So on Steam these days one finds a growing plethora of new releases selling for 69.99, 71.99, 79.99, and now $81.99 Can. funds. Culprits include the new DOOM, Dishonored 2, X-Com 2, and Total War: Warhammer.
Given volume of digital sales, can it really be necessary to charge THAT BLEEPING MUCH for a quality game? Especially when more independent competitors offer their product for 1/2 to 1/3 that cost. Each new 'big name' title that makes its appearance seems to bump up that horizon, from week to week it seems.
I think it may also say something about the low esteem gamers are generally held in by big publishers. In any event, I and several folks of a like mind I know vow not to indulge such gouging. Its an easy vow to keep... $80 for a copied bit of code over Steam is a punishing amount of money.

Also, the Canadian dollar has gone down to the US Dollar compared to what it was roughly two years ago. In the end it is a person's choice whether or not they want to buy the game.
Also, what's your steam id? I want to add you.
