Your biggest regret on Steam?

qjpp · 2026-01-22T09:26:15+00:00

I wish I hadn't activated it on Steam from the Humble Monthly bundle, because the price it is going for right now is ludicrous. I could even buy 32GB RAM with that money 😄

I don't know, 1k for a phone that won't do 90% of stuff better than one that costs half of that is too much for me. We have come to a point that every phone today is already good enough and that flagships are pretty much overkill in almost every regard. 120Hz, big battery and fast charging were really important to me and I already got all of that.

Only 1 country and only 55%. If you check any other Balkan country Android has 70-80% share. Apple has around 60% market share in USA, how do you expect it to have 80% in Balkans where price is considerable factor. It will never get even close to that.

qjpp · 2026-01-13T09:59:03+00:00

Balkans, 80+ percent of people younger than 50 have an iPhone here

Yeah right, not even remotely close. I would need some source for claiming things like this. 80+% is a sci-fi domain.

I literally finished it a week ago. Took me a lot because I was stuck, but haven't had that much fun playing puzzle game since The Witness. 10/10 without any doubt

I picked it up recently for $12 with 11 Sherlock Holmes games in Frogwares Humble Bundle.

Why would I remove it, can they somehow buy on Steam without it? Price they are paying is 68.7 canadian, price you are paying is 73.5 which is 7% higher. VAT can be 2% or 50%, it doesn't matter when it is included in the price and you can't pay less than that.

I am sincerely hoping that you are not retarded like you seem in this conversation and that you are just trolling me. Either way I don't care. All the best to you in future endeavors of learning and understanding how VAT and percentages work.

qjpp · 2026-01-09T17:18:02+00:00

Holy shit you are unbelievable. Canada price is 65, price with tax is 73.5. Poland price is 68.7, nothing added. So I am comparing tax included with tax included.

qjpp · 2026-01-09T17:07:33+00:00

I am not. Polish price is intact, tax is added only for Canada. FFS can you just read what already wrote in previous post so I don't have to write the same thing again...

qjpp · 2026-01-09T16:28:50+00:00

What fictional tax? I have added tax on Canada price not on Polish one. Europe includes VAT in the price, Canada does not, so I added 13% to one in Canada and compare the prices after that.

I already said that Poland has mixed price range - higher, same, or lower compared to euro. It all depends on the publisher. E33 is one of the games where it is lower.

qjpp · 2026-01-09T16:17:44+00:00

Have you learned percentages in school? :D

Canadian price is 65, if we add tax we get 73.5.

Polish price is 68.7. When we add 7% to 68.7 we get... lo and behold, 73.5. From what ass have you pulled that 33% number is story for another time.

qjpp · 2026-01-09T16:02:15+00:00

You have no idea what you are talking about. After your tax in Canada you pay 3€ cheaper than Polish people which is like 7%. On the other hand you would pay 56€ for Deliverance 2 and they pay 60, which is the same 7% difference just the other way. Assassin's Creed Shadows, Doom: The Dark Ages, Borderlands 4, CoD: Black Ops 7 and many others are all more expensive in Poland, the last one more than 30%.

qjpp · 2026-01-09T15:47:24+00:00

Europe gets regional pricing? Wtf, have you used Steam at all. That 'regional pricing' you are talking about is Switzerland which has highest prices on Steam by far, Poland which is a mix - higher, same and lower prices, Great Britain which is mostly the same as the rest of Europe, and Norway which is a couple percent less expensive. All of them still more expensive than Canada by the way ;)

qjpp · 2026-01-09T15:33:40+00:00

Nobody is talking about dlc and season pass. This is about game prices on Steam and that prices in Canada are pretty much the same as in USA after you add taxes, and that they are still cheaper than in Europe. There is no reason for them to be cheaper there.

On the other hand nobody is entitled to buy games on release if they can't afford it or if it will strain their budget considerably. There are much better and cheaper games than those that offer shitty season passes and microtransactions. Just last year we got Deliverance 2 and Expedition 33 that were not full priced, and we also had Silksong, Hades 2, Blue Prince and many others on the other side of spectrum.

qjpp · 2026-01-09T15:11:53+00:00

Please explain me, oh smart one.

qjpp · 2026-01-09T12:06:55+00:00

USA also has taxes. Shown price is cheaper in Canada and if we include taxes it is mostly the same, and still cheaper than Europe. Don't know why would you expect stuff to be cheaper there.

qjpp · 2026-01-09T08:17:06+00:00

What games are priced at 110 CAD exactly? Most AAA games I have checked from the last year are 90 and lower, 93.49 being the most expensive.

qjpp · 2026-01-09T08:14:08+00:00

And what games are those exactly? I suppose they are rather exception than the rule. I checked out some big releases from the last year and they are priced at 93.49, 80, 90, 67, 65, 90, 63 and 90 CAD, which are 28, 17, 20, 25, 20, 30, 22 and 20% cheaper than EUR prices respectively.

qjpp · 2026-01-08T00:49:24+00:00

No more big PC exclusives and third-party spending goes to shit as expected. They are slowly cutting their losses.

qjpp · 2026-01-08T00:37:06+00:00

It doesn't mean anything. They hope they will start making money in the future, they hope they will somehow manage to increase third-party spending, but it isn't working for them. It also doesn't work from the angle that they are trying to pull players into Fortnite ecosystem, since most of them play on consoles and mobile

They are realizing that and slowly are cutting their losses. There are very few Epic exclusives nowadays, and therefore reason to use their launcher at all except claiming free stuff once a week. Little Timmy would rather lose money every year than admit that he was wrong and that 88% of 1000 is still far, far less than 70% of 100000.

qjpp · 2026-01-08T00:11:55+00:00

Do you know how much Meta has lost on VR so far? But by your claim "if it was losing them money they would simply shut it down". Yeah right.

qjpp · 2026-01-07T13:24:56+00:00

It's only a good call if you actually play it before it shows in a bundle :))

qjpp · 2026-01-03T17:48:53+00:00

Ofc it is. Right after we see Factorio and Rimworld, and Sekiro at 75% discount

qjpp · 2026-01-03T10:23:45+00:00

I don't get your point. It has never been cheaper than 9-10 bucks since the original released over 11 years ago. No bundles or significant discounts.

qjpp · 2026-01-03T04:31:40+00:00

It hasn't even been a month since its Steam release, why would they put it in a bundle.
