20% sale only?
Historically this has gone on sale for 60%+ during most major sales. Is it because Sons of the Forest is out now that they are slowly reducing the scope of the sale from now on? I was waiting for this sale to get my friends to play by telling them it normally drops to like sub $7..

definitely not worth more than 10$ at this rate, its pretty obvious theyre not coming back to polish things up around the bugs theyve left for years and pretty much just made the exact same game as a sequel with a bit of fanservice

Was coming here to make the same post. I was planing with some friends to get the game today... not with this price

Yeah my girlfriend and I were waiting for a sale, this has to be a mistake or a joke. The game was $5 for the fall sale or whatever it’s called.

sadly I don't think that's a joke. As OP said I think it has something to do with Sons of the Forest, maybe they are trying to convince people that would buy the first game to buy the new one

I like the graphics on the sons of the forest version but based on the reviews the content seems to be vastly inferior which was why I recommended this one to my friends. doesn't look like anyone is gonna get it at this point though lol

I'm also hoping this was a mistake and refreshing the page now and again. This is the lowest sale in years, it doesn't make sense that an older and unsupported game would be discounted less as time progresses

Same. Bull carp.

I feel this has to be a mistake. Hope it changed during the summer sale to people who are new, can play this game before SOTF. First Forest is still a very fun and good game.

Yep, came here to find this thread. I was going to get both games if the original was properly discounted but now I'm getting none and buying other games instead. Good job losing sales.

Yep...I literally came here to buy two copies. Oh well. Didn't really need another game anyway.

the developers are clearly taking advantage of the "success" of SOTF, which seems to have aroused great interest in the first part, The Forest, which many players have not yet played. if you look at the discounts, they have become bigger and bigger per sale over time and the first sale after the release of SOTF in early access, it suddenly shrank to 20% for The Forest. It's clear that they are trying to generate more revenue because the interest in The Forest suddenly became bigger than before.
what success ? its literally the exact same game with sprinkles of fanservice in terms of booba that has worse ai than fan mods payday 2

people will buy anything

If the price isn't what you would like then I would suggest just buying a steam key. It won't support the developers but you as a consumer would be pretty happy. Which case if you're buying games on steam to support the developers, I could make the argument that any price would be worth it since the developers only get a percentage of the cut.

Just a heads up if you're still planning on buying it, it's 75% off
