Why is a 6 year old game not on sale?

[Flint and Steel]

It is ridiculous that this game still isn't on sale even after a year but elden ring is. Its some real bs that this game isn't on sale rn

[ashen1]

its the magnum opus

[hedgehawk]

Because elden ring brought in a lot of new fans, who should pay full price...

[CL420TP]

absolutely ridiculous. bandai is a bunch of clowns

[Skunk]

Because Elden Ring sucks and bandai is mad because they didn't sell enough copies

Now they punish steam users by not putting DS on sale

Maybe we missed the sale, I don't celebrate Christmas but maybe this game was on sale Black Friday? Did anyone check back then? I honestly thought BF was yet to come lol.

Officially recognised by Steam/Bandai and the gaming public that the better game maintains its price, suck it up ER fan bois.

On their website? Where it is on sale for EU rn? I saw the Twitter post and they said select titles, so DS3 wasn't one. Sad.

They should give me DSR for free since I already own the original DS1 console release.

The least they could do is offer a discount for old games instead of being scumbags

As long as the Dark Souls games are selling well at full price, there is no incentive for them to put it on sale. Once the sales drop at a low enough rate, it will start to go on sale.....maybe in a year or two.

It is on sale: in MS store, PS store, you can buy steam key on BNE page (in EU) but not on steam because... corporate greed is limitless ?

Must've missed it right?
Maybe that was the PlayStation one actually. Which means there hasn't been a PC one besides the EU one rn.

How come consoles get sales but not pc?

You are a funny man.

Bandai Namco have stopped putting up discounts ON Steam, instead using their main store deal page, which then offers a key FOR Steam.

The last sale for DS3 PC in US was on Black Friday.

This is the page where they list time-sensitive deals:

I am guessing they did this to target regional differences. Europeans have DS3 on sale now for example, same with US console owners. It seems over-divisive.
