Is it wrong that I kind of wish they would anyway? I know it would be a clusterfuck, but maybe it would make people start realizing just how fragile modern games are.

Might be worth picking up now.

If at all possible you should never take your company public. It’s not worth the loss of control.

Well yeah? Took them far too long to get on Steam, and they got totally eclipsed by Palworld and Helldivers 2.

I also played it for a bit and it’s really not that fun.

Water still gets things wet, scientists baffled.

I’ve been mostly shooting them in the ass with whatever strong ordinance I can get my hands on.

Long live Super Earth!

Didn’t DLC and MTX come about because consumers wouldn’t accept a rise in sticker price for games?

I’m not saying you’re wrong, either, you may very well have a point. I’m just having a hard time reconciling “We added DLC in order to make more money since we can’t raise the sticker price” with “30% discounts are a reflection of how high the profit margins are for sellers”

every game on that list was released after Jan 1, 2023. If that is not “recent” then I have no idea what is.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor 55% off right now (Steam)

Street Fighter 6 44% off right now (Fanatical)

Starfield 33% off right now (40%, microsoft store, Feb 8 2024)

Fairing a little bit better than the above:

Resident Evil 4 Remake 25% off right now (Steam)

Persona 3 Reload 15% off right now GameBillet

Baldur’s Gate 3 10% off historically (10%, gog, Dec 21 2023)

These are just the ones I’m familiar with off the top of my head. Of them, only Baldur’s Gate 3’s discount levels are what I would call “healthy”. 10% for Christmas and no discount since means it’s doing well.

This game is hardly the only one being discounted heavily and early on in it’s life cycle, it’s just the most egregious example that I’m aware of.

If this isn’t a sign of market difficulties, I’m not sure what would be.
