I am the only one cheap bastard out there?

[Khalunka]

-Be poor as hell.
-Likes watching Grim Dawn
-Grim Dawn 75% off sometime ago.
-No job yet to spend in games. (not priority when low money)
-Got a job.
-Time to buy games, lets wait some sales.
-Grim dawn sales again... now 60%?!
-Check history of sales, 90% of times are 75%.
-Still cheap, but... feels wronged, waiting for another sale.
-Keeps waiting to play the game just because 15% difference.

dammmit

I'm the same with the DLC's I feel they are way too expensive for what you get

You should try to buy it with iron bits.

Iron well spend.

Value will always be subjective
Personally feel GD is an absolute steal at any discount, but i'm also a fanboi and ofc have the hindsight of knowing the amount of enjoyment i got and continue to get out of it, which hindsight aside enjoyment levels can/will still vary for people even if still good game for them.
i can't say how or what the game will be discounted in the future, but devs recently alluded to (while not knowing for sure/not present of that decision) summer sale potentially not getting as deep discounts as previous because of the upcoming updates+expansion, while also not being sure about future discounts

whether you/someone think 60% is fair on its own or more/less fair when factoring in previous discounts is not for me to determine, all i can say, with aforementioned fanboi caveat, imo it's well worth it even if you didn't get the 15% extra off.

likewise here i have to disagree, again potential fanboi blinders on, but imo the expansions are fantastic, and while more expensive than the base game, add so much content the price is more than fair.
One of the reasons might be people think of them as the way modern "dlc" are, when Ashes of Malmouth and Forgotten Gods are more akin to true "older times" expansion, in this case think Lord of Destruction for Diablo 2, not CoD map-pack.
They are actual "real"/full fledged expansions, with the additional "stuff" to go with (including new classes)

^worth to mention a lot more stuff has been added since then, not just items and small stuff but extra areas and bosses and dungeons and features like Monster Totems https://forums.crateentertainment.com/t/grim-misadventure-166-corrupted-wealth/93585
etc etc

Check other places other than steam.

For me even the full price for both expansions was worth it. The value they add to the game is enourmous, which is especially obvious for people who were playing the game since the release and experienced every update and expansion release. I spent 3k+ hours in Grim Dawn, so I can't possibly regret the cost.

But, of course, I won't shame you for not having enough money, or not willing to spend last money on the game. Everyone has their own life circumstances. And yes, what Hurricane said, check other stores. Grim Dawn has been out for a while, may be there are cheaper offers on the market.

just in case it was a mention to something other than these: if you buy Grim Dawn any other place than Steam, GoG, or Humble devs dont' get any money, and might even lose money
These 3 places are the only ones that's officially sold for this particular game

[Tsanavar]

No need to feel bad I'm also waiting to see the DLCs on their previous big sales.

[Rimentez]

Just wish i got into arpg sooner cause I saw this on sale at its best discount prices so many times on steam for many years, so I had many chances.

Hopefully autumn or winter sale this year will offer the best discount and will pick it up by then.

Edit: I bought it with the current discount. Just an extra 7 dollars difference, no big deal. I am pretty much a frugal person.

[Bludbonez]

I always keep a small buffer of money for gaming in case I find something I really like.

[MedeaFleecestealer]

Bear in mind that if you already own the base game then you can buy other parts via the Definitive Edition and the discount there gets added to any sales discount so you'd save a bit more.

[Mordtziel]

No, you're definitely not alone. You're on steam. I'd hazard a guess that most people on steam are cheap bastards. People on here basically fall into one of two categories: Day 1 purchasers that will pay any standard price and people that wait 7 years for a 75% discount on a game that's already had the base price reduced by 60%. Not saying that's what's happened to Grim Dawn, but just saying in general. There are a large number of people that will only buy games if they're for less than $10 and some wait until they're under $5. I find it rather pathetic to be so chintzy over something that's less than a single gallon of gas some places, but I'm not struggling that hard.

Yeah ... Crate is a small, independent developer. If you like the game, be nice to the devs and support them (by buying it from a legitimate source that'll actually give them their share).

I bought it on GOG once it was -90% but the thing is I don't really play games on there and I like when numbers go up on Steam for some reason... no one looks at this except for me. I will probably buy it again right now but on christmas sale it might be -75%

it might also be -50%
that's the general "gamble", it's hard to determine what a discount might be in the future, if it's not one of those games sorta semi set in stone/"doing that same fixed discount for 5-10years+"
is also why i linked the dev's remark during summer sale about discounts potentially not being as high as before, also even if Z wasn't stating that for certainty

[The_Mess]

@OP - I feel ya, that was me back before benefits got boosted here in NZ + I got moved to the much higher paying Supported Living Payment because my depression is pretty bad. Also I'm currently juggling other bills so wont be getting anything this sale either :(
