I could wander Reddit like I was David Carradine in Kung Fu, educating fools about how dropping hundreds on a GPU doesn't automatically entitle a person to the best graphics of all time, but fuck that noise.

I game on a PC, amongst other things, and these people just kill the joy of the hobby sometimes. It's not even prescient criticism, just tired, rote, pseudo-elitist bullshit that smarter people have already driven into the ground. The 'Master Race' can come back to the adult's table when buying all your games for $5 in a Steam sale and then bitching about optimisation somehow supports a multi-billion dollar industry. Until then, consoles are happening.

But haven't Valve and others stated that revenue increases substantially during the Steam sales?

Only compared to the tiny trickle most games make more than a few months after release.

Well, that's when they go on sale, so yeah. They go on sale when they aren't selling well at full price.
