Im on steam now.. and the only game that was 60 bucks was MW2, and it sits at 50 now. Most new games on here (steam), and future releases is within $29-$49. Atleast the top tier games like BFBC, Metro 2033, C&C4, Borderlands etc.

But i agree.. no PC game should be $60 on Steam, or any other DD service. And piracy, atleast for me, is only because the game isnt worth the price, but im bored and i want something to play and kill a few hours. But i dont have any problem spending cash on minigames or games that i feel justify their pricetag.

if they put the majority of games for the pc at 60 pc gaming would be dead already. the reason they dont do that is cause there are alot of mods to older games like HL2 which by the way left for dead is a mod somewhat and is running off of that engine. TF2 is also running off the same engine. alot of the FPS games runs off of what half life 2 did when it first came out so many years ago. so to charge that much for pc games you would be asking for pirating to get worse then it already is. just ask adobe how their efforts to keep from being pirated is going. their stuff is expensive as everything. MW2 wont jump in pc sales till it hits about 20-30 dollars or is in the discount section at target or walmart. more or less target. walmart likes to keep old popular games a long time at high prices. they were still selling MW for 50 when MW2 came out. but yet i paid 40 for it at gamestop a year after it was out.

 

what makes me mad is people like you saying they shoudl charge that price for alot of game or even on steam. that is exactly why there is pirating. i take it you buy your music still via cd at $20 a cd too huh??

Say what? I dont want high priced games? Am i missing something?
