This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Yes that is absolutely a valid way of approaching the problem although you do then sometimes run into the problem that the game you're trying to play is no longer supported (service been shut down left and right).
I also think it's a bit unnecessary, by all means play the classics if that's what you're into, but if you're doing it to save money, it's not as if there aren't high quality indie games being made right now, so it's not like you have to just play old games to be frugal.
Don't worry, I know of good new indie games, and I'm not playing those either.
i love indie games also-- in fact playing through hades 2 right now, which is hard to believe how awesome it is. other notable amazing titles include balatro, DRG (ROCK AND STONE), dead cells, delta V, dysmantle-- too many to name. so yea... i have no problem not buying a AAA game for $70+
