"December 17, 2008 — a date which will live in infamy"

This group started out to show people were against the very unbalanced prices that came with the currency change on Steam. Right now this group will focus on exposing all the flaws around the Steam platform in the hope it would eventually lead to improvement.

The group will keep the original name to show how this all started, only our goals have expanded.

I think we have a bigger problem with the money system as with the 1€ ≠ 1$ problem.

It still dosent change the fact that Steam is a company who wants to earn money and as long we buy games from Steam they are not going to reduce their prices. Yes i totally agree that Steam overprices most of the games, but i bet you all bought games doing the ongoing holiday sales. That makes Steam less likely to reduce the price here.


By the way...

It is cheaper to buy Napoleon: Total War on Steam than on www.game.co.uk which amazes me. :O

Publishers/Developers are always bound to contracts espcially when it comes to a platform like Steam. Steam is a great platform but it needs some work financially before it becomes epic.
