  It’s interesting how people ascribe a game or series’ failure to whenever they became disinterested in it. Saints Row 3 and 4 were the best selling games on the franchise.

  Realistically, it’s because they don’t like wasting their limited (usually unpaid) time reviewing untested AI PRs which may or may not do something useful for the project, publicity is irrelevant.

  The problem with a price war is Valve is “just” a multi-billion dollar company, very impressive for their size but a $100bn company like Sony and especially a $3 trillion company like Microsoft could squeeze them out of the market.

  And they would have to subsidise the cost by far more than Sony/Microsoft do due to the smaller scale of production and more expensive newer contracts.

  As long as it’s comparable price or cheaper than a pre-built of similar specs or building a similar build yourself, they’ll be a market for it. There’s always people looking to get into PC gaming and existing PC gamers who want their Steam library in a console form factor.

  Problem is there’s been reports about memory providers cancelling contracts, as the premium AI companies will pay is far higher than breaking the current contracts.
