ORIGINAL: Son_of_Montfort FWIW, Steam and Gamersgate charge the exact same amounts of Euros as they do dollars. On the subject of those two, let me illustrate my point regarding UK purchasers. Prices are 1st Gamersgate, and then Steam, all in £UK, VAT included. Fallout 3, £40.46, £26.99 Elven Legacy, £26.99, £24.99 Tom Clancy's EndWar, £44.96, £34.99 Braid, £13.45, £9.99 etc, etc, etc. I've tried to pick typical titles across a range of prices, none of which are currently on any sort of special offer. The Steam price is pretty much the store price in the UK for Fallout 3 and Endwar. Elven Legacy is actually a fiver more expensive, Braid is online only. I'll let you compare $US prices yourselves. Question, where is the average UK gamer going to buy his games? OK, the situation isn't analogous to Matrix as in their case there is rarely competition for the same products, but there is still competition for leisure time and,. these days, very limited money.
