Then why are there so many sales on Steam? Why are retail sales for PC games so low compared to console games? Why are PC gamers often treated as second rate citizens by third party developers/publishers?


Why do we have Black Friday, in the UK we have January sales and so on does that mean we all don't buy anything at full price? No, it's a once in a while treat.

No on buys PC games at retail because platforms like Steam exist this is a silly question to even ask it's like asking why doesn't anyone use floppy disks, have you ever gamed on PC and know the hassle Steam cuts out from retail games, all your back log on one platform and account. No need to enter key codes, look for patches from the developer and all that rubbish to top it off they can't be returned at retail.

You do realize you can buy digital games on consoles right? How come retail sales are higher than digital sales then (conso:les)?
