Discounts Memes

The eternal battle between game companies and Valve's Steam platform in one perfect image. On the left, major publishers (EA, Ubisoft, Microsoft, etc.) screaming bloody murder while Steam casually responds with "I like to provide good discounts and customer service" alongside that sweet -95% tag. It's basically the gaming industry's version of that meeting where someone suggests actually making customers happy and gets thrown out the window. The difference is Steam actually did it and now has everyone's wallet in a stranglehold.

The PC Master Race waiting for Steam sales like it's life support! That glorious 80% discount is basically oxygen for gamers with empty wallets. Notice how the Metacritic score and "Overwhelmingly Positive" reviews are the IV drip of validation—because we're not just cheap, we're efficiently frugal . Nothing says "financial responsibility" like waiting 6 months to buy a game for the price of a sandwich.

Ah, the eternal struggle of PC gamers waiting for the perfect discount. If it's not at least 90% off, might as well be full price. We'll just stay in bed, refreshing Steam every 8 minutes, waiting for that sweet indie game to hit rock-bottom pricing. Because paying $3.50 instead of $0.50 for a game we'll play for 200 hours is clearly financial irresponsibility.
