You don’t game much on PC, do you? This is pretty objectively incorrect.

Yeah, thanks to having multiple storefronts competing for digital purchases, plus infinitely more indie games that are priced appropriately, software is cheaper on PC. But at launch, no, there is not a 33% advantage towards PC. On some occasions you might have a cheaper PC version because there is no physical version or retail chunk added on, but that’s rare. A vast majority of the time, a $60 game at launch is $60 regardless of platform.

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 know you aren’t limited to Steam, hence the competing for digital purchases part. But if you’re talking about sales or specials you can always find those for consoles as well. He said they’re $40 and $60 though, factually, meaning MSRP. That’s incorrect. Hell, I can get any game new day one for $48 at Best Buy, doesn’t change that the game released at $60.
