They have already stated that it won't be price competitive with consoles. But hopefully a lot of people will realise they will save money in the long run through steam sails and not being locked into a single store.

  • The "Switch - It's just more expensive now - 2",
  • The "Playstation - by the time you can buy one the hype is over" and the
  • The "X Box Series - Call our 900 number to find out which one you should buy"
