Reader Discussion: What’s The Most Times You’ve Purchased The Same Game?
Today we learned that Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition won’t be coming to PC, and that console users won’t be getting a break on the new version. If you want to play the Xbox One or PlayStation 4 version of that game, you’ll be paying full retail price ($60).
Of course, Square Enix isn’t alone. Many publishers have compiled their classic titles into HD collections, re-released them alone on digital platforms, and bundled them for “Game of the Year” editions.
We’re curious about your buying habits. Do you buy re-released versions of games? If so, what factors contribute to your decision? Is it the convenience of playing the titles via Xbox Live, PSN, or the eShop? Do the visual upgrades make the difference? Do you avoid them altogether?
Let us know in the comments. Don’t worry, we won’t judge if you’ve purchased Super Mario Bros. 3, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, or Minecraft on every platform they’ve ever graced.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
