I sometimes wish I was already retired and sitting in a nursing home with nothing to do so that I could just game all the time and let someone else cook my meals.

Yes, there is no doubt that Steam has been the best digital provider for many years, or they would not be the biggest digital distributor out there. They also tend to hold the best sales (usually) compared to other companies. However, as I have noticed frequently is that new games to come out are more highly priced on Steam than more other digital distributors. Makes me think that the extra pricetag it to suit their own financial needs. Understandable, but I still wouldn't pay the larger price if it were available for cheaper elsewhere, whether I had the money or not.

You don't think that maybe since steam is number one other companies hold sales to gain marketshare? I would imagine that is case and they usually compensate in other ways. They are pretty generous with content and tie in promos. I don't really think it's greed on Valves part, look what they are doing with EA/Origin.

Too each their own. I respect your opinion. I still think that Valve is best overall, but if you are low on cash, great deals are to be found elsewhere as well. Which brings me back to my main purpose of posting the great deals on GMG. Glad we had a chat.
