Games for Povvos: Five Games that might cost less than a carton of eggs
We are currently in an economic crisis worldwide. Massive layoffs and eggs costing upwards of $10 (USD) a carton is the current reality for a lot of people. In the midst of this economic uncertainty, we try to find a little bit of happiness. But, you're broke. You don't have $70 USD and can't afford a new AAA game or the Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Why? Because you're a povvo. And don't worry about being called a povvo. We're all povvos in this capitalist hellscape. This was inspired by popular TikToker Shabaz Says and his tiktok series "I'm rich, you're poor." He hilariously pokes fun at the absurdity of luxury culture. I thought it would be great to help other gamer povvos find joy in amazing games that don't break the bank. Here's a list of games on sale right now you can pick up for less than $10:
