I mean, apart from the deals they run, it's pretty expensive.
For example, Skyrim is £27.89 at Amazon.co.uk which is $43. On Steam, it's 49.99 which is $66. So it costs $23 more, with no box, no printed map, no printed manual and no physical disc. It seems 49.99 is the standard price for new games on Steam, which is almost always more than what the boxed copy would cost. One would think digital downloads should be cheaper...
