The thing about Steam though is you don't have to purchase from their store... There are dozens and dozens of retailers who will sell you the exact same game, that activates on Steam, cheaper.

If you ever buy a PC game at full price, then you are doing it wrong.

On console... It's very much a "deal with it" scenario.

I have stacks of games for PS3, Vita, and PS4, that I bought brand new for $20-30. Some as low as $2.50. It's easy to find games at 60-70% off at retail on consoles.

We are talking about digital here. :P

Not always.
There have been many games which have been priced with the full Australian tax here at retail... Yet Steam didn't have the Australian tax applied, the end result was a saving of $40 or more.

You can use www.steamprices.com to keep track of the price movements and even compare regions.

Then you need to account for players like Amazon, Green Man Gaming, Gamersgate, Plethora of key sites and more that also resell Steam keys.
