Check out the Sega stuff on Steam today. Yet another way for them to get more of my money.
|
Why are the games on steam so expensive? You don't get a physical copy, manual, case, or shelf space in a store so shouldn't it start off at 40$ or something. Or is all that just extra profit now that they don't have to actually give you anything physical?
|
They're MSRP, usually. I believe it's because that's what the publisher wants to charge. It's probably not Steam's fault. Also, there's the convenience of not having to keep discs, though I don't think that's really factored into the price. I think Valve uses up a lot of bandwidth and there's probably a lot of server overhead.
Plus, most PC games start at $50 usually, anyway. And the sales on Steam are very righteous. |
In Europe, Steam directly converts $ to € which has pissed a lot of people off. $50.00 = ~€40.00 currently but it was a lot worse earlier this year.
|
They wanted 50€ for Dawn of War 2...I think they still do...not acceptable if you ask me. Downloadgames HAVE to be cheaper than Disc-Versions, especially if you have to be online to play them, something the Publishers like to try out right now as it seems.
Still, I got quite some games from Steam but only cheap stuff. |
Yeah, I forget that the Eur. gets shafted on a lot with their stupid currency not being converted. :(

I think so, yeah, Example: Alpha Protocol costs 49,99€ here.
Now, I can´t look up the US-Price right now but surely one of you can, stupid Geo-mumbojumbo-schnickschnack. |
On console its $59.99 on PC its $49.99.
|
Yeah Dimnos, it's a ridiculous system that has not been changed to this day. I don't even live in Europe and it pisses me off.
Just started Metro 2033 and Call of Juarez 2 and I am intrigued. Call of Juarez 2 is honestly the most un-American game I have ever played. Not to mention, racist. |
lol if that was the same system in mexico it would fucking rock
|
Playing Demon's Souls. Fuck wolves.

Im sorry BTC. :(
|
(LIGHTNING)+(ALL)=DISC 2 IN 10 HOURS
|
Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker.
Pretty cool. Waaay better than Portable Ops. Controls frustrate me though. Thanks for the one analog nub, Sony. |
I'm going to attempt to play Crysis today, I hope my PC will run it.
UPDATE: Wow, Crysis runs at like 40fps constantly on my PC. My parts are all about 2 years old too. :D |

I wish more than two whole people in the world still played PSP games. I want to try versus and co-op. That Love Box I have will never get fully used :( |

Love that game though. I'm still hoping for a HD remake. Who are you using? |

lol it's too bad that Crysis is so boring. It's so fucking hard that you can barely progress and your suit needs some new batteries every 3 seconds.
|
I didn't really care for it either. :( Playing on an island is fun though. I wish Far Cry 3 was on an island.
