[quote name='MSI Magus']All I am saying is regardless of if its steam, XB/PS classics or whatever any digital download should always be cheaper then the physical copy. People pitched fits because the PSP go prices were the same as the disk based copies....so why are people not up in arms that most of steams games after just a month or two are priced higher then a physical disk copy?[/QUOTE]
You seem to either conveniently forget or are blissfully ignorant of the relationship between digital distribution services, retail, and publishers. Retailers have discretion over their prices so they can move merchandise. Steam does not (for the most part). And you do realize that console versions of Valve games are distributed by EA?
This "should be cheaper" thing is totally subjective. Some people think paying 10 dollars more for not having a disk is totally worth it. Some people, like you, think that paying for a disk is worth 10 dollars more. Also, consoles and handhelds have a much stronger history of physical mediums for games than PCs.
This topic has been done to death and you really should take the stick out your ass and drop it.
