Why is it never on sale?

Well, this question been asked since 2019 but no answer.
Seems like the Devs abandoned their game or they don't care about sale anymore, and the resellers won't sell it even for half of the price, despite the fact that its a decade old and was bundled several times on cheap bundles.
For me, it doesn't worth the full price right now. I'd rather buy AAA game on sale for that price point, like The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Complete Edition.

So it hasn't been on any sale since 2019?

10€ is a pretty good price honestly compared to what indie games cost now.
10€ used to be normal but now its more like 20-30€ for popular indie games.

Its funny how people from Europe or USA compare these prices to the rest of the world, while many countries don't have regional pricing and sharing the same store prices as them.
10$ seems like buying a snack for you, while its full day work salary to others.
I won't mind buying it at full price if its less than 1$ like Argentina and Türkiye.

Also a lot of the gamers nowadays wont buy games at launch/full price, they either wait for it to get bundled or for sale at good discount. Simply cause they have hundreds of games wishlisted and don't wanna break the bank by spending extra thousands of dollars only for games.

It is a good price for a game that just came out, not for one that's 10 years old.

Age does not depreciate the value of a piece of media, particularly a digital one. If for you personally it does that's fine, but it doesn't make it fact. The only reason you have probably formed this perception is the cycle of indie devs discounting/bundling to get as many units out there as possible. This process is the only thing that devalues a game-- putting too many copies of it out there that were purchased purely for reselling or some strange Steam collector level fascination.

All that aside--- To complain about a game of this quality being $10 is utterly ridiculous.

But do you think that it's normal for a game to not be on single sale for over 3 years straight, despite being on multiple sales earlier?

If it's already bargain priced for what it is, and it is also a landmark hit indie title featured in a popular documentary-- it doesn't need sales.

Super meatboy and braid also were in that and they both go on big, frequent sales, so it's not an argument.

Those publishers chose to put them on sale. That doesn't invalidate the point I made, really. If all you want is a back-and-forth, I'm sure you can find someone to do that with. But this is a highly regarded game with a great deal of depth, for ten bucks. There's no obligation to put things on temporary discounts, your insistence otherwise is just a product of being spoiled (no offense, we're all trapped in it). Peace.

All I want to say, if they won't choose to put it on sale, I won't choose to buy it. They are not forced to do it, sure, but neither I am to buy it and since nearly every game goes on sale at least sometimes, I think we can call going on sales as standard and not doing that as odd.
