40% off after less than 6 months

[Dr.Acula]

I'm not going to tell you to not buy D4 but consider this:

D4 released less than 6 months ago for a seriously high price with additional transactions (can't even call them micro anymore) in their ingame store. The game by now is 40% off and free for a limited time and with other limitations.

When the game released on Steam a month ago it was 20% off.

Give it a couple of months more and you'll likely get it for over 50% off. Btw. this was predictable as the playerbase in D4 seems to be seriously dwindling fast.

With MIXED reviews and less than 50 achievements, I wouldn't buy this game unless a 90% discount is offered.

90% off is where I buy D4, not less than that.

Lets go blizz. Lets go.

They are already far beyond the sales breakpoint.. this is very common bussiness practice this days, specialy for live services games.

In august this year Rob Ferguson stated that the game had already 12m players, and that was before the first sale.

Bargain bin might still take a while but I think 60-80% off is realistic by the end of 2024 if things continue as they are.

You have to look at every statement made by them with a grain of salt. I think it sold (over) 12 million times - no question. But the player activity in that game drops quickly as it's not nearly as good is people assumed it would be.

And a considerable drop in activity is a problem for all live service games that want to sell more of skins and season passes.

I don't really want to download the game (which is pretty big) just to play for 20 levels and then drop it again. I already did that twice during open beta and server slam to test and see how the game is.

I'm really sure season 2( current season) has more players than season 1.
I don't think Blizzard will make a 50% off until the upcoming expansion( coming in late 2024).

[Abilini]

an advice from me who got it full price on bnet , do not get the game even if it is free.

I played the game for free during that recent play for free event.

After about an hour of it, I was like, "Well, it seems okay but not for 60 USD." (ultimate edition price in US with 40% discount; original price is 99 USD)

Even with the standard version and 40% off we're just now at a "normal" price of 42€ which I still consider to high for this game. With that level of monetization in the game itself it should be F2P.

[Many-Named]

give it a few years and the game will be even more discounted. I mean beside real estate that's how it works right? You could wait your whole life for better prices.

They might even have to pay me to play it. I haven't played since S1 and I'm not that interested either.

It's great, due to the discount I'm buying it second time (BNet + Steam)

Although I have no idea why you'd buy a current game on two different platforms as far as I'm concerned you do you...

[ChubbiChibbai]

It's black friday
Stop this stupid armchair analytics speculation.

You gonna walk around to Best Buy next and ask them why every product is discounted?

[Choppywee]
