Not sure why, steam prices in Aus are the same as the US, they are even listed in USD. With the AUD buying 0.72USD at the moment, a $US59 game becomes $82. For some reason, in Aus retail most new games come out in the $AU69-79 range, really large releases can be found for as low as $64AUD (Battlefront, Fallout 4, those type of large releases). After the initial release they usually go up to $89 for a while, before dropping down to $49 when they get their first big price cut. Once the successor is announced, they usually drop to around $39. Factor in data caps in Aus and our slower internet speeds, and steam is almost never cheaper than console pricing on game release.

Steam is cheaper once the game reaches a steam sale, but its not like PSN or XB Live don't have sales, so the price parity remains the same. 



For me it's a different story and India as far as things go.

Also I find Steam sales to still be the better sales though with GoG being a close second in the industry.

No link? *Edit - nevermind. Finally saw those tweets. He should quit his bitching because PC gets plenty of games/exclusives that consoles don't.  It's just part of gaming. 

 

Here here.  He could have made a valid point if he included another major culprit pc but instead his through colors have shone through.  It's just a biased rant for his platform of choice.  

I don't know why you can't just come out and say you lothe the platform with every fiber of your being =P, it's clear you hate it as much as the other few on here that you'll use another platform to downplay PC and yet you'll try backing it up with one guy out of 7 billion on this planet.

If PC talk or gaming bothers you so much why get involved?, why even try downplaying it if it bothers you so?, I mean when you joined you didn't talk zip about mobile gaming or how you loved it more than your VIta (because as far as I can see you really love your vita over IOS/Android any day), as soon as Basil made mention of PC (A platform you clearly don't have any interest in since you call all the platform's games "chinese" out of spite and just don't like at all) with Final Fantasy and then all of a sudden you bring in mobile talk to shut his opinion down even when he tried backing it up with evidence and ever since then you've been using mobile gaming vs PC gaming as a thing on purpose. See I'm not attacking you or anyone else here but it's been made very clear to me and others on this forumt hat you seek to attack a verey small group on ehre for personal reasons, I suggest you cease doing so before things get worse, if you hate PC gaming and us users then simply don't bother making jabs and just ignore us, making side jabs even without talking directly to some of us still means you show personal disliking towards us which in turn ruffles feathers and makes the community rather unwelcoming (you claim you left Gaf and tell us what happened to your status, it doesn't surprise me as to why the more time goes on).

If you want to talk about this on a personal level just drop me message and we can discuss, I'm more than happy to talk about these issues that bother you without the need to slag or fling jabs.

wtf is a total biscuit? and why should we care?



Unless it's something like prime rib or chateaubriand, cooking a steak on anything other than a grill is a crime against nature.

Anyone know exactly what console exclusive has got his panties in a knot anyway?

 

Aye it was about the deal Kojima was making with Sony with his new... as of these tweets unnamed studios first game going to be a PS4 exclusive, like you've said tho... the guy doesn't have a whole lot of time left on Earth, Honestly it wouldn't matter if it came out as an N-Gage exclusive, it will be either out after he has passed or when he is in need of sedatives to the point he won't be able to enjoy the game when it does come out.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

Like it or not exclusives are what drive competition, their nature usually leads to the title pushing the hardware while aiming for the highest possible output of quality, I'm glad they're around and most of the time the best games are the exclusive ones for this very reason.

I like Mr. Bain especially for his contribution to the SC2 scene but the counter to his analogy is that steak can't be exclusive to a restaurant only a recipe and every other restaurant can do their own steak when it comes down to it.



If people are happy playing on a particular platform of there choice, leave them to it, it does not make them a sucker at all, some people dont have time to own more than one console platform.

What the heck is he famous for? And isn't he dying?

 


He's famous for being unwaveringly objective and unbiased. He is also incredibly intelligent and has called out the industry on many faults. He is most famous for opposing SOPA, I would reckon. And he has Cancer? Dying, depends on how you look at it. Isn't everyone dying? 

 

Yeah, read the thread. At the time, I only remembered his name from a thread about him being terminal. Before that I never even heard of the guy. He seems pretty respected. Guess I should check out his work.

,.... Now, what's SOPA!?!

Don't know the exact details but it was some kind of law or regulation that at one point was in consideration or trying to be passed in the US that would have made streaming and uploading videos more of an issue for people.
