Common Sense Support ending - Resell me my Future Purchases as Remastered content

[76561199502155650]

So let me get this straight, Steam users no longer support common sense and have been tricked by a business to spend spend spend on high priced games that eventually become incompatible with current operating systems.

I Think Common Sense is needed for Majority of the people who have lost and in the future will lose tons of money for video games and hardware purchases that are never fully enjoyed.

Remember in 10 or 20 years from now all of your current purchases will be rolled back over into the same content games and resold as Remastered content on the new/current OS

Thanks for taking the time to have a little common sense and understanding.

I hope people discussed game media format at some point. Games on cartridges always cost more because roms cost money. There was even a chip shortage during the NES days. Eventually those prices come down, but then a new console comes out that needs bigger more expensive roms. Games also existed on tape and floppy disk and would cost much less than the cartridge version, cartridges with obvious advantages, but at a cost. Once CDs became popular, prices did drop down to 30-40 (some huge games could push the price higher). Hell, Sega sold some dreamcast games at 20 dollars new, SEGA2K anyone. I remember Street Figher II for SNES was 70, but because it used more memory than other games and that was the cost.

Remind me what happened to Sega and the Dreamcast?
The simple truth is there's no real excuse. Cartidges,,,yeah but you had cheap carts anbd expensive carts even where the cart contents are identical.

So I just feel ignoring the physical realities of distributing different media needs to be considered when people make claims that prices have never changed, it requires a bit more context.

Prices have stayed relatively consistent though, even as the technology has improved and more labour has been required, with more specialized labour on top of that.

I'm sure people can pick at much of what I've said, but the factors remain important if you ask me. Old cassette games for 8-bit micros were 5 dollars (pounds?) at the local store, different times, different media, different world's, it's not as simple as people wish to paint it.

Keep in mind the main reality here is that retailers needed to move inventory. Inventory space is expensive. They will cut prioces quite a bit just to get the junk out of rtheir inventory so they can stock something better.


The retailor bought the games in bulk and then sold them to you. Now you're more or less buying directly from the publisher and they have infinite shelf and warehouse space.

The problem in question is one of monopolistic practices and the bigher problem is that not only have I seen Steam estimated as having 70% of the market, but Blizzard and few other major players, as well as the console provides, are just as bad.

After giving it some though, I think that OP critisizing the customers is for the problem is better than when 99%+ of people do, which to say the 99%+ the people do nothing/.

But if you call us customers idiots, yea, I'd rather have you say that than not talk about it. But I think the only way these things are going to not continue to get even worse or maybe improve in any way to be very very very very verbal about it.

So thank you.

I was you'd direct your complaint more a Steam directly, but still, your post was much better than nothing.
