Bro there's been games for $0.02 on here and people ask if it's worth it.

u/Internetolocutor Mar 13 '25

Yes but if you don't give me your two cents on the game how can I afford the two cents

The rational of someone with no cents

Honestly wasn't worth it. I played for 10 minutes and turned it off. I wouldn't call it wasted money but I couldn't recommend anyone try it.

I hope you got your refund

u/Forbidennectar Mar 14 '25

I call those a waste of space. Insta-delete.

I remember it was fun when I was younger but I don't trust young me

My rule of worth is 1 hour for every dollar spent. So it would seem like you got a hell of a steal for 2 cents for a whole ten minutes

1

u/Sic_Semper_T_Rex_ Mar 15 '25

Yeah I definitely think of most games like this too. But I definitely feel there is a minimum threshold of like 4 hours.

u/PogTuber Mar 15 '25

Dunno how old you are but you really start to appreciate your time more as you get older. At some point your time is worth more than that price per hour and even if something is very cheap it's just not worth the time to play it for that ten minutes.

BUT in general it's a fair rule to live by when it comes to figuring out how you want to spend your money.

u/DerBernd123 Mar 16 '25

Well if he turned it off afterwards I doubt he enjoyed those 10 minutes

I felt ripped off after trying to play. Can’t even start a game without another player in the lobby

u/Snake10133 Mar 14 '25

Eh, maybe next paycheck I can afford it

u/SpicyTortiIla [#22] Mar 14 '25

Saving up for it, gonna get it as a birthday present to myself

u/weebitofaban Mar 14 '25

Trash. They fucked one of my favorite franchises here.

u/DenverBronco305 Mar 16 '25

That game was decent 20 years ago

u/TimeforMK9 Mar 13 '25

That game that was $0.02 literally was not worth it though. If a game is that bad, forget about the money, it’s not worth your TIME. Which is, frankly, also money.

IIRC the Switch eShop had, at least at one point, a case of companies putting their games on sale for $0.01 to drive up their popularity so they would make more sales. Not sure if the PS Store had a similar problem as I tend to stay clear of that type of shovelware.

u/Balmong7 PS5 Mar 15 '25

Supposedly this game was made free to play for every other platform but because of a weird Sony license deal they couldn’t make it free so they just made it as cheap as they were allowed to which was 2 cents.

u/CHUNGUS-MONEY Mar 13 '25

I got a frog game for i think 6 cents and it was pretty damn good

12

u/buzz8588 Mar 13 '25

Some of those games are not worth it even for free

6

u/bens111 Mar 13 '25

People ask this about the free monthly download to library lol

2

u/12InchPickle Mar 13 '25 edited Mar 16 '25

To be fair it’s not about the money. It’s the time. To many that’s time they have to spend downloading. Maybe their internet isn’t good and it’ll take all day. Or the act of committing to the game itself. Time wasted if it sucks. Heck many have data caps.

2

u/baggyzed Mar 14 '25

That's because $1 or below games are usually not worth it.

1

u/yuval16432 Mar 13 '25

The time you spent asking that question is more expensive than just buying the game

1

u/25sittinon25cents Mar 13 '25

I don't get why people even upvote those posts.

1

u/angelomoxley Mar 14 '25

I would hold out for cheaper.

1

u/maru-senn Mar 14 '25

Tbf there's a point in which the sale price is low enough for that to be a legitimate question.

1

u/NachoChedda24 Mar 14 '25

Wait.. I thought the $0.02 post was about whether the price was legit or some kind of error.

1

u/Niskara Mar 14 '25

Tbf, the money might not be the issue, but rather the time. Money you can get back, time you cannot. And I've definitely played games I've gotten for free and still feel ripped off

u/ZappySnap PS5 Mar 14 '25

Some people worry about the three free PS+ games. Like, I claim them all even if I know there’s a 99% chance I’ll never play it, because you never know and you don’t have to install after.

u/VikingFuneral- Mar 15 '25

Some people don't have the money for their hobbies freely, even when working full time with a partner also working full time

Economy these days is fucked.

But also; When it isn't a financial issue, one's limited free time is valuable too, so sometimes you really just want to know if it is worth the time downloading and playing, nothing wrong with that

Oh I remember that one, the Destroy All Humans post of yesterday. 😅
