[–] cheddar@programming.dev 31 points 2 years ago* (1 child) My favorite recent example: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1493640/Banishers_Ghosts_of_New_Eden/ (50 EUR) https://www.playstation.com/de-de/games/banishers-ghosts-of-new-eden/ (60 EUR) PS5 game on sale did cost 2 EUR less than the regular price on Steam. I don't think Steam overcharges me. It's not like the game is cheaper somewhere else on PC either: https://store.epicgames.com/de/p/banishers-ghosts-of-new-eden-f9e3f2?lang=de (50 EUR) permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] crossmr@kbin.run 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) Console prices aren't really relevant to Steam. Consoles always tend to run higher. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] cheddar@programming.dev 7 points 2 years ago* Yes, but they sue Steam that has competitors selling games for the same price instead of literal monopolies. Even Apple was forced to open up to other app stores. permalink fedilink source parent
