Does this game ever go on sale?

[Mentatz]

I dont want to pay 50 bucks, Lord Gaben takes 30% of every game sold on steam. no way I will pay full price.

[Mentatz]

you guys cant even read properly. like I said offline retail is whole other world of distribution. just the base tax on property every month, property rent, personal costs, people who clean up everything, additional storage space, wares that have to be destroyed because they have shelf life, electricity etc. you have no idea about running a business. stop trying to educate people about stuff you put no effort in understanding. you just ignore everything I say and come up with new BS.

[SilentCaay]

There are plenty of online-only retailers like Newegg and, of course, one of the largest retailers in the world, Amazon. You can come up with all the excuses you want, the fact is that you wouldn't be singling out Valve if it wasn't for EGS propaganda.

[Mentatz]

You could not refute a single argument, but you still think you are winner. there is no point in talking to you at all.

[IanL]

How about you explain to us exactly what Steams overheads are and why they are not entitled to take a 30% cut. You must know in order to make the claim that it's excessive, otherwise you're just making claims you are unable to substantiate. You are the one making the statement ... back it up.

[SilentCaay]

Nobody was complaining about "Valve's" 30% cut until EGS was like, "Ooo, wow, look at us! We're over here charging less while Valve is writing those poor devs dry! We are the good and they are the bad!", and then, of course, a bunch of EGS fanboys started parroting it without caring if it made sense or not. You wouldn't be complaining if it weren't for EGS propaganda.

[Mentatz]

I already did, I made multiple points, no one refuted but you obviously cant read. so why bother talking to you.

[IanL]

You have simply stated the obvious ... typical overheads for a retail chain of shops. What is there to refute.

I asked specifically how you know what overheads Steam has for you to judge they are taking too large a cut. If you can't answer just say so, rather than this silly 'so I won't bother talking to you' response.

[kakek]

Lol.
Guys, I think that was a troll. You're all ignoring the obvious. This a is a Valve game. In this specific case, valve is taking 30% from ... Valve. Or rather valve is taking 100% because they devellop, edit, and distribute the game.

That debate might make sense for every non valve game, but here precisely it's pointless.

[Mentatz]

the fact that I made no arguments the last two post but you guys are still somehow arguing with me, shows you are mentally challenged or something.

This is hands down the best VR game out there. Its worth it at full price...trust me.

Maybe in your opinion, but I see it differently. For me it's just one of the best VR games currently. If I had the choice to buy Alyx again, I would definitely do so, but definitely not for full price. I would wait for a sale because for me there are many points that makes the game not the best VR game.

BUT ... (before everyone rages again ^^)

... if you look at Alyx as a whole, means the story, the many very good custom maps, good support of different HMD`s then Alyx is a game that you must have played (and what you can have fun for a long time, even for full price if you are willing to pay that)

lol, challenging a statement that someone made and asking for the evidence to back it up is hardly an action of the mentally challenged, nor is it arguing with you, you seem to be continuously side stepping the request and simply attempt to insult those questioning YOUR statement.

I am willing to accept your inferred accusation that Valve are taking too much profit from their 30% cut on Steam Sales when presented with the evidence. So far you have failed to present any, again I'm giving you an opportunity to do so seeing as it was you who raised this in the first place.

I would agree in as much that 'best VR game out there' is a personal opinion, and there is nothing wrong with that, but you are always going to find differing opinions on just about anything.

However, the overall positive response to Alyx from VR players does mean that it's likely most purchasers are going to find a lot to enjoy. What price you are prepared to pay for it depends more on your financial position and disposition to spending money on games. But it does have a lot of added value with the workshop support as Schranzi rightly points out.

As a personal opinion I'd say its worth the full asking price, but for anyone happy to wait for a sale then even better value.

Yes that´s why I´m asking when its on sale. I want to play this so hard. I played Lone Echo for quest 2 and that´s really good as well, if you have the chance. got it for 15 bucks on a sale. no guns but its still such a good game.
That walking dead game is kinda cool as well. I did not like "into the zone" game. graphics and the inventory is not very good.
I also got cosmodread, buts so scary I cant play it at all.

[IanL]

Personally I'd buy every game when on sale given the chance, get more games that way, but I can't always bring myself to wait lol.

I really liked Lone Echo, I've never played the walking dead game or cosmodread but I do like 'Into the Radius' being a big fan of the STALKER games although it seems based more on the original novel 'Roadside Picnic' than STALKER.
