    This is how much it really costs to play games in South Africa today.

    I didn't pre-order any of these games, because i cannot justify that price. I will wait for the specials to bring down the price.

    How do you know they're best when they're not out yet, or don't even have reviews out?

    Except... you can't buy Mafia III on Steam - there's no pricing on it currently.

    +1. Even during the steam sales I hardly buy anymore as my backlog takes forever to play through.

    If you bought every one of those games on CDKeys.com:

    Mafia III - €31.79
    Gears 4 - €53.99 (actually an XB1 game)
    Battlefield 1 - €39.79
    Titanfall 2 - €38.99
    Civ 6 - €38.39

    Total: €202.95, or R3124.82 at the current exchange.

    That's R1470 less than the article's price of R4595, and shows the benefit of being able to buy PC games at a variety of online stores.

    =============

    My month cost me R400 for F1 2016, R600 for FIFA 17 and another R600 for a Civ 6 preorder. Pretty good value imo. Basically a game extra compared to what console games would cost me.
