Why this game is so rarely on Sale?

[SChrisu]

Hey guys.
I was wondering , that Nier automata is one of the few games [like RimWorld] that are barely on special sales. I know there was momments when the Nier was on sale but it was like years ago!
Do you guys remember when the Nier:Automata was last time on discount? because i really want to buy it , and still there's no offer for this game, not even on steam summer sale :\

Last time the game was on sale was April in the Golden week sale which was a special sale.

Since the game was released in 2017 it has been on sale at least 8 times (not including the price drop when the YorHa edition was released) - that can hardly be called rarely. You want to look for Japanese holidays for when this game will go on sale.

Even if the game was in the Summer and Winter sales, it would likely be on a better sale at another time anyway.

Add the game to your wishlist and you will be notified when it will go on sale.

Like the guy above said, look out for Japanese holidays and seasonal sales.

Japanese are known for having very few holidays, so you wouldn't have to look out for so many dates. Best to put it in your wishlist, unless you have tonnes of games in there already, then it'll be difficult to keep track.

waiting for sale.......................so when does it on sale. Few time ago watching a film names (battle angel Alita) that was amazing!!! That I cannot wait playing this game anymore

It was more often on sales before they lowered the price for GotY edition by around $25.
But if you can afford it, buy it at full price. This is one of those games that deserve all support because it was made with heart and soul.
I bought 21 copy for my friends XD

would've definitely bought it during the summer sale but they had to wait 3 more weeks to put it on sale unlike 95% of steam's catalog, so i spent my money on other things. fantastic move japanese publishers, let's see how that pays off.

I rarely buy anything during the Steam Summer or Winter sales. Most games actually tend to go on much better sales at other times. Publishers know that people's wallets get looser during these big sales and price their games accordingly. Most people actually spend more than they think or want to.

Those that follow Japanese published games would know that most of them go on better sales during Japanese holidays

It is on discount at 33% until august. In the Asian region at least

Because it sells well enough.

It definitely was NOT on sale during the 2019 Steam Grand Prix Summer Sale.

I bought it two weeks ago at full price (during the sale) to now find it's on sale, bleeeeeeeh. I haven't even launched the game once yet.

Someone hit me as hard as they can.

You can try to refund it and then buy it again at the current price.

Yep, and yes this is a valid refund reason, I've done it.
