In a perfect world, sure, but in our reality you'd just get tons of people saying they want Elden Ring for a dollar or something.
But even if it worked, it's just games getting on sale faster. Right now, you can either pay a higher price today or wait until the game gets as cheap as you want, but it might take months or years.
As for just the information, how much people would pay for a game, that's what market research if for I guess.
The Remake apparently didn't sell, and the legally-distinct-Dead-Space (Callisto Protocol), from the OG creator also didn't sell well. Doesn't seem like people want Dead Space right now.
If it's not just run speed, but reactions in general, it makes sense, because in previous games, your character moves like they're in molasses.
Shit
Might have to stop playing then.
basically 3D Dead Cells with furries. True, but since I play as the Pangolin, who has no fur, I can't possibly be a furry myself.
More Windblown. I finished the game a few more times on the lowest difficulty, then moved up to the next. I have made it to the final area and boss a bunch of times, but not beat it yet.
Then, some more Disco Elysium. I'm on Day 3 now and started exploring the area that opened up. I think I'm doing things very similar to my first playthrough, but already found a few things I missed before. From my first playthrough, I remembered your partner Kim commenting on you running everywhere, so I deliberately walked everywhere on the first day. Sadly, he says the same thing and doesn't take into account that you just walk, so now it's back to jogging. Hope you like the workout, Kim!
Also, some World of Warcraft. Did very little this week, just some of the weekly quest to buy the last stuff I wanted. I still wanna do some event achievements, but I'm too lazy. Maybe over the holidays. There's also been a patch, that added some new area, but I'm not even gonna bother with it.
How is it a cash grab?
You'll never catch me using filters like these voluntarily. Inject those crisp pixels straight into my vein.
They just find pesky bugs, that need to be fixed. No bugs, no need to fix stuff.
Re-subbed to WoW for a month, for the huge 20th Anniversary Event. Since I've played so much earlier in the year (another event and expansion launch), I'm not interested in continuing after the sub runs out. There are a few more achievements I'll finish, but otherwise I'm kinda done.
FF14 is the only other MMO I've played, have like 650 hours on Steam, and I think I'm in the middle of the Stormblood campaign. It's been a while since I played it, but some day I'll make it to Endwalker.
While Disco Elysium is like no other CRPOG I've played, I have to disagree with your other point, because Indies exist with tons of innovative stuff in there.
World of Warcraft by a huge margin. A couple of years ago, I went through all my characters, and added the /played time up. I think it was already over 10k back then, and I've played a bunch since then. Also, I often delete characters, so I can't count those. My sub runs for another 10 days, so I might take the time to check again.
Next is probably Diablo 2, but that was 20 years ago, when this stuff wasn't really automatically tracked.
On Steam I have two idle games at 800 hours, FF14 650h, both Nioh games 600h each.
