 video games actually come at three price points these days: $20-30 — a video game that costs $20 or $30 $60-70 — $60 to $150, depending on how many missing pieces there are $0 — you will be relentlessly punished until you give them at least $500 modern programming is like, "if you're using bongo.rs to parse http headers, you will need to also install bepis to get buffered read support. but please note that bepis switched to using sasquatch for parallel tokenization as of version 0.0.67, so you will need the bongo-sasquatch extension crate as well." old-time programming is like, "i made a typo in this function in 1993. theo de raadt got so angry he punched a wall when he saw it. for ABI compatibility reasons, we shan't fix the typo."

 @saddestrobots I mean this is literally what happened to the 'Referer' header in HTTP: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_referer tl;dr, it should be spelled 'Referrer', but since it got baked into the spec back in the 90's we still have to use the misspelled version.  |

@saddestrobots I would love to see more FLOSS games!

$1-5 - a game that has way too much content for the price and makes you feel kinda sorry for the devs when you see that you spend 400h in it.

This is what annoys me about game sites now.
I don't have a games console, so don't buy expensive games, but I do play games on my laptop.
I much prefer to buy a game outright and that's it, rather than a stupid app that has a gazillion adverts every other level and I have to buy tokens to get past level 5.
