Game very rarely goes on sale?

[Download Everything]

Or did I miss some of em?

It goes on sale roughly 3 times a year but not during the big summer/winter sales, just add it to your wish list so that steam sends you an e-mail when it does go on sale.

When you don't know if a game has been on sale as well as what kind of discount you could hope for, steamdb is there to give you all of that data so it's pretty convenient:

Idk if yall noticed by japanese devs hate sales, their games rarely go on sale and if they do its not that much off. Why? Because in japan they value their products in such a way that they feel its worth what they ask. Hence why you almost never see nintendo games on sale, its a cultural thing. Sucks for us tho

I don’t think that on sale is something related to Japanese companies. It’s related to company policies and the selling quota sold worldwide.

This game has a higher development cost but lower total selling in general. It’s similar to niche and small titles like Cold steel or Y’s (a bit bigger but it isn’t that well known even for GE since most ppl know more about MH than these games with the clone tag on even though the gameplay mechanics are totally different)

Most titles that big in Japan is very small in other regions. One of the reason that they decided to just make a single player game to lower the cost and understanding the public demands as these games aren’t that huge since they were made for their home consoles (which handhelds like Psvita and Nintendo are well known in the region)

Also PC wasn’t the first market of this game like GE and Japanese companies tend to favor politics a lot (part that they are kinda bad with English distribution or actually take someone in the industry rather than doing a new recruitment within that particular version of the game)

Using Nintendo as an example, especially with their poor consumer practices and blatant use of emulators and ROMs at market price, is a poor example.

Last one I saw seemed to last less than 24 hours.
And I was actually planning on getting it.

Looking at SteamDB it seemed to pretty consistently get a discount at some point during March. But here we are, coming up on the end of March.
If Dark Souls is anything to go by, that probably means they're planning on doing a do-nothing remaster of the game.

FINALLLY! I am not missing the sale this time even if Nier comes out tomorrow and I won't get to this until thoroughly finishing that.

No its not its a fine example, roms and pirating is a industry problem NOT a nintendo problem. LOL

I think they're talking about Nintendo selling ROMs obtained from the same people they call pirates.

It's actually a perfect example. Mario Odyssey, Breath of the Wild, many other switch games are all full price still and they've been out for years now. If they go on sale, it's usually by $5 or $10 only. Even on trade in, the used games are $54.99 for the Switch.

I'd have to agree. I waited a long time for Code Vein to go on sale for Steam. New physical disc was $19.99 on console, but digital everything stays full price. I luckily caught it on sale after leaving it on my wishlist so now I can play with PC friends and PS friends. The co-op sucks though...so hoping Scarlet Nexus is better on that front...

I'm waiting for the quests dlcs to enter on sale but last time was in 2019...

As a full time PC gamer, I don’t buy any games outside of steam. To me, it’s more like a KT thing, their games generally rarely go sell, because of the small audience they reach, it doesn’t mean their games are bad though, long time ago, they had issues with porting their games on pc right, but now, not a problem.

Kt’s titles, ignore the dlc business, only the main game, usually are presented with high-quality, big budget, though target community is small, resulting pricey. Buying their games for years, these are the facts I concluded
