Well, I just picked up HZD for $17, so I guess I am contributing to that...

Well, $450 million is probably a conservative number. Whenever the hell they bring Horizon Zero Dawn 2 (The Second One?) to PC I will buy it. I am about done with HZD and the expansion at about 75 hours or so, just collecting the last few things and doing some side missions. Beautiful game overall. For whatever reason, killing the big robot animals/dinosaurs has not gotten old. That game also ran smooth as silk from day one, even on my older desktop.

I played through The Last of Us Part 1 as well... after patches, but even before patches, it was playable. It's nice and smooth now. It's a little annoying that they have all the mods or toggles I would have wanted (looting, ammo use, melee weapon breakage, etc.) available AFTER you beat the game. Overall though, good experience, except for the mind numbingly stupid railroaded ending. Which I figured, in game, would at least give you choices, but no, you are stuck in a movie style railroaded (and extremely selfish and stupid) ending. I want to play Part 2 almost purely out of spite, to hopefully see some sort of realistic and less selfish choices be made, but I doubt it's written that way.

I'll probably buy the various Spiderman games at some point, they seem really cool, movement wise, but it's almost Diablo 4 time.

If they ever bring the FromSoftware PS exclusives (Bloodbourne?) etc. to PC I'll probably get those, as I enjoyed Elden Ring far more than I thought I would. Plus they are going to get me for the DLC for that too.

Oh yeah, and Death Stranding, did that game almost 100% complete, in spite of it's mad storyline and console-iness. I may even be missing some big PS to PC release in there somewhere, but Sony already has me for +$200 in the past 2 years or so.

Yeah, even more people would complain about their pricing strategy... The cheapest they ever sell their own games for is maybe 33% off, even several years later, which seems to be grossly offensive to many who are used to paying 50% less after 1-3 months and 75%+ less after 6.
