Gamer says 2026 may be first year without buying a new game

Original: 2026 might become the first year I don't buy a new game. The only game released this year that interested me is Pragmata

A gamer says 2026 could be the first year they buy no new releases, arguing that nothing this year has caught their interest except Capcom's Pragmata, which they plan to buy later. They note last year was similarly thin, saved only by Unbeatable, though they expect next year to be better.

Why now: Players are voicing frustration that recent game release lineups feel unappealing, a common talking point whenever release calendars look weak.
