Why is this game on sale?

[Roundabout]

Did something negative happen? Is it not selling enough?

It doesn't seem like its been out long enough to be 25% off.

I was totally surprised as well. The game was just released on 20th March and it's already on sale?

Is sales of the game much lower than anticipated or it's just Beth trying to push for more copies sold quickly to please their investors?

Worth the full price, This game kick-ass, with the right Rig it runs Gory Gorgeous!! and at 25% off, what you waiting for? Get it.

Looks like Zenimax made the initial profit they needed, so now they've reduced pricing to sell even more copies while the iron is hot and people are still mostly stuck at home. It makes perfect sense really.

It's a time limited sale, so it's more of a marketing strategy to keep people interested and increase amount of potential DLC buyers, I think.

The game didn't need to go on sale yet, I'm sure people were buying it at full price still.

Bro its bethesda.. Just wait 3 months and game will be -50% or more...

[TyresTyco]

I'm kinda shocked to see this tbh. But I should have expected it. Damn. Bethesda sure as hell won't get the full release money from me anymore.

why not?

It's a Bethesda thing.
They did the same with New Colossus: 50% off 3 weeks after release:

Rage 2 1 day after release:

To be fair nether of those 2 games were good.

Well ♥♥♥♥, If I just held out a little longer. This isn't a good sign for the game, I think they need to do a major overhaul on this

Stop being delusional. Doom 2016 got -40% a month after it was released. It has nothing to do with supposedly poor sales or the game being 'bad'. The game is great and its sales even improved compared to 2016.

[Coops]

$60 is not the full price. $45 is the full price and $60 is the sucker price for people who want it so badly they will pay a premium. Once the initial sales start to go slack they drop the price to the one that will last 12-18 months then drop it again to $30, then $20.

Yup. Rage, Rage 2, Doom 2016, FO76, and ESO have all gone on sale within 2-ish months of launch. Game will for sure be on sale during the Steam summer sale and Quakecon. Doom Eternal going on sale at least 3 times within 6 months is par for the course.
