Has PC gaming really come to giving away games for free? I see these free game deals every so often for the PC, especially recently.
Surely they aren't games worth playing when there are better experiences out there to spend time on, but still, this doesn't help out developers of PC games who aim to sell their games. They are already fighting for a very small market, and then they have Steam pushing forward the death of PC gaming by giving away games.
PC Gaming platform is poorly managed. =/
Even I could manage a better platform, add a couple billion dollars in revenue with a few changes. |

Well actually I do, I study the PC and Console markets, its part of what I do for a living. And if I was managing the PC platform, I would make changes that would allow it to compete with Consoles. Giving away Free games is one of the things I would not do. Especially when there is already easy access to free games through warez, giving them away through Steam only cuts into potential revenue from the people who actually do buy the games, which is a small market compared to Console gaming market. |

| These are older games.. I'm willing to bet they sell less than five copies a week...so why not give them away for free as a promotion to introduce players to Steam? Steam has it's own little advertisements that pop up every day, introducing players to new games. They will probably end up making alot of money by giving away a few small freebies. |
