Play ur backlog first though ;) 👉 Use Code Foekoe for 10% off Gamer Supps!!! - gamersupps.gg/Foekoe 👈 Thumbnail art by: @CybeR_ Twitter: / foekoe Discord: / discord Steam Group: steamcommunity.com/groups/Foekoe
ik what are you trying to say but you know big studios like ubisoft or rockstar games have like over 5,000 people in them that need money for eating and paying rent
Foekoe decided to be funny when talking about game prices instead of relying on the same 4 jokes that have been used by every gaming RU-vidr under the sun for the past 4 years and has been bad for the past 4 years
happened to a friend of mine except it was like 2 days after and he already spent like 4 hours on it. he did request a refund from steam and got his money back
or DDLC+ actually the original is free because well it's the original, but you prob want to buy the improved versions of a game so ofc you are going to buy plus version (please do not nerd emoji me)
@@wedoalittletrolling723 ammm actually... If you mentally unstable person or... just play fortnite you was able to get ddlc+ free on epic games maybe 2 weeks ago 🤓🤓🤓
@@wedoalittletrolling723Wdym by "it's free because it's the original" like DDLC+ took about 5 years to release if I'm not wrong and DDLC was free for all that time
Speaking as an indie game developer, I would add that indie game developers are even more dependent on sales than AAA companies. Indies struggle to get media coverage and a steam sale is often their best way to get store page visibility.
7:29 actually felt indescribable horror when, not just awesome calculator, but SPECIFICALLY the mod i made for it got shown in the video. what in the world
The real way to "cheat the system" is not to buy games you will never play. That alone will save you hundreds, sale or not. "Want what you have, not what you want" is the quote I live by for that.
Seconding this. Not every game that catches my eye is gonna be worth my time and money. My game collection is far smaller and I still get just as much enjoyment out of it!
@@cobbleddeepslate7606 For me, honestly it's based on price of the game and my interest in it. If I buy a game for $40 and end up enjoying it but not beating it, I don't really mind cause I can always go back and play it later
I hear so many people even my bf saying they have so many games they don't play, I buy a few games per steam sale or once in a while on PS store (but many ps games are from my local library with free 1 week borrows on almost every new game) and I only make sure to get the games I'll play. Even if I may not finish it immediately I will still make sure to play it before buying more. Why would I buy 10 games that caught my eye but never touch when I can get like 5 games that I know I will play til the next sale?
Ok as someone who is basically now a sale expert (i'm a cheap ass), you are on point with some of these ways to buy games cheaper. However, there are some parts that needs to be considered: - First off, forget completely about Nintendo. They almost never put their games on sale and if they do, it's like 5% or something. BOTW came out 7 YEARS AGO and the cheapest I saw that game was like $40, that's insane. Same thing is happening with the souls games, thanks to the popularity of Elden Ring, they almost never got on sale, and if they do it's ass. DS3 for $40 in a sale for an 8 year-old game it's insane. - Some deals got worse over the time. A lot of those indie games you showed were as dirt cheap as $1.50, like Spelunky and Super Meat Boy, but they never got s low as that, and the Valve complete pack was as cheap as $6. Not anymore. -If you're REALLY that cheap ass (like me lol), there's sites called gg.deals and isthereanydeal where you can see in what places the game you want is cheaper, and they show you a history of the lowest price they've ever sold the game and when. Be careful by keysellers (G2A, cdKeys), and deactivate them on gg.deals so they don't appear, NEVER buy on keysellers. -Be really careful with FOMO. Don't buy games on launch if you're scared of missing out the discussion of the popular game at the time with the rest of the internet. It's not worth it. If you REALLY want to play the game on launch, that's ok, but only if you have the money and you're completely sure the game doesn't suck and it runs fine. Be also careful with FOMO if there is a game that you want and is sold at a historical low, remember the games you already have in your library and try to finish that big ass backlog you probably have there. - Second-hand games are always more expensive than buying the game on Steam, except if that game is console exclusive.
may i ask why cdkeys is bad? i know why g2a is because it's a marketplace and most of the keys are stolen and or aquired thru less than legal means, but cdkeys aint a marketplace or am i completely misunderstanding why it's bad? ps. i'm not saying you're lying, i just am confused as to why they are bad and i'll stop using them if they are
@@NikNikTikTakwell there is the chance in theory that you get a bad code that is a scam. But i have used cd keys a few times and tried to see if its verified as some were from a previous sale so they were rebought from the dev. People like to give general advice because there is always a chance someone will not pay attention and risk getting scammed even if its a small chance. Like giving advice not to click random links on the internet. For spme its easiee than explaining how to be careful and letting you work that out. However i often try to give advice.
@@NikNikTikTakin short alot of people like to listen to gesr say abd fesr the offchance atleast one attempt might be true. In short I havent had issue with cdkeys personally. Just make sure you look over things first :)
i played drg for completely free from ps extra but i realised the game was so goddamn good i gave both of my friends money to buy it also, best decision ever now i can rock and stone with my friends
Foekoe spends the entire video explaining how to get cheap and free games, only to say "One of the best things you can do is buy the game at full price"
the only thing that kinda sucks about buying bundles is over time you'll get games you already own, but on the bright side you can give your friends a free game!
we live in a world with countless numbers of fun free games, this hobby is not expensive whatsoever unless you don't enjoy anything that isn't trendy or is AAA
I would also recommend emulating old games that you weren't able to purchase in your childhood, for example right now I'm having the time of my life playing the entire budokai tenkaichi trilogy.
Epic games is actually OP. The entire Bioshock collection was free like 2 years ago and that is atleast 30 hours of really fun gameplay. I don't remember when exactly it was but all the fallout games (except for 4 and 76) were also free.
Thanks for the dopamine TikTok subway surfers and Minecraft parkour videos hasnt been doing it for me but your videos give me that rush that other stuff don't have
I bought Celeste, AntonBall, Rainworld, Undertale and Inscryption( all phenomenal and massively beloved indie games) for like 10 bucks total because I bought them when they were on sale. Best 10 bucks I've ever spent
AntonBall isnt really that popular but for what it is its kinda fun but really short and the online multiplayer is quite laggy from what ive played of it
@@BlueMarioGangsta It's still a cool indie game, popular or not. For example, the demo for Boom Buster, a indie game that should come out in 2025 is an absolute sleeper hit, even tough it isn't popular. You should defiantly try it out.
The thing with bundles is that you have to think twice if you'll actually play the games or have time to play the games. I have over 1000 games in steam, and I keep buying more from Humble and fanatical cause the deals are so good. But the thing is, I'm buying more than I'll ever be able to play so I'm not really saving money at all
Man, love this video... idk why but your videos always give me a certain feeling that I can never replicate no matter what I do, great job man this has to be my favourite video so far ❤
castle crashers sale was SO good, in my country it was less than 1 dollar and i had so much fun with my friends beating that game. also hollow knight is the best game i ever played on my life.
About a year ago, within TWO (maybe three now) years since making a Steam account, I discovered this to be a thing when my parents could not keep up with my video-game-collecting habits since I am still not allowed to drive which is why I planned-what THEY denied when I owned a Switch in 2017 for Christmas when Sonic Forces was released (lucky me...)-into investing digital games for convenience sake, especially on Steam, and this absolutely gave me a lot more to play for until I find a proper living despite recently edging it out on my savings through the Summer Sale by going with what *I* would like to play the most because I could not find a part-time job over the summer while still considering college and ONLY coming out of high school at the age of 20. However, this does mean that I am (and always had) practically not legally allowed to buy games that are NOT on sale at least 50% off (worth varies) for until I get off from being a broker and not looking like a big spender, for what that is worth. Keep in mind that I currently own a mostly-manageable PC and Switch, and have considered owning a PS5 and Quest 3, so it could one day considerably go beyond the number of what Foekoe has on his Steam account COMBINED. Speaking of which, I was going to make a joke at 3:11: Steam be robbing ME more than I could rob from THEM at the moment! I pretty much became the victim of the Summer Sale-twice in fact, both 2023 AND 2024-and my wishlist is still considerably huge (560+), ...mostly as half of them I counted do not get on sale to a considerable extent. And one more thing to note is that I recently DID made a Itch account (...for no particular reason 🙄[really, not your usual one]) and found a THOUSAND more; and as it is stated, they are mostly free (as a lot of them are currently in development, as it turns out). For anyone curious to see, my Steam account IS public and has the same name as this account. I will update my showcase when I complete more games! ...Eventually.
Steam's sales are both insane and why Steam is a god-tier gamestore/launcher that can't be outclassed. See a game you like? Throw it on your wishlist, and then when a sale happens, Steam will email you, notify you on the steam app and even tell you within steam itself with a notification, "Hey, these games you put on your wishlist a few months ago are on sale - go buy 'em." If you're impatient or unsure, you can look up exact big sale times (summer and winter sales are generally the biggest with the highest discounts) but honestly you don't even need to know sale dates - Steam will just tell you when they happen (and they usually throw in incentives to go looking for deals, like daily chat stickers for checking genres and cards exclusive to that sale for a special badge for Steam XP if you go through your queue each day).
