everything already all pricy this is not a new change, steam put prices sky high at TR.
we are all gamers here and I am not all depending at steam purchases, I get my keys from grey market, friends, little trade, sites like humblebundle, fanatical. They can make a dollar game and put same shit as 1000 dollars in any place they want but as a wise gamers we will get the same thing at the lowest price elsewhere. If steam put a thing 50 bucks and same thing at epic 3 bucks I get it at Epic, so they make things ultra expensive its not my loss in the longrun it will be STEAMs loss.
This is what I was worried too. That people would misunderstand steam & ignore the publisher.
Steam doesn't decide the price. Steam simply suggested cause the value of currency changes regularly. This would have happened either way even if steam didn't suggest.
More and more AAA game will be 70$ base price in the future. Be it steam, epic, gog.
The price of the game is decided by publisher & they have full power over it. Every game has a valve recommended price for different regions, especially for third world countries & it was always ignored, mainly by AAA companies, only indie games would follow it.
So what does it mean? It means if a game on steam is 50$, it's probably 50$ on Epic too(maybe slightly lower with discount coupon since they are generous with giving that).
Also regions like Turkey would always increase price cause a lot of people other region(not actually from Turkey) make account in Turkey to buy cheap games.
Because of steam "suggestion", this change in price is just more noticeable.
Edit: Though obviously options like humble bundle or fanatical are great options. If I had the chance, I would use those too.
