    If a publisher is brave enough to ask 2.99 for the "game" that is 90" Soccer, then you are brave enough to ask your crush out.
    And after doing the latter this year, I'd recommend going with the former.

    Just buy the cheap soccer game, everybody. It's gonna be more fun in the long run.

    Meanwhile, the Nintendo store for its Switch has 4,000+ games in sales right now, and around 2,000 every week, outside the holidays periods. OK, most of them are unknown shitty independent mobile pixel-art titles, but we can find more or less famous old games for $/€/£0.99 or so, like Syberia, Car Mechanic Simulator, Yesterday Origins or Submerged, instead of 15. It's 90% discounts. And there are hundreds below 2.50.

    Please be inspired by them, Microsoft.
    MS don't choose the prices, publishers do.
    As I always say, I know MS doesn't, but they are above everything, those are their consoles, they are the big boss, so they should have the final word. They have an image to keep up. Letting always the same old publishers/contents doing whatever they want an come back each week isn't a good move, to my opinion. I know they don't care about their image and about the users' comments, but they shouldn't. While certain games have been on sale 256 times a year and some other none, there's a problem. We can't oblige a publisher to discount their things, but here's anoher bad move: they prefer sell 3 copies at full price than 100 discounted. facepalm
    This exactly especially if they expect gamers to have FOMO and not wait for deals...the non bc 360 games and dlc if they are cheaper I will gladly buy them at at least 50 percent and if not then I save my money for something else
    if u have ez games on your gamercard dont b a hypocrite and stop others from enjoying the same games and try not 2 spend more than 4 dollars for them

    Is the moral that you will be pleasantly surprised by both outcomes? What if your crush likes 90 soccer and it becomes the starting point of the relationship 😃

    What kind of crushes are you dating that are worse than one of the most worthless "games" of 2023?

    I don't think they will. I guess their strategy is --as the 360 store closes next July-- to not make deals of non-BC contents. This way, people who really want their missing contents, will buy at full prices. Sadly. 😭

    With Far Cry 6 into GP, I'm looking at the dlc. Looks like the Upgrade Pass is the best way to get them all. Can anyone confirm?

    (Yes, I am too lazy to check it myself...)

    Reminds me of the aca neogeo games that are never on sale....I guess money is better than some money and they don't believe in depreciating game values or licenses at this point since we don't actually own anything physical

    Yeah, the GOTY Upgrade Pass has everything. The Season Pass doesn't include the newest DLC, although I hear it's very bad so it's up to you if you want it just for the achievements or not.

    Lol. Classic Ubisoft.
    Thanks for confirming.

    95% of all Switch sales are junk, which are constantly on sale because they are junk, and that massively hinders discovery of quality titles, and Nintendo themselves rarely do discounts, and when they do it's no more than 30%.

    Store sales do need to rethink their approach to offering sales, as more games release it becomes harder to adequately market the different kinds of sales going on and the games available. But the Nintendo eShop is by far the worst store and not one anybody should be inspired to follow.

    Shape of The World looks like just the kind of thing I'm in the mood for at the moment.

    Also grabbed Nobody Saves The World +DLC. Completed it when it was on GP, but I'm looking forward to playing it again and checking out the DLC.
    I wish I could get the word out more about Shape of the World, which is just surreal and relaxing. I highly recommend that and Feather if you just need to chill out.

    Oh, that's great to hear! Makes me even more excited to dive into it.

    I enjoyed Feather too, picked that up for a similarly low price a few months back. 👍

    Wish they would heavily discount some Artifex Mundi games, it's been a long time since they have had good deals on them, they are a steal on Switch but I want achievements haha

    That’s a kick ass price for the Leisure Suit Larry bundle. I did the walkthrough for Wet Dreams Don't Dry, so I fulling recommend them!!!

    Just noticed Endzone - A World Apart: Complete Edition is 80% off which is a steal. I paid twice this much back in April and haven't even tried the game yet -backlog blues-
