That's true, I was looking at it from a wrong point of view
If they're acting this way it means that either they've already seen a decline somewhere (or at least not as big of a growth) thanks to other storefronts (and maybe other companies' launchers like Rockstar and similar), or anticipate things will get worse in the future. I get it, as a company they want to make more money YoY, but this is definitely an ugly move. Guess I'll add another reason not to buy from them!
I see, thanks for the clarification. That does sound a bit shitty on their part, especially because when most people are asked "gaming on PC?" they answer "Steam". Lower prices elsewhere might have given a better chance to other storefronts, although I don't think that would have made a huge difference, since Steam is THE storefront
What's that about price parity? I've often bought games from 3rd party sellers like Fanatical, to name one, specifically because their prices were lower than Steam's. What am I missing?
Truer words have never been spoken. Unless someone said "vegatrians are the scum of the earth" of course

Yeah, I think I'm definitely gravitating towards skipping this gen and splurge on the new cards once they land. Hopefully the rumors about the performance jump from RX7000 to RX8000 prove true, that's the only reason I even considered not upgrading.
Since my ideal setup includes playing at 3440x1440 120+ FPS, the only current gen cards able to do so are extremely expensive (7900XTX and beyond, basically) and today I can't afford both any of those GPUs and the monitor; if the RX8000 performance is as good as the leaks say it is, and if prices don't go too much higher, I think I can get target resolution and FPS with a RX8800 or RX8900, spending just as much as I'd be spending today, but on an platform that's not EOL.
Now I have to hold on ultil that release, guess I'll be playing games that aren't too demanding for a while longer! Thanks again!
Thanks, I'll check them out!
