| Barozi said: Must be an American phenomenon. In Europe importing games from the UK (PC and consoles) or buying games from the "local" Amazon is far cheaper than anything Steam could offer. Infact standard prices for Steam games are usually more expensive than retail games. Skyrim is 50€ (German Steam store) Amazon.de has it for 41€ TheHut.com has it for 38,64€ (including delivery to EU states) Modern Warfare 3 is 60€ (Steam) Amazon.de has it for 33€ Left 4 Dead is 20€ (Steam) Amazon.de has it for 11,50€ It can even match many of the Steam "deals". |
Steam is for indie games and 75% off sales, the rest of the time it's just not value for money. Especially outside the USA
