Not anymore. Gave 2 copies to friends of mine. I just wanted to support Bethesda for bringing these great games to the Switch.

Whats the story behind 3xDoom and Life is Strange on PS4/Xbox ?
I guess you know a lot about the users financial situation for such a statement.
...and there it is.

There's your problem. Stop being loyal to brands, they don't care about you and you'll only end up worse off.
That's... actually cool. As long as you have the money to do it and you feel cool doing it that's nice. I ended up buying 4 copies od Skullgirls to give to my friends to play. It was 8 dollars at the sales so that's nice.
probably shouldnt buy multiple copies of games, that would drop the spending by about 120$ per release at MSRP
buying one copy is supporting the developer
if KH3 came out right now i would buy like the collectors edition and maybe a standard if the box was different or if there was a steelbook difference or something, and thats my most anticipated title of all time

I already posted the Doom story. And I wanted Life is Strange 2 times because I don't open the other copy. It will be worth some money in a couple of years.
It really isn't hard to see why you spend so much money. Very nice of you but c'mon man, stop being a sucker with this outlook.
I don't need to know his financial situation to know that what he's doing is not good for his money. And what's with the "and there it is"?
You can buy a hundred copies, it won't make a difference.

I still have one unopened copy of Doom. I own it digitally too ;)
This. They don't care about you, they're not your buddy. They want your money.
LiS will be worth money in a couple of years ?
Why would that be the case ? Also i wouldnt buy game for that reason...especially PS/XBX game never really up much in value because publishers ship so many units of these games. Add the fact that you can get it on every Steam sale for less than 5 bucks.
LiS is an amazing series though.
I can relate, my Xbox game collection is getting close to a thousand different games, and that's only my most prolific console family. November was a big spender for me, since I paid for the Xbox One X that I pre-ordered in August (plus Forza 7 and AC: Origins) and finally pulled the trigger on the Switch (plus Mario Kart 8). It's my major hobby as far as spending goes, and while there are months I barely spend anything besides subscriptions or a couple digital smallies from some sale, there are times I end up spending a considerable percentage of my income on gaming alone. But hey, I don't drink much, don't go out too often, etc., so I can spend on something I guess, lol.
I'm limited to two games a month (at new full retail price) due to being an adult.
However that's still actually better than waiting for Christmas or birthdays as a child. I just find it hard picking what to buy each month, especially after stellar years like 2017 where it seemed there were great games released every month. I've only just got Resident Evil 7, and still to pick up Nier or
Nioh.
Plus I like to bump up the older games collections like GameCube titles or whatnot and I'm a sucker for physical games so also set about getting limited indie games I'm interested in (Broken Age arrived today, Retro City Rampage DX is on route).
Basically I think I answered correctly... I definitely spend way to much on games and it often impacts my social activity for the month till the next pay slip arrives. My wife and I are more than comfortable, we just give ourselves money each month to do as we wish with (social stuff, games, if birthdays come up presents for each other etc) but my "allowance" is usually gone within a few days of getting it due to buying games.

To be clear, the reason I buy some games 2 times is because I want some special ones unopened.
And as long as i have enough money, all is good ;)

I know it's not my business and people should be free to spend money however the want.
But there is nothing wrong with the OP just as long as the OP is financially secure, owns a home and has some savings.
If the OP is living on rent or isn't as secure financially then I'd say well damn

More like Nintendo became commercially relevant so I found an additionally 80 hours to play games a year and buy multiple copies of the same game because Nintendo.
Their are other consoles and handheld games to play that aren't by Nintendo and have been for decades, you seriously just now found the time to use a portable?

These are the Collector Editions of LiS with Soundtrack and other stuff.
Why not support yourself by looking over your own finances instead of game companies that don't care about you besides profiting on you...?
Nintendo and Bethesda will do just fine without you wasting your money

I have enough money. And I want as many good games on Switch as possible.
Thought it was going to be an interesting thread about buying addictions but it's just another "thanks Nintendo for helping rediscover gaming."
I've become price sensitive now compared to when I'd spend money on full priced games.

That picture looks delicious although 3X Doom seems a little overkill for me lol. Anyway, yeah the Switch is a perfect device for people that have busy schedules and not so much time on their hands. I usually play mine at work with colleagues (FIFA, Street Fighter) or an hour in bed before going to sleep. In the weekends I get a little TV time and dock it. Its also fun to play bed co op with my wife. 40 hours on overcooked and we 3 starred everything. Now I can't wait for Kirby, which is a franchise I never play or am interested in, but the co op aspect just makes it the perfect game to play with my wife.
For just a very brief moment I thought that there was a FF XII Switch version. Goddamn....
Also, seeing Street Fighter...do you plan on buying the 30th Anniversary Collection?

Right, but only 3 copies ain't gonna help though.
(Next time when you're feeling generous, donate money to some greater cause, like a charity instead of companies, just my two cents.)
No, billion dollar corporations need to be coddled at every turn

OP
The world will never be a better place if you think one human being can't make a difference.
And btw, I give money to charity (animal shelters too).
I just love animals, games, life and (good) people.
This OP as a whole is weird. It has everything. Humble brag, underlying cry for help, corporate fanboyism.
Buying three copies of Doom is a way bigger expense for you than it is a gain for Bethesda. I doubt they even notice.
