You think Steam games won’t follow console prices?
I can currently get AC Shadows (just an example of a new game, I don’t want it) on PS5 (physical) for a few £ less than it is on Steam. They’ve gone from like £40 a few years ago to £60. As standard.
If you don’t need the latest and greatest games and can wait a bit, you get a shit-ton of games on PC (including AAA Games) for la few bucks. Have a look at Humble Choice for example, Steam Sales, Bundles, other legit/official key retailers etc. I mean, fuck Epic but one could solely feed his gaming needs with all the free games they give away constantly.
Yeah, if you’re the sort of gamer who sells their games when they’re done with them, you can basically rent Nintendo games for the cost of postage and eBay fees… Second hand they’re only a few quid less than in the shops.

New steam games may have $80 price tags at some point, but most of them will end up on that site for a fraction of the price after some time. Nintendo titles might go down to $70 after a decade.
Ah c’mon man, that’s just not true.
Nintendo games will be $90 after a decade.
Steam games do go on sale eventually, but the best deals are often not even on Steam any more. I’ve got like >1000 games on Steam but most are from Humble Bundle before they went to complete shit.
That’s true. I should’ve specified i use gg.deals to look for sales from 3rd party websites. Green man gaming is a pretty good one that often has $5-$10 off of new titles.
