    Regardless of the box cost, there’s no arguing with the price of games in a Steam sale!

    I don’t think I’ve paid more than £15 for a game in years and years.

      People always argue about the price of the machine, but hardly anyone mentions that console people pay to play online. Which is something i can’t even really comprehend

        Good point. Steam provides a lot of the same multiplayer services and match making and they’ve never cost me a penny.

            For a lot of games, yes. They provide the infrastructure for communication and connection.

            Its why you can, for example, send an invite in AOE via the in-game system or the steam system.

            Its why so many games show your steam name and avatar in the multiplayer menus.

            You surprised to hear this?
