Now that im an adult and have disposable funds for my hobbies, I always buy games that im into, especially single player rpg's.
As someone who works in the tech industry, I wanna support the devs, especially indie ones, who make games for my enjoyment.
If you cant afford to buy the latest games, just wait for the steam sales, or check out whats being handed out for free at Epic games every other week.
I dunno if its available in the ph, but Xbox Game Pass is also a great way to get new games. You'll have an entire library of games available and also have dibs on some day 1 release games.
You really can get a lot of new games even if you dont dip your toes in seven seas.
