I don’t get it; does it mean Steam is lowering their 30% price commission?

I’m sad at GPU prices
But integrated graphics start to be very interesting.

If you think publishers won’t price their PC games at the same level as well you’re gonna have a bad time.

Why do we pretend GPUs are cheap and new games won’t be the same price?

I hope pc gaming doesn’t die due to prices. It my only hobby in life.

Nintendo is still acting like they are the only handheld in the market. Back in 2017 people were willing to pay 60 bones just for the novelty of portable Skyrim. We got more than a dozen PC handhelds now

Al jokes aside. I got a 2200 bucks costing pc in 2005. And the last game I bought was factorio at 20% discount it was 25 bucks.

You guys think AAA games wont be 80$? Or that prices of components wont go up cuz of tariffs? Im only pc gamer but this is just cope
Single_Asparagus_704
80$ games on pc will happen. But guess what? They’ll actually go on sale unlike its Nintendo counterpart.

I’m honestly worried about what will happen when Gabe dies.

I have a feeling that you AI generated the all holy gaben and put him as a meme, why is The PCMR sub getting filled with AI sloppy toppies?!

? I mean games are cheap but decent pc parts especially gpus are only getting more insane also. And anyone saying but used no thats not better used has also gone up alot as well. You can find a deal here and there but nowhere what it used to be.

The Series X is my last console, I’ve started putting money into a savings account for a pc build. I’m 35 and have never owned a computer before so it’ll definitely be a learning experience

It is a valid advice that’s been valid since forever xD

At this point in time, if you’re still abusing yourself with the limitations of consoles, you’ll do yourself so many favors from just going full PC gaming! Literally everything the consoles can do, PCs can do and much much more! I personally preferred consoles over PC for decades because of the convenience of just plopping my ass down on my couch and pressing the home button on my controller and begin playing games on a big screen TV, when TVs were much more difficult to hook your PC to…but now, every modern TV has a HDMI port that can go to a PC and get the same experience seamlessly! I still use my old Xbox One purely out of obligation to use it to its limit, but once it dies…not a single penny will go to console purchases ever again, why would I?

Yeah until you remember publishers set the price on steam, valve just has some dates and periods when they invite them to be part of the sales but each developer/publisher can decide if they participate, how much they discount and when.
Sorry guys is not Steam nor Gabe putting games on discount for you lol

I really hate this console vs pc fighting, I have both and use both. I like Switch because wait for… it plays Nintendo games that I like!

Idk, man. The momentum PC gaming got from the Steam Deck is starting to slow down. Games are coming out with more aggressive DRM implementations that are dogging on performance. A lot of my friends that have built systems during Ryzen 5000 are struggling to run games at 1080p, and it’s not looking like it’s going to change.
I still think console has a damn good spot, since a PS5 is able to run games that a 5600x and 4060ti are struggling with… PC propaganda always ignores how awful DRM can be, and how many games are just stupid hard to run.

If Steam Deck won’t go up in price like the rest, then yeah, I agree!

To the people openly suggesting that everyone pirate. I completely get it, but I have a question: let’s say more people on PC begin to pirate games because the prices go up, discounts and Steam sales aren’t low enough.
As a publisher, why would you continue to put your games on a platform where there is an increase in piracy when you can just funnel your games straight to consoles only? Publishers have been far better about getting their games on PC(unoptimized sure, but that’s another discussion), and I believe that is due to stores like Steam. Steam sales justify the potential piracy element because more people will just buy a game rather than going through the process of piracy, with the obvious issue that it’s illegal being a problem for some.
Essentially, if we were to pirate games like you may be suggesting, isn’t it possible that an increase in video game piracy leads to less games coming to PC overall? AAA at least? Would you still suggest it if it lead to a drought in new AAA titles coming to PC?

The value proposition for console gaming is in free fall.
With a PC you have access to a MASSIVE back catalog of high quality games that you can buy at 75-90% off quite often.
You can use mods etc.
With console you just have to accept whatever shit they serve you.
