<$5 maybe

I'm sort of at the point where I just ignore sales though. If I intend to play a game immediately, I'll buy it regardless of the price. If I won't play it immediately, I don't buy it.

If it's something I really want, under 20 bucks

Depends what game it is and how interested I am in it.

But my inertia when it comes to starting new things is so bad that if I'm "only sort of" interested in a game, as the poll claims, then even if it's free I probably won't try it on impulse.

It kinda depends on the game, my impulse buy expectations can fluctuate based on it. But I'd probably say roughly $10.

Yeah, depends on the game for me too. It also depends on a few other variables, one of which is "Nintendo."

Really depends on the original price. A $60 on sale for $15 is gonna have a different reaction from me than a $20 on sale for $15.

yeah it depends on original price

I just bought GTA5 because it was 15 but there's games i'm probably more interested in that are at that price regularly that I haven't yet acted on

I don't impulse buy anything. All my purchases are meticulously considered.

Ain't that the truth. It's the time that I don't have at this point.

$5 is about the price where I'll just chuck it in with other things I want in a Fanatical bundle, so I voted that.

Yeah like $10 or less...I own wayyyy too many games I haven't gotten to, not to mention the entire libraries on PS Plus Extra and Game Pass. Those also have a ton of games I want to play but haven't gotten around to.

Then the games I do impulse buy at that price just go on my backlog and I never get around to them either!
