network.
Companies have spent millions and taken years to convince people that going shopping is a kind of activism.
If I suggested you donate money directly to a video game company, or volunteer your time to help them you’d see right away how fucking weird that whole concept is.
