Deluxe edition is $80 for 2015 game

Are they insane? You can buy the complete trilogy on disc for console for less than half the price Steam is asking. Physical discs you own the game, Steam download you don't own but only have access to it. What is Steam and FROM BANDAI shenanigans up to? I wouldn't give a dime to these companies if their business motive is simply fraud.

I bought it with an 87% discount but now it goes on sale for 50% but only once a year. The policy seems to have changed. Game companies now want you to rent their games, not buy them. As systems like gamepass and eaplay increase, this will continue to happen. Game prices will increase every day and they will not even sell them. The only way to play will be to rent. It's sad for new players. The age of pirate is approaching for the gaming world. I think the number of players who react will increase day by day.

It's always been here, nothing has really changed...

Steam isn't doing anything, Bandai is just making money. No "fraud" happening. Games being cheaper on console has always been a thing, if that's what you're referring to...

it was on sale on bandai namco eu store for $35 (you could also get 20% discount on top of that) like yesterday. They rarely do sales now and prices are high because of elden ring hype.

Yep. I Should've bought it during the last sell. Price went up.

♥♥♥♥ game simple as that, buy either DS or DS2, even ER is an improvement over this mediocre Bloodborne wannabe with Dark Souls limitations.

Pls don't remind me of the fact that I am a living fossil, back in my day people were quietly raging at demon's souls and medal of honour, you kids these days have it too easy I say!

[Phantom Limb]

Can't you just buy a key from 3rd party store? I'm sure it's cheaper that way.

[DreadLordAvatar]

Definitely don't want to pirate this game, but supporting FROM/Steam is hard at their pricing strategy. Hmm

This. And here's a tool to help any and all who come across this thread if they just don't want to pirate, which is fine, or would much rather buy the game in some capacity.

Got it with dlc for 13 bucks a few years back. DS2 used to go on sale for 10$ all the time, now never goes below 20. Better to sail the seas than pay these jacked up prices for old games.

[NeutronVortex]

The Deluxe Edition with both DLCs is $35 rn on cdkeys and the base game itself is only $25 there. And really, the base game has enough content by itself to be worth it. I have over 200 hours in DS3 at this point and I've yet to do either DLC.

It goes on sale often enough. No need to spend that much money.
