I only buy games on steam when they’re like $5 or less.

I have less than $200 spent in total over the last 16/17 years on steam, and I don’t see myself breaking the $5 limit.

I even pay GOG non sale prices if a steam sale jogs my memory of a game I want.

Sailing the high seas isn’t feasible right now since I don’t control the internet here and I’m not going to risk me not knowing something and landing the owner with potential legal trouble. But I will hopefully be dusting my hat off soon.
