Love it or hate it, this is exactly why PayPal is good for online transactions. You can just sever it off entirely.

There’s still great places here and even on reddit to find information, the key is just to focus on finding places where people enjoy the subject of the forum XD
But yeah, lurk lurk lurk, unless you have something of value (or funny) to contribute.

And then the next storefront or launcher will come along. Or GOG/Epic start making moves that appeal to a wider demographic. Or indies publish on their own sites (Vintage Story). Or someone releases a simplistic cracking tool for Steam’s DRM.
There’s a lot more options than you think for those who aren’t happy with the status quo. Going back full circle, on consoles, you are SOL in that situation. PC never had that issue.

I suppose, sorry. I meant your progress that was meant to last forever being dragged out from under you (server shutdown). I guess rugpull might be more for something like scams.

Actually, some talented people have managed to make locally/community hosted WoW a thing, so at least you have that backup plan :)
No such luck for Destiny 1/2, how much time I spent there…

I bought the outer worlds for $10 on a steam summer sale. The original list price and the price a customer pays tends to be much lower on PC (many wishlist and wait), and piracy is an option.

How’s Brazilian regional pricing doing so far? I heard some countries are getting the short end of the stick now because of some users VPN routing to another country for deals.

I’m referring to that consoles can set the price period. You don’t have another marketplace (except for the used physical market, if you console supports it) to acquire first or third party games. Therefore, those who own the market can set the price as high as they’d like.
I remember when console prices were standardized at 60 USD during the 7th generation. On steam I’ve never paid more than 40, with the majority of my library costing under 20.

California? You need to tell me your dealer, because I’d like to have an ounce of what you’re smoking. At least we give our citizens healthcare.

Consoles are a walled garden - the only reason they can do what they do is because of the lack of options for the customer to use their hardware.
PCs are the only gaming platform (apart from perhaps smartphones) that have an open framework untouchable by publishers or game platforms. You don’t have to publish with Sony and Microsoft, and the majority don’t.
Unless your console has homebrew, you will always be screwed by the platform holder.
Dammit. Always a catch after all… ;-;
