Steam is brilliant I will agree, however I'm very surprised to hear how well COD4 is selling considering how outrageously priced it is on Steam.
Activision went and fixed the price to $70 for European users, not including tax or debit card charges either, the price comes to at least £40 afterwards which is absurd for a PC game in the UK.
No idea how the pricing for it is in the US though, but other than that publishers usually have it spot on with Steam prices. |
Yeah...there's no problem in the US...games are always cheaper on Steam...if only by the few dollars saved on tax.
Some other price benefits of Steam:
-Package deals, such as the entire Unreal collection for $60, great deals on Source packages, etc.
-When the price drops on a game, Steam is almost always the first to get the drop...I believe Company of Heroes is $20 on Steam but still $30 or $40 in most retail locations. |
Yeah. Bioshock PC version also dropped down to $30 on Steam almost a full week before it did at retailers. Steam offers tons of advantages, and great temporary deals like Prey for $5.
