I admit, I'd accept it into my library for $5.

Wait, you mean I pay THEM?!? I meant the other way around. Them giving
me five dollars for the burden of owning that game is the minimum
price I'd accept!*

According to SteamDB, the lowest price DNF ever went for (not
including in bundles like this, obviously) was $2.99. It's regular
price remains stuck at $19.99 with occassional drops to $3.99 (all
values in USD). Randy Pitchford and Gearbox have some big cajones,
selling it for that price.

Remember when really old, really shitty games ended up in the bargain
bin? Those were the days.

















* In truth, I actually paid for this game. Full price, too. Day One.
With DVD and everything. And I've played the game multiple times. If
you've ever wondered, "Why is Spalls like that?", well now you know.
It's the trauma of DNF spilling through. Gearbox owes me big-time ;-)
