price still 59.99
this game is 2 years old at this point, look at the release date if you don't believe me. i know the game is on sale right now but why is the game still at new game price 2 years after its release?

Games that do well don't require a price downgrade.

For example, CSGO. $20 for the full game, full price, active community, people are willing to buy it.
A game like Fallout 76, no active community, despirate, therefore the price degrades and an audience is drawn towards it.

There's a reason why Red Dead is still at it's original price all this time, it does well in sales.

The gameplay makes up for the price.. you get a good story for a good one time price..

Rockstar basically only goes on sale a couple times a year, and doesn't reduce price on their games.

Take it as a lesson, if you aren't willing to pay full price for a game, then you probably shouldn't buy it even when it goes on sale.

Cus its worth it. One of the best single-player experiences I've ever played. Worth every penny.

But this game has been on-sale a dozen times since Steam Winter Sales 2020. Just wait for the larger sale coming in Nov/Dec. It will be on-sale once again.

My pre-owned PS4 copy was around $25 maybe a little less, that's a darn good deal I wish PC users could get a good price too.

Summer 2020, Sony Online Store had a major sale; RDR2 Standard was $19.99 and Ultimate was $29.99

But yea on PC we can also enjoy Story Mode mods and such too.
But this game does go on-sale alot on Steam.

You find ps4 physical copies on backstock sale. It's not really the same game. It's like medium settings at 30 fps. I usually buy consoles at super sale prices when the new consoles come out just to play the exclusives but the whole ps5 fiasco made the ps4s jump to premium. Amazon is a s-hole of unregulated crap.

Its not good on PS4; but it is decent enough on PS4-PRO, which I have. And my PS4-PRO has a 2TB SSD.

Right, they all are. People shouldn't have to be paying more than 19.99 new for ps4 games at this point but the whole thing is screwed up.

Well, RDR2 Is a very good game. Games this good usually don't need to lower their price for a good while.

True but they would need higher initial prices so that they have something to actually call a discount when a sales event comes along.

We just had some good sales not long ago on both Sony Store and Steam and my friends got games like BF1 and BFV on PS4 just as cheap as I got them on PC-Steam; which was around $5 each.
