When was the last time since you actually saw something get cheaper?

What about now with the Black Friday discounts? Also, I indicated two possibilities: games getting cheaper or game development getting more lucrative. More money means the gaming industry getting software dev talents.

That this is the only counter example you came up with should tell you enough.

I could’ve given more. If we’re only thinking of the industry giants, of course a slight reduction in expenses don’t matter. But the smaller devs will definitely benefit.

Yes because Steam is not part of capitalism. We all know if Ten Cent were the ones getting sued, we’d be all over it.
