The regular price of Red dead 2 on steam is still the full release price even though the game came out 6 years ago. That way they can mark it 70% of and still overcharge.
if you bundle in a load of funbucks nobody asked for
That’s how I feel when people try to justify $60 gacha skins with “But you also get all of these lovely in-game materials!” Well I don’t want any of those shit. I only wanted the skin. Now sell me the skin by itself without all the other crap.
In some ways, I try to acknowledge the original race to the voting on prices was sometimes bad for indies. The Factorio dev even saw the writing on the wall and decided to head it off, declaring “This is the game’s price floor. Buy it or don’t.”
Remember kids. It’s not a sale until the game is at least 50% off its regular price!
my price point is 20 bucks. maybe this year it’s 5 bucks, times have been hard.
I miss the “flash sales”.
They got rid of them, and the Steam Sales were effectively just the regular discounts you can get anywhere else.
That and people like Rockstar figuring out that you can put “50% off” if you bundle in a load of funbucks nobody asked for.
