In honor of the Steam holiday Sale, our Critical Thought for today is the topic of "Race to the Bottom." Lowered game prices has been a boon to consumers, but it's causing a lot of problems when it comes to earning a profit or breaking even as a game developer. I talked about what factors are causing this, and what it means for the future in terms of sustained game development.
