Making a Game Purchase Decision

Buying video games is a luxury. There’s no other way to put it, because not buying a video game won’t have any negative impact in your life, apart from the fear of missing out. It is exactly this FOMO that publishers use to try and hype up the launch of their games, because all of them know that customers have way more choice today than they did in the old days, and even franchises like Call of Duty can see a dip in sales if they get a bad review at launch. That is why publishers use FOMO to try and get as many people as possible to pre-order the game or at least buy it at full price on day one. And to be honest, a lot of us have games that we would definitely buy on day one, no matter what the reviews say, because we are emotionally attached to them.
