when I was in Canada, 2 hours max to pay that.
The last 4 months I have been volunteering in East Africa and will be here for 2 years.
In order to buy a game at that price on a volunteer allowance (the same wage a Tanzanian would be making) it would take 2 weeks.

Two hours, but I never do. Wait a few months and it's 50% off.
I'm in no hurry to play any game, way too much backlog to drop that much on a new game.

Man... im spanish, and right now its really hard to find a job here, so before doing the math i'd have to calculate the probability of getting a job in the first place xD
Anyway, espect to see LOADS of spanish people looking for a job in germany, as our country is f***ed up at the moment and the best chance of survival we have is emigrating :( i hope i dont have to...
well... what i wanted to say, is that there are other factors to keep in mind in order to determine if 50€ are accesible to most of the population.
I myself play only bunle games and "price exploited games" in fact, never paid more than 10$ for a game. And i'd like to keep it that way

It's pretty low class to ask others about their finances.
Your post starts out on a fallacy however. It presumes that people play bundle or indie games because they have to and not because those are some of the best, most innovative games out there. Why spend $60 for another rehashed, cliched experience which at times will prove subpar even at providing the expected well-worn tasting notes, when you can spend $10 for a brand new indie game or $5 for a bundle of relatively new indie games with much more to offer?
That is not to say that there are not AAA titles that are amazing, or that there are not even a few that are worth $60 (there are), but you cannot judge someone's wealth by their taste in games. Nor, can you judge a game by how much it is being sold for.
Also, coming back around to class, the old rich know that it is by saving money and spending it wisely on investments that one continues to be rich. It is a fault of the poor and certain nouveaux rich to spend money recklessly. There is a reason that Scrooge McDuck was an erstwhile penny-pincher; it left him plenty of pennies to swim in.

nobody is forced to answer, for me i think its pretty interesting to see that,
and if you click someones profile you see how generous he is either, the prostitute from the first reply has a real high steamgifts contribution. on other peoples profiles i now know why the contribution isnt as high as for others.

My country for example, the currency triples the USD price. You can imagine every game is $180+ instead of usual $60. Part time job can get you around $1 to $4 per hour (after currency converted). While workers can still buy and consider em cheap, students on the other hand kinda had to work their ass off. But there's always something to do to get some money rather than complaining on threads lol.

About 4.5 hours to get $50 USD. Really 5 hours if this is the day where the USD has more value. But those are rare days seeing most the time I pay less in Canadian dollars for USD games. So 4.5 hours at $10.50 an hour.

Well, I could buy full price games if I wanted to, and although my wife would complain I could probably get away with it if I actually played them.
But even if I did play and all that, I still wouldn't buy full price PC games. The only reason to pay full price, far as I can tell, is impatience.

1 workday which includes traveling expenses and lunch.

Around 3hs of work. But I never buy games full price, so the point is moot. Why should I pay full price when I'll only have the time to play the game some 6 months after it's release (if I'm lucky).

Hey, just out of curiousity, i see alot of kids crying about the prices of AAA Games, and see all of them play bundle games or price exploited games all day, so whats the issue... don't people otherwere are able to buy the 50€ games ?
right now there is are these Threads again, crying how much Aliens sucks, but the guy that started it haven't even played it, it already happened on how much other AAA Games sucks (far cry 3, devil may cry 2013, family guy :) )
On a closer look i saw these guys are from one of the really poor countrys, so this might be the issues ?
So just a little question, how long you have to work in order to buy a 50€ game ?
For me its 2 Hours (already deducted tax's) (GERMANY)
so i really dont care about high prices in Germany because it should be way easier for me to get a 50€ game than someone from Tier 3 because its 10 Hours of work for him ?
