I will make it work by not buying games at 80 usd.

Randy Pitchford shoots water bottles at his landscapers with a t-shirt gun.

I'm sorry but that's just not at all what he said. He said "If you really want it, you'll find a way to make it work."

If you don't complain when it's €60, you don't have to buy it on day one. Take a month or two, or a year, to save up 20 extra and buy it when you're comfortable.

You'll have known about this game for over a year now, if it's that important to you you've had a year to save up.

And if you're struggling to make ends meet to the point that you can't really afford video games, maybe wait for when it gets hugely discounted.

These are all ways of making it work. The end result is the same, you'll have played the game.
