PC makes up "approximately" half of all sales while other platforms share the rest.

The fact they went back and added Denuvo to old games. Makes them a No Buy for me. Clearly cant be trusted.

Added them to old games that didn’t have them before? What would be the point in that? Once it’s cracked, the toothpaste can’t be put back in the tube.

The fact that it’s on Steam is a no go for me, unfortunately.

Edit: I’m choosing not to spend money on an American platform. I don’t care if Steam is “one of the good ones.”

Why stop there when you could boycott all American inventions. Course that would mean getting off the internet, throwing out your smartphone, getting rid of your car, and not flying anywhere ever. Show that true Canadian frontiersmen spirit and go move to the fucking woods and live in a log cabin without power, cause we invented that shit too.

Or, you know, get a fucking grip and learn to take a joke.

Man, what is it like to gobble on three nutbags? Putin, Netanyahu, and Trump. Seriously a mouthful. Maybe if you gobble hard enough you’ll get to diddle a teen like your dear leader.

Aww, so salty your country contributes fuck all and only exists off America’s abundance. Enjoy using all of our inventions to cry like a baby about it

Because Americans have threatened to make Canada its state, plus all the other bullshit they have been doing around the world to allies.

It’s an American company thriving under a government I don’t agree with. Their taxes enrich the government. It’s the only way I can resist as a single human being.

Honestly, though, it just makes me feel good about myself because I obviously know I alone can’t make any difference.

Should be illegal to do post launch or be refunded no questions asked.

I got a refund when it was added to Ghostwire Tokyo. Fuck Denuvo and the scum companies that use it.

I think steam support does offer refunds in those instances where the terms of sale were changed on you when mentioned in a ticket (see Helldivers and newer COD games)

I remember hearing this about the Monster Hunter games a few years ago, so it isn’t surprising to hear it holds true for their other franchises, as well. That said, it would be nice if they focused a bit more resources on optimizing the games for their new primary platform.

I was curious about street fighter games again, then I saw the price tag… and the 90% discounts whenever they apply them…

I’d never ever buy a game that offers 50-90% discounts. I assume it’s a nothing more then a cashgrab

bye Capcom… you were fun in the past, and that’s where you shall stay.

What an odd take.

I’ve never seen an Indy dev have 90% off, and 80 DLCs… only aaaaa slop does this.

hence my discount comment. high discount = red flag on game is either dead, abandoned, or about to be replaced with the copypaste+1 title of the game.

I’m not knocking sales, just aaaaaaa crap sales since they almost always use 50-90% whereas indy devs seem to be 10-30%.

Lol ok. That’s some dumb reasoning not to play a good game. I guess you never play anything old, and prefer to get ripped off? And when you finally can get the games at a good value, you snub your nose, assuming something has to be wrong with it to be that cheap? You’re doing a ton of mental gymnastics for no reason.

Publishers often give steep discounts on the older games in a property to generate hype and sales before a new entry is released.

I never played dead rising when it originally came out. I picked up the first one for 95% off when the remake came out. It ended up being one of my favorite games. If I used your logic, I’d overspend on everything, and I’d never find games I missed like that.

I play old games because I already own them… I don’t buy remade remakes of the remastered edition at 90% off.

Isn’t the point of modern fighting games to get you to buy the dlc which never has as good sales as the regular game. Like they need you to have the game so that you can spend more than you paid for the game for the meta characters

Im from. the times when you just playedthe game to unlock things, not paid more to unlock access to it.

I’m just fed up and done with these studios and I refuse to give them any leeway or breaks anymore

they purposely cripple their products to attempt to extract more from the end user, so I purposely voice my opinion on why they are horrible games from horrible companies.

What’s the age of the game? 75-90% discounts on steam aren’t uncommon for games more than 5-10 years old.

Yeah it’s veeeery flawed logic for steam. Most people don’t buy games unless they’re on sale, and the only way to make the sales attractive over a long time is to keep raising the discount
