A producer may charge what ever they want for a product, that amount is usually chosen in relation to profit as charging to much will make people not want to buy it and vice verca.

Unless they are the Sole provider of a product that people need (such as food).

Thus steam can't be a monopoly as if prices increased, people would just stop buying thier games

See? Its becuase of times like these that you should realise you should be the one stealing accounts, not the one being stolen from.

*shrugs* i still think giving a 1-1 ratio on currency, when the exchange rate is nowhere near that is somewhat unfair upon the European customer... but then i never buy directly from steam, and only really use it when i' forced too (and even then grudgingly)

and yeah I'll agree on the account thing, my bro had his hacked and steam were as unhelpful as humanly possible

Somewhat unfair? Its downright robbery! Their money is worth more, thus they should have to pay less of it.

They have no right, heathens(morally speaking, for those of you who are automations).

Actually we in Britain get a pretty good deal off of steam. Whenever I see an interesting looking game on steam I'll make a note of it and check out the prices at the various game shops. In almost every case steam has been cheaper, sometimes massively so.

same here metalmax, itll be even better when the economy gets back up to speed.

it is very nice when i can get games with more than five ponds off. unfortunately, my PC isnt that good though, so i cannot play some of the newer games. (has a lot of CPU tho, df runs awesome!)

I've seen Amazon.co.uk. Those guys have INSANELY low prices. Even on games. Give that a check.

I found 'World In Conflict' for $9.95 on E-bay. New.

And the provider has a 5-star rating.
