The value story

The value story

Across all 84 discounts in the 14 years tracked, the median cut is 50 percent, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 4 weeks ago.

Its score sits in the top 1 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 94 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Deus Ex: Game of the Year Edition ($6.99, scores 93) beats it on value, while it beats Vampire: The Masquerade - Redemption ($5.99, scores 75).

$25.36 is where it would stop being a BANGER. It is priced at $19.99.

A goth girl can be your sugar mommy, you can make a girl be your servant and make her dress goth, you can fall in love with a vampire stripper and she sends you poetry through email, you can dance in goth clubs and drink the blood of the patrons.
