There is always a sale on somewhere though on PC.
You aren't strictly limited to Steam.

For instance, I got Civilization back in the day for 50% cheaper than what Steam was offering on launch.
The way I look at it... If you ever buy a PC game at full price, then you are doing it wrong.

In Australia though, even without discounting, PC games are $10-$20 cheaper than the console release.

I was also able to knock off up to £10 for AAA games i nabbed from GMG. Sometimes I'd get a possible $15 knocked off for launch as well.

 

I remember snagging XCOM 2 for £26, when it's original launch price as £35. They even messed up the launch day of giving out the keys, so to make up for it, they gave out codes for 6 games and an added 10% off coupon to use. Hardly any storefront has done something that much for me, simply for messing up a single line of code emailing.
