A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Anyone aware of good (legitimate) spot to get skyrim cheaply other than waiting for a steam sale? the significant other and i would love to run the multiplayer mod and play together but $40 isn't in t (piefed.zeromedia.vip)

EDIT: heck i assumed steam and gog would be the same price right now!!

Original below:

or perhaps i should be asking if it's worth it to wait on the sales?

a lifetime ago, played Morrowind and oblivion for countless hours and have always wondered why i haven't gotten into Skyrim yet! apparently it's so i could share this experience with the wife!

I have had a copy of Skyrim forever now, and she is enjoying life as a khajit!

a far cry from sharing the OG xbox controller (the Duke!) with my little bro, this time around I'm interested in the Multiplayer mod so we could run through all this together.

if it was 15 or 20 bucks on steam I'd go without avacado toast and grab another copy, (/s) but it's currently at $40 and i just don't have the budget to justify that right now. (especially not knowing if the multiplayer works well and stuff.)

i didn't know if there was a secret humble bundle or similar

or like, y'all know that it'll be 12.99 on arbor day

or someone accidentally has extra copies of Skyrim special edition keys they keep tripping over on the way to the bathroom,

does the mod work well?

Thanks in advance, happy gaming!

The GOG version is currenyly 75% off for $10 until tonight. If you don't know, GOG is a non-drm storefront that encourages a "you own your games" philosophy. They're an awesome alternative to Steam and often cheaper too.

I've also played the multiplayer mod, and its very fun and works really well. It does require setting up a server and client(s) so a bit of basic networking is involved, but nothing too crazy

GOG (and other places that aren't steam key resellers) and places that have loyalty discounts are the only real way that you get prices lower than Steam
