Example: Dark Souls 2. On steam right now? Gé¼50. For console in my local shop new? Gé¼55. Alright, it's Gé¼5 more. If I buy a pre-owned copy? Gé¼35, and that'll go down with time.
1) Type in www.greenmangaming.com or follow my link.
2) Create a account.
3) Add Dark Souls 2 for -ú39.99 to your basket.
3) Add voucher - FUSWJT-B1DU64-JBV8UY for 20% off.
4) Pay -ú32 instead. Add key to Steam, download, play.
In a few months time, perhaps even shorter, that price will be cut by half and in a year, you will see the game go for 75% off. |

Might be -ú40 for you, but it's Gé¼50 for me, the discount just brings it down to Gé¼40. Some of the pricing of digital games are horrid here.
Yeah, pricing is bonkers but what would a physical copy of Dark Souls 2 for PC cost you compared to console? The whole point was to point at that games on PC are way cheaper and if you keep your eyes open, you might even get a really juicy deal even for new titles. |

1) You can hook up a PC to the TV in your living room:
Technically I "can" but it's not practical, not only space-wise, but again it puts people in the position of spending more money on a dedicated gaming PC because that PC is not going to be particularly useful for anything else now. Especially when other people may occasionally want to use the TV, even more so in cases like mine where I pretty much need to sit my 2 young kids in front of Sesame Street if I want an hour of peace to get some work done!
2) You can use a game pad/controller on a PC
Again, yes, it is possible to do so. However, I will be hopelessly gimped against the KBM crowd using high performance macro-enabled mice. Not the even playing field I am looking for.
1) Being a father and a family man, it is much harder to justify spending that kind of money on a "gaming" PC but how would you justify the price point of a new console that goes for 400 dollars (if you are in the States) and 60 dollars a pop for games? And how do you even find the time to get your gaming on?
2) Fact is, you have people running around with KBM setups now in Dust so how is that be any different? |

- I play after everyone else goes to bed (sleep is for the weak), and only for an hour or 2 a day, and not every day. I'm not the hardcore gamer I used to be in my 20's. I spend more time with the kids than I do gaming, and they also very much enjoy the blu-ray player in the PS3.
- My kids are also pretty damn spoiled, I'm afraid. Money is not an issue for me, but it is for others. Many have already used up their gaming budget on a PS4, so a second investment in a PC is not an option. For me it's just money I could spend better on something else.
- KBM for Dust was a mistake and a concession to CCP's EVE playerbase. If you have been playing Dust or on the forums as long as I have you would know that KBM on Dust is hamstrung and not nearly the advantage it would be on a PC, though in beta it was apparently better. Never used it so I can only repeat what I've heard from others.
Sleep is indeed for the weak! As for me, I bought a PS3 because it had a fairly competent bluray player. I do my gaming on PC.
Being a parent, there is always something better to spend the money on regardless how much money you may or may not have.
Well, being a EVE player of 11 years, I was pretty outraged that CCP decided to go with a (in my mind) inferior platform and most of the EVE community didn't buy the argument from CCP that it would cut into the EVE subscriptions if they went with PC from the getgo. I ended up with a close beta code and wasn't really too impressed to be brutally honest with you but then again, beta is beta. But seeing Legion coming to PC makes me more happy that you could possibly realize. :) |
