Yeah, I am a cheap ass. It is the economy of today where prices of cost of living are ust terrible. At least double or more, than what they should be, so, I don't dispute about try to get pirate or free games. Just I had trouble with those old fashioned creampie games. Something about their coding broke the game. I am no expert by far, but to be honest, if you look through steam sales, often those $50 to $100 games can be 50% to 80% off at times.
That's what I do with Resident Evil and Final Fantasy games. just buy the $10 to $20 max. Cheap is my middle name, and ass is my last name, so, this cheap ass vampire waits patiently for those budget prices. I can afford that price if I save, but if I really love the game, like Age Of Empires 2, I will also buy DLC, but they need be on sale. (I have them all all ready, but used example there).
