Why is this game still full price

[WeeMentalDavi]

I've been playing AC odyssey and really enjoying it, and since it being the first AC game i've played since black flag I thought i'd have a go at the new ones. But what I don't understand is why on earth this game still full price 3 years after release, many AAA game don't even stay full after 6 months. Don't suppose anyone knows whats going through the heads of the big wigs at ubisoft apart form squeezing your wallet dry.

Game was 15$ last week on sale.

Put it on your wishlist, it has been as low as $11 for the base game several times in the past few months. It's best to get it for ~$20 for everything.

Not asking for a buying guide, obviously the best time to buy the game is on sale. But that doesn't justify 3 years old game is being sold for full price.

Because Ubisoft knows this price is justified. And I think same.

You think charging full price for a 3 year old game is justified because its a good game? Thats some EA ♥♥♥♥ right there.

Marketing 101 - If it continues to sell at full price keep it at full price... simple. So many games on Steam no matter how long ago they released at still at full release price.

I can out full price game you. Skyrim has been around from around 2011 and was up graded to Skyrim SE, 64-bit in 2016. Same game just slightly upgraded visuals with God Rays and to this day it is still full price.

The developers got pay for those "free" patches somehow.

I had a friend who owned an upscale restaurant.

He always said, you charge as much as you can and still keep the seats full. He was very good at doing that, I never went there that it wasn't packed, because he had Great food.

It's the same with games.

Ok you officially out full priced me as Skyrim has gone down to $39.99 US dollars. Darn I thought I had won. In my defense it was full priced for a very long time.
