And it's been like that forever - never have I seen an affordable price for a PS3/X360 game, and now - for Wii U game. Here's my question - if this strategy works and the largest digital game distribution platform is already successful with it, why hasn't it been adopted to console markets? Right now, for example, average console release is priced somewhere in between 20 rubles. If I remember correctly, Gabe Newell said that it's all about service and that the Russian market is one of the largest european markets for them right now, so I assume that something works, right? Just to clarify, (not pirated) cheap games were in Russia -before- Steam adopted this structure.
New PC release usually costs about 15-30 dollars for us and can be activated on Steam. Probably a lot of you guys know that PC game prices in Russia are a lot cheaper than in the US/rest of Europe.
To start off I must say that I am from Moscow myself, but I still don't get how the whole system works.
