So I've seen a lot of threads recently about the best deal you've ever gotten when buying a video game, but I've never seen a thread about the opposite.
So tell me, Escapists: What is the worst deal you ever got on a video game? Did you pay double what you should have for a special edition of a crappy game? Did you find it for $50, buy it, and then see it for $20 elsewhere? Share it here!
For me, I bought Borderlands: GOTY on Steam for $25 (it was on sale from $50) in November or December of last year. I thought it was a great deal, since it comes with the base game and all the DLC, not to mention the Duke Nukem Forever First-Access Club key! So I bought it, played it for a little while, and then saw that the base price had been chopped down, and it was on sale for less than ten dollars.
