Title: The Steam Machine may have a higher price than consoles, but PC games are getting cheaper
Post by: Redaktion on November 26, 2025, 02:20:40
Despite the higher cost of gaming PCs, popular Steam games are becoming less expensive. A new study analyses the successful titles on Valve's marketplace since February 2023. The Steam Machine will benefit from lower-priced indie games, but its advantage over consoles disappears with AAA titles.

PC games are not getting cheaper, indie games have always been that price.  Did steam offer you money or something.  PC games are the same price.  Steam is not cheaper than anywhere else. Are you high?

Well, depends. If you don't mind using key sites like fanatical, green man gaming or CDkeys then AAA titles are way cheaper. I have over 400 games on steam and I never bought AAA title on steam.
Re requiem? $40 pre ordered
Code vein 2? $45 pre ordered

AAA gaming on PC is way cheaper, and no don't listen to all the people saying ohhh these keys are grey market they get taken away. No. They will not. 16 years of doing that and not a single game taken off me. Just don't use sites that lets users post and sell keys and you will be good.
