TODAY (August 28, 2023 at 8:30p CST) the price is $40 on Steam. You can see it in the post just above yours.
Yes, I understand that. It’s this part that is completely out of touch with reality:
You’re saying there’s no chance whatsoever it’s going on any kind of sale before June?
It is…literally…$40. Right now.
It has been literally much less than $40 many times.
What a weird thing to be stubborn over. If his goal is to wait to save money, then he’s going to wait for a sale. That is the obvious implication of what he’s saying. There will be a sale by next summer, and thus, he will indeed save money, even if the non-sale MSRP does not drop.
Here is the price history for Skyrim on Nintendo Switch (which was said what is used) on Amazon.
The main point is the price I quoted above is, almost always, the actual price. Not $10.
What’s weird is your post trying to say otherwise.
You can get Skyrim for half that price without a sale on a 3rd party store that gives you a steam key.
This.
I’m very excited for Starfield, but not enough to interrupt my Baldur’s Gate 3 playthrough. I estimate I’m nearly 2/3rds of the way done with the game, but it’s going to take my full attention for at least a few more weeks. Once that’s done I can dive into Starfield.
Maybe we can have 10 or 15 more posts about how the MSRP for a game that isn’t Starfield is 40 dollars but sometimes it’s less than 40 dollars?
No, I played Skyrim exclusively on PC.
Me too. Although there is no way I will finish BG3 for another month or so at least. Not sure I can wait to give Starfield a spin. I’ll wait for reviews to see if I will stop my BG3 playthrough (temporarily) and play Starfield.
I think the Larian CEO made a genius move when he decided to release BG3 a month earlier than planned to avoid competing with Starfield.
Confused:
That quote literally talks about having a laptop for PC games, why the confusion?
No, I played Skyrim exclusively on PC.
For PC game like this, I’d have to cart my laptop up there. I might do that, but probably not.
Playing the game at school.
Mahaloth prefers to bring a Switch for after hours at school because the laptop is too cumbersome, which is why big games played on PC (which are time-consuming) wait until school is out.
Seemed pretty clear to me.
Yes, I have a Switch for portable games, but I have a gaming laptop. I can take it to work, but it is more laborious and so forth.
I will play Starfield on PC either at Christmas break or May-July or so next year.
Not for the pricing deal.

It’s just more convenient for me to play it then.

It will be patched up and reviews will be out to really see how it is.
I didn’t play Skyrim at release, either. Didn’t have a PC to run it. Did by 2012-2013 and played it then.
Not the hill to die on. I bought it for < $20 more than 5 years ago.I already owned it from pre-steam days but I had a new computer and it was on sale on steam so I bought it again.
So, Starfield…
There’s already a build planner (no story spoilers on it). Anyone played with it or anything similar?
And the Titanic almost always had no holes in its hull. What’s your point?
The reason Skyrim costs $40 is so that they can say it’s 75% off when they sell it at its actual price of $10. $40 is the opening price, not the price anyone pays.
The argument about what Skyrim costs will not continue one word more in this thread.
