Gamefly cheaper/better Steam are losing the plot.

they seem to have better and cheaper games ..............just saying. Saints row £15.99 , new splinter cell £15.99, new batman £15.99, metro last light £10.19 etc etc. I seem to be downloading more from gamespy than steam lately. They have a great choice of adventure games too. Anyone else? i'm a bit fed up with all the cheap ♥♥♥♥ty titles that are being pushed out by the bucket load on steam like 2D shoot em ups etc. This make your own games ♥♥♥♥ has gone to peoples heads!!

Considering that Valve don't make the prices, that's up to the publishers... there's not a lot they can do.

Wherever you see it cheapest... get it.

I agree with you I keep a close eye on the prices and gamefly seem to win everytime.

Bioshock infinite is £8.00 at to moment BARGAIN!!

Gamfly has control over their prices. Steam does not. The developers/publisher control the prices.

I agree with KARR though, if you can get it cheaper elsewhere, do so.

Honestly, I won't use Gamefly again as they don't allow you to remove your card from your account without contacting support first. Then it is a one time per a request. They also don't offer a one time purchase option for the payment method. The card automatically gets attached to the account. Considering it takes two days to get the issue resolved and remove my card, it isn't worth the headache, imho. Then they claim it is for the "customer's convenience"...

Also doesn't gamefly cost a weekly/monthly fee? That's probably why they can afford to sell games cheaper.

They are, first and foremost, a game rental business that just happens to sell games on the side. They charge a monthly fee for console game rentals. They also offer some PC games free with the membership ( think, it has been awhile), though you have to play them through their program.

You can't say Steam are losing the plot in this regard, and it's very simple why. You've ALWAYS been able to find games cheaper elsewhere - there is no indication that this is changing, one way or the other.

Sounds to me you've just learned to widen your searches a little more.

And cheap, ♥♥♥♥♥♥ titles? I guess you're referring to what some call "indie" games (often incorrectly). Just because you don't like them, heaven forbid that Valve should think of selling games for other people than you, eh?

You might note that the very reason they accept them for sale on here is because they sell, and are very popular.

Okay Gamefly Makes games look negitve and cheap. Steam is really doing what Gamefly wish's by having cheap games and a good customer base comments. Gamefly cannot do that to save their company from having a huge back fire on themselves.
