A few sales ago there was a deal for the entire Valve collection. I finally got the Half-Lifes and a dozen others for about £25
They’re still doing that bundle? Fifteen years ago I used to use that bundle as an argument for getting my friends and family into PC gaming. “Look at how many games you can get for only $99!”
I managed to convince one person to ditch consoles, so I consider that a success.
Hell yeah that’s a success. Some legends are rebuilding server support for The Crew, but it requires a PC copy to modify the files. Back in 2014 I bought it on Xbox.
Longevity alone is a great reason to switch. The knowledge that a higher price usually means a better product; complete control over how good the game looks (which usually means higher graphics settings compared to console); a higher chance of being able to play offline to skirt mandatory updates, data farming, glitch patches and other attempts to restrict your choices of playstyle; and less chance of your purchased license to play being indefinitely revoked due to some decision the publisher made. Because, let’s face it, publishers are usually the biggest assholes in the game industry, and the consoles are just another way of enhancing their profit and control over developers and consumers.
They’re a great, convenient product, but all convenience today comes with a higher cost than money.

Wait. I blacked out and my bank is missing numbers, what happened?!

Even better! They’ve since added TF2 and DOTA 2 to the bundle
