Some steam games I have gotten for as little as 0.25 to 0.50 before. I'm fine with unplayed games. Or some games I try out for a few hours and move on. Ehh, it's fine. But I almost am never spending dozens of dollars, much less full price. Hell, a lot of games are on discount on sites like Fanatical before they even launch.

I have also noticed PC gets patches much more quickly and often than console games. So when that matters, it's kind of nice.

Most recently, a party-based single player game I love on its PC port has an experimental co-op built in which has been a ton of fun, and that's just not happening on the console versions.
