Since steam has been out it has been easier for me to get my games cheaper, find the games i want, find all relevant info on said games, and easier to purchase and download. The last few retail games i have bought (for my xbox and wii) sometimes i had to go to more than one store to find, and they all cost more than any of my steam purchases. The main advantage to digital is that it cuts a lot of cost out of a game. Making it easier to sell games cheaper, or for a game company to turn a profit. the only downside i have found is that you can not resell games used, which i never did as i did not have the time. ____________________________ I love how Steam fans/users exaggerate the truth. New retail released games on Steam are the same $50 - $60 that they are on consoles. Please don't exaggerate please. |
Where did i exagerate? That bolded sentace seems pretty simple. Its easier to find my games cheaper on steam than in a retail store(steam has a sale in the middle of every week, on weekends, on big holidays, over the summer, over spring break, over christmas break). I can also find out more info on said games at the very same spot. even other users opionoins. I tend to buy games over the christmas sale where they are 5-15 dollars a game.
SvennoJ: I have bought 0 games at 50 or 60 from steam(and only 1 or 2 at full retail price on disk, i prefer to buy used or on sale). I always wait for some kind of price drop/sale. So far the only game i have wanted but did not get is Skyrim. that is because it launched at 60 retail on pc instead of the standard 50. I dont want to support game prices going any higher so i will wait for it to go on sale also or buy it used.
