Are you willing to pay £49.99 for a pc game?

This seems to be the new standard they are attempting to push for digitally.

No, I usually wait for prices to come down. I rarely pay more than £30 for a game, unless it's something I know I'll sink hundreds of hours into.

No wait for sales on steam or online retail. Last 2 games I got was ACU for £24,99 amazon, Farcry 4 steam £26,99. Still way too much. :P

That's why they want everything digital so they can charge what they want and when. If the newer consoles had there way with only digital and no dvd drive like first announced then we would most likely paying £100+ for them and £60 for PC.

It would seem this way. Only digital store software that has been reasonable in my eyes has been steam. Ubisoft and Origins attempts amount to sometimes 100% more. Even then, Ubisoft recently attempted to push those prices, lowering to to a (frankly) still massive £44.99.

All in all they can get fucked.

No chance of me paying 50 quid unless it's a special occasion like Elite or SC.

£30 is my max normally

Last games I bought new were BF3 and Skyrim, paid about £30 each. I will never spend more than that.

No, and that would be unusually high for PC. GTA V will likely be my next next new game purchase and that's £39.99 on Steam and £34.99 on Amazon.

No. I buy games mostly if they are £29.99 to £39.99. That said, I just bought pillars for £35. Occasionally I will spend on the games that I really want. Witcher 3 pre-order was £40+? I can't remember.

It's the same for euro people, Steam is a rip off and €10 has been added to the price of games since the new consoles came out.
