Why is stranger things not discounted?

I get that it returned a few weeks ago and I get why it wasn't on sale then, but seriously, it's a 4 years old dlc. Even alien is on -17% discount rn, despite being only around 3 months old. Why not stranger things?

Because it's new, even if it's returned, it's still considered a "new" chapter. I don't understand it but, their rules @@

Weird to consider something that many people have for 4 years new.

Whoever paid 300$ for ANY dlc shouldn't be allowed to vote. For us, sane people, it was just unpurchasable.

Still, it's 4 years old.

They just re-added it, so probably were in long talks with Netflix or so. Obviously they won't put it on sale yet, especially with the hype following it. Plus, i'm pretty sure most of the people that wanted to buy it, bought it right away. So, does it make from some players' perspective? No. Does it make sense from BHVR's financial pov? Absolutely.

As you said, those that wanted to buy it on full price already did it. It would make sense to now allow people who wanted it on sale.

As someone said already, it's "new". So no chance for sale, maybe for christmas, idk. But I assume next year.

I mean they did just re-add it. From a business perspective they probably expect more purchases right now so leaving it full price is the most profitable choice.

The folks that don't buy it now will buy it on sale later, but the people that are going to get it now that it is back are still going to.

So yeah, from a business standpoint this is the smart choice- doesn't mean me or others will like or agree with that, but it makes sense.

They probably had to pay netflix too much to get the license again

Considering it was taken away, because netflix has been making a game that flopped, I'm pretty sure netflix was the one that initiated it's return here.

That doesn't mean they didn't charge through their ass for it (and it still being worth it for Behavior to pay). But it's why they're not going to discount it so quick.
