I was curious about street fighter games again, then I saw the price tag.. and the 90% discounts whenever they apply them..
I'd never ever buy a game that offers 50-90% discounts. I assume it's a nothing more then a cashgrab
bye Capcom.. you were fun in the past, and that's where you shall stay.
My steak is too juicy, my lobster too buttery, wow is me and woe be upon the chef.
What's the age of the game? 75-90% discounts on steam aren't uncommon for games more than 5-10 years old.
Yeah it’s veeeery flawed logic for steam. Most people don’t buy games unless they’re on sale, and the only way to make the sales attractive over a long time is to keep raising the discount
Lol ok. That's some dumb reasoning not to play a good game. I guess you never play anything old, and prefer to get ripped off? And when you finally can get the games at a good value, you snub your nose, assuming something has to be wrong with it to be that cheap? You're doing a ton of mental gymnastics for no reason.
Publishers often give steep discounts on the older games in a property to generate hype and sales before a new entry is released.
I never played dead rising when it originally came out. I picked up the first one for 95% off when the remake came out. It ended up being one of my favorite games. If I used your logic, I'd overspend on everything, and I'd never find games I missed like that.
I play old games because I already own them... I don't buy remade remakes of the remastered edition at 90% off.
What an odd take.
