@aeva @memoriesin8bit I know right? And the horror of book series! They have like 20 parts! Ahhh!
In all seriousness, I think this movement comes from the fact we are all actually kinda broke as gamers in a world with more games then ever before, and staring at new releases as a tax for "keeping up with friends playing the new things". A lot of social pressure outside is making it seem we are priced out. When in fact games even at 80 are way cheaper. But number got big looking, you know?
