No prices yet. I may never financially recover from this.

Sorry, clearly you are far more knowledgeable about such things, despite having nothing more than I do to back it up. I apologize for contradicting your opinion on the internet, that was my bad.

    Hey, if I've offended you, I do apologize for that, it truly wasn't my goal. But I do strongly disagree (which is allowed).

    And I think it's pretty obvious that microtransactions could never, ever, possibly be more lucrative for Valve than selling games. It's just a numbers thing. I mean, dlc can sometimes make more money than game sales for some titles, that's a fact. But Valve has what, a dozen games that they could potentially sell dlc for? That's a pretty hard limit. Whereas they also make money on every title sold in the store, and there are currently over 10,000 titles available from the steam store. That's just like, a lot more than a dozen...
