I bought the outer worlds for $10 on a steam summer sale. The original list price and the price a customer pays tends to be much lower on PC (many wishlist and wait), and piracy is an option.

How's Brazilian regional pricing doing so far? I heard some countries are getting the short end of the stick now because of some users VPN routing to another country for deals.

I'm referring to that consoles can set the price period. You don't have another marketplace (except for the used physical market, if you console supports it) to acquire first or third party games. Therefore, those who own the market can set the price as high as they'd like.

I remember when console prices were standardized at 60 USD during the 7th generation. On steam I've never paid more than 40, with the majority of my library costing under 20.

California? You need to tell me your dealer, because I'd like to have an ounce of what you're smoking. At least we give our citizens healthcare.

Consoles are a walled garden - the only reason they can do what they do is because of the lack of options for the customer to use their hardware.

PCs are the only gaming platform (apart from perhaps smartphones) that have an open framework untouchable by publishers or game platforms. You don't have to publish with Sony and Microsoft, and the majority don't.

Unless your console has homebrew, you will always be screwed by the platform holder.

I never really trusted any sort of MMORPG that wasnt able to be community hosted with my time. It always ends up being a rugpull.

Edit: For that matter, add survival games/Open world multi-player games without community servers to that statement.
