How long you need to work in order to get a 50$/€ game ?

I have to wait for about 2-3 years until it goes down to 5 currencies. I can't justify spending 50$ on a game, when I can get other great, be them older, games for 5 or less.

In my country (Israel) a guy in my age need to work for about 11 hours to get an 50$ game.
In my work I need to work about 9 hours..

How can you even mention Far Cry 3 in there? And DmC is a great game as well.. when you're putting those beside FG, there's something wrong with you.
"i see alot of kids crying about the prices of AAA Games" no shit dude you don't usually have day jobs when you're younger

Does that really matter? People spend their money on something that turns out to be less than what they expected have a right to complain. Whether it's 5$ or 50$.

I'm studying right now. So about 8 hours of low paying part-time job.

If I were to have a job, I guess 14 hours would be the most realistic

14 hours. Czech Republic, temporary job. With 158€ / month limit. I am not buying games for the full price anyways. It's not worth it.

About 3 hours. But there are no game in my library that I paid full price for. I prefer to wait for sales and spend my money elsewhere. With as little time I can spend on gaming, with work and kids, there are no game worth paying $50 for. (Then again, by paying less I tend to buy more games than I actually have the time to play. I just like to have choice in my library I guess.)

You dont make any sense. People refuse to buy games at full price because a) they are pretty bad/not enjoyable or b) they are not good enough to buy at release so they wait for a discount. Pre-ordering and buying games impulsively always leads to disappointment.

People who live in countries with bad economy can still earn enough money to buy a game once a month and I've never encountered anyone who complains about that because games are a luxury. When you are low on cash, not having enough money to buy games should be the least of your worries.

This is a big dick-wagging thread about how much money you make...

purchasing-power parity?
Big mac Index by The Economist

In Poland it takes (for a wage available for a student) about 20 hours to earn about 50 euros. Considering our prices of AAA games it's about 14 to 15 hours.

0. What can I say, I'm spoiled.

Why are people even bothering to reply in this thread?

I sit on my ass and play while my wife goes to work... so zero hours, I win.

I can make $50 in under a day, but i won't spend that money on a game that will cost $25 in 2 months and $10 a couple months later.

I'd rather spend $10 for the game and $40 for other stuff. It's not like i'm out of games to play, i have hundreds i did not even install yet.
