Why is this game still so expensive?

[VasjaTheOx]

After owning Skyrim on PS3 and PS4 SE, and Switch, i wanted to buy it on my PC but dayum 39,99€ hmmmm way to much.

So wait for a discount to kick in, usually happens during the Holiday season.

Keep in mind that Skyrim SE comes with all the DLC.

[Dwnld]

Because it's worth it.

[CaptainR3x]

Yeah it's to expensive for a 8 years old game, grab it on another website for 10$

[fauxpas]

Because people are willing to buy it at that price. 🤷‍♀️

Check out:

https://isthereanydeal.com/

Which is a good place to look for sales on ANY game, not just Skyrim or Skyrim Special Edition.

And avoid any site that Steam censors - they are censored for a reason - usually a history of selling stolen keys, used keys that do not work, or other types of shady activity.

I know, i got it on PS4 for like 8€ 2 months ago.
But i wawnt to play it with all the new mods.

39,99€ is way to expensive for a 9y old game sorry.

And buy it again and again actually. I know one guy that has it on every platform it's ever been released on... because it's the first game he buys when he gets a new console. And when he got a switch for traveling

[LukanGamer]

nor are they selling 100 ripped content "dlcs" / micros

Ever hear about that P.T. Barnum quote?
At least these days we tend to be less blind.... (or try to be less blind).

[RandalMcdaniel]

let me interrupt to talk about me for a bit

when i heard SE was coming out and would be "free" for anyone who owned the legendary edition of skyrim (or skyrim with all the DLC) i quickly went to g2a and got skyrim legendary edition it for 3 dollars and 88 cents

then SE came out and i played it for 5 minutes and gave it a bad review for being a scam

then i tried it a few years later (im playing it currently, its minimized) and holy smokes.. This feels like skyrim on a brand new game engine its so smooth

ive so far spent 400 hours in special edition

playing a smooth and polished bethesda game is unreal to me. it runs so smooth i cant believe it

Kind of a tragic testament to the state of a society that someone like that can afford to travel...or even worse...be paid to travel by an employer. I truly hope his ability to travel is based solely on the crotch the Dr yanked him out of.

When it comes to the price of the game...yeah...wait for a sale...don't pay over $30...and make it the PC version...legit modding or GTFO.

Why is it listed for $40...something something monkey see monkey do...

It will be on sale sooner or later, and even if you buy it at $40, if you plan on modding it's worth it. If you don't plan on modding wait for a sale.

Speaking as someone who buys most of my games on sale and usually at 50-80% off I get where you are coming from. I wait and wait so there is that. That being said when it came time for me to buy SSE for PC after playing thousands of hours on console I bought it without hesitation. Now I've played another couple thousand hours on PC so yeah as has already been mentioned if you're going to mod it I would say do it. But then again I also bought a PC first and foremost for modding Bethesda games. In the end it's a tough one and you have to make that call.
