When pay is basically non existent is there a reason to be on spotify? Or is it for “exposure” in hopes of finding new fans.

Isn’t that what sale is with it being sporadic? Retail price is for people who can’t wait for sales and need it now.

Not sure how retail price would be used. Permanent price drops are rare for pretty every purchasable good out there beyond digital games with companies saying something is X% off leading to more purchasing with consumers thinking they are getting a deal.

Publishers I believe are also the ones with power to fill the market with Steam keys to then have it priced however they want and including them in bundles that are sometimes less than the price of just the game alone during a sale. Some publishers opt to not make steam keys available at all.

As consumer it’s just unusual to see accusations of price fixing, since I can so easily get steam keys for cheaper. And only times I usually go buy direct from Steam these days is if a company doesn’t offer steam keys, so the only way to buy a steam copy is through steam. And prices for games feel like they’ve been so cheap that it’s the one thing I have no complaints about.

I enjoyed the first game. Didn’t really like the other entries, but the first once did a great job with the soundtrack and a vibe that made things feel nostalgic.

Games like Risk of Rain Returns is selling cheaper than it’s ever been on Steam. I use isthereanydeals often to check current and historical pricing before buying a game.

Feel like that is never actually enforced with my frequent use of isthereanydeals to check current and historical pricing before buying a game.

I wonder what would be said if isthereanydeals is pulled up as evidence, and shows games listed cheaper than steam on other stores. Pretty much reason a majority of my Steam games have been bought outside of the Steam stores, since I’m able to consistently get the games cheaper with better earlier discounts.

Is it listed retail price that is being talked about as opposed to sale price?

Yeah, from my experience anything marked playable has been pretty flawless. Found I actually enjoyed the PS3 games more than I did the PS4 ones reminding me of why it is my favorite Sony console.

This awesome. I actually do have a copy of the PS3 copy of the Jak and Daxter collection, but I’m too lazy to hook up my PS3.

I uninstalled chrome. Stopped logging into YouTube. And moved to freetube on desktop. Newpipe on Android.

Secret sequel to Bully.

I have the steam deck. I’m asking about a dock.

I’ve wondered if it would be worth getting a dock to hook it up to my second monitor in desktop mode for just web browsing and watching videos.

But it’s $1600 Apple. Not the cheapest Mac book air.

Been great for using my Playstation and Nintendo controllers.

It won’t be released on PC for many more years because the double dipping strategy has worked for the past three Rockstar titles.

I have no trust in Bioware with last game of theirs I bothered to get being Mass Effect 3, and being highly skeptical of Andromeda even before the memes over the launch bugs.

It doesn’t. But, doesn’t excuse parental responsibility either, since they are the one with the final deciding factor. Especially over monetary access.

They are the one that controls finances in the household and what their kids own.

I’d go for high fps but same resolution. There’s some rhythm games that benefit from higher frames with it mostly being just scrolling notes so run on potatoes.

They’ll probably think we didn’t have enough DLCs and microtransactions to make people happy, and out DRM needs to be more intrusive to improve our sales.
