Sucks, I was excited for the eventual release of Wolverine for PC in a few years, but now i will literally never play it, and that is okay.

I think you still keep games on Steam, even after they are removed from sale from the store. So I don’t think they could get away with taking them away from people who already paid for them, and going exclusive for the few games that they have, like Alan Wake 2, seem only to hurt their sales.

The PS3 was stupid expensive at launch, like $600 in 2006, nearly $1000 in 2026 dollars. But yeah I think that argument was made then also.

I think the PS2 was marketed specifically for DVD capabilities in some cases, I remember an IR dongle and remote control they sold so you didn’t have to use a controller.

I think the PS2 being so well sold is more impressive because the price adjusted for inflation is closer to $560, or $299 in the year 2000.

I think part of it was the idea that it could also be a DVD player so you wouldn’t need two devices that helped sell it if I recall correctly.
