For $89.99 USD - holy f*ck. What a kick in the pants. More reason for massive community rage. The same price we'll see it for on shelves.

Whatever happened to cheaper games because of cutting out the middle man? No retail front (no cut for them), no packaging costs, no manual etc.

Arkham Asylum is $90 AUD in stores, and $50 USD on Steam. It was the same scenario with AAA titles such as GTAIV and Bioshock.

Will just be downloading this title. Yeah, I said it. I'm going to download it like the scurvy pirate i am.

I assume most people will, for the single player campaign.

Now, you know - that multiplayer is botched and no one wants to pay $95 AUD for a digitally distributed single player game.

F*cking IW retards.

i like how the actual front page advert on the steam store is MASSIVE - as though they Do actually want PC players to buy the game when every other shred of evidence is contrary to that.

They have to advertise it even harder now, because people hate them and their STUPID GAME. :P

"We understand that it's a game but ... we're not far off when you look at the images that you could actually put it on a Channel Nine news report and you'd think maybe that is real.
