How can this be? All the games I buy on Steam are cheaper than on other platforms. Where are these cheaper games?

The only way to get them to really make changes is to leave.

I tip if there was something to tip. Fast casual dining with me bussing, nope. Receiving a cup for coffee that I pump and setup, nope.

I'm older so probably not in the demographic. I had a PS4 and liked it. My only complaint was paying for online service. But getting "free" games with the service, okay sure. Lol, you can play some games without PS+. I found this out playing rocket League, yay?

I thought about getting a PS5, but I'm not down with the whole rat race vibe. Paying more then retail seems silly. Resellers, nope. After 3 years the luster of having a new console is over. I'm fine with Steam.
