    You think Steam games won’t follow console prices?

    I can currently get AC Shadows (just an example of a new game, I don’t want it) on PS5 (physical) for a few £ less than it is on Steam. They’ve gone from like £40 a few years ago to £60. As standard.

      gg.deals

      New steam games may have $80 price tags at some point, but most of them will end up on that site for a fraction of the price after some time. Nintendo titles might go down to $70 after a decade.

        Ah c’mon man, that’s just not true.

        Nintendo games will be $90 after a decade.

        Steam games do go on sale eventually, but the best deals are often not even on Steam any more. I’ve got like >1000 games on Steam but most are from Humble Bundle before they went to complete shit.

          That’s true. I should’ve specified i use gg.deals to look for sales from 3rd party websites. Green man gaming is a pretty good one that often has $5-$10 off of new titles.
