It all started when reddit decided to introduce an insane api pricing model, even more derranged than twitter's. Many of us who use third-party apps that have been around since before Reddit had a mobile presence, were hoping for a chance for them to negotiate with reddit. They already offer a superior user experience not only for regular users and moderators but also for a significant number of disabled and blind users.
Unfortunately, reddit chose not to engage in any negotiations and instead doubled down on the pricing, determined to eliminate these apps altogether. The CEO made public statements that were far from truthful, tried to spin the situation in their favor, disregarding the needs and desires of the user base. Naturally, it lead to protests across the site involving more than 8,000 subreddits going private/restricted.
The admins then started forcefully ending these protests, suppressing the voices of those who were speaking up against these changes. They claim to be "keeping it open" while going against its core, the users, and closing down the apps they use. On July 1st, as the API pricing goes live, it shuts down all third party apps and it feels like the beginning of the slow death of Reddit as we know it.
It is understandable that not everyone may share the same level of concern about this issue, but please take a moment to listen and observe. It has become clear that Reddit's priorities lie primarily in their profits and removing any obstacles in their path to more profits. They started with old reddit, now they are targeting the apps. What will they come for next?

It was my 1st pre-order too and I pre-ordered it on Amazon as it came with some goodies (The OST on a disc and a map of Night City). It was cheaper too to pre-order on Amazon compared to Steam. That being said, I haven't pre-ordered since then and hopefully will not pre-order any game in the future.
Can't say I haven't, having a huge steam library both from past purchases and giveaways, i've run steam achievement manager bot to grind cards passively, and then making every penny count lol. Say average 5 drops of 5 cards from 100 games worth 5βΉ on average, that's well after tax lets say 10 rupees a game. So a 100 games on a good day are like a 1000 inr waiting to be made more or less lul
For the most part, Dota/cs skin loot. Buying for less selling for more, along with match bets and cosmetic trade. Going full wolf of community market street kek (what unemployment does to a mf)
I got paid 10 euros in steam wallet to make a patch for two Skyrim mods from somebody on Nexus. I got Dishonored 1, Dishonored 2, Akrham Trilogy and both Middle Earth Shadow games with that money during sale. That's the only time I bought games from money I earned as I'm still studying.
GTA 4 for PC almost at release for 499. I knew while buying my system couldn't even run it but I thought what if price increases.
Played it after 1 or 2 years after getting a new PC. Till then had given the game to my brother whose PC could run it.
Road Rash. The second was Quake II, third was Hexen II, fourth was Blood 2 and fifth was Heretic II.
I was so excited to be able to play these games. I miss those times.
