    regardless of what we should and shouldn't have to do, hehe, most game companies will charge whatever they can get away with. And as the status quo is around 60-70 dollars thats what any company that has faith in their game tries to get in the beginning.

    So either SE doesn't have great faith in 2.0, they do have faith but also want to try to appease satisfied of scared off potential players or they are heralding the new age of less expensive video games (this one isn't very likely :P).

    FIrst, who even pays for PC games besides MMOs that need reg keys. :P
    Piracy isn't as rampant in the PC world as many developers claim- especially when you consider that consoles also have piracy.

    Services like Steam, Desura, Direct2Drive, etc have vastly increased the amount of legitimately purchased PC games- especially Steam, because they have sales and discounts all the time. I can't tell you how many games I've just randomly bought because they were heavily discounted on a steam sale. I've discovered a lot of good games this way, in fact.

    Actually I think Id love to play some steam games. I like tower defense and silly games like that and Im sure they'd have a good selection of such games for good prices.

    Btw, You should go to the thread in my signature and post your opinion on Morgan Freeman narrating a FF14 trailer. Because... well its what the cool kids are doing these days. With just one post you become a swaggy leet hipster.
