    Price!

    We can argue about it all we want, but basically everything hinges on its street price.

    If it’s cheap, all those critiques are irrelevant.

    Expensive? “It’s cute, I like Steam, I like how it mostly works OOTB,” gets real niche, real quick.

      I downvote all these memes because they want to shit over a product that isn’t released yet with no price tag, all so they can feel smug superiority

      Regardless of the box cost, there’s no arguing with the price of games in a Steam sale!

      I don’t think I’ve paid more than £15 for a game in years and years.

        Unfortunately, not everyone has the cash to spend up front. Paying more over time is easier.

        Or they just get lured in by a cheap sticker price.

        And again, price is still relevant. If this is well over $1K, it starts to negate the Steam storefront cost savings.

          Fair enough. If they’re cash poor, grabbing one of those cheap games consoles is a good plan. 😟
