Why is this game on sale?

Did something negative happen? Is it not selling enough?

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

I believe it sold very well and I am seeing more and more games go on sale not soon after launch regardless on how successful they are. I don't quite get it myself. I've read that the most any game will make at full price is within the first 2 weeks of its launch and after that sales drop off until it gets reduced in price. Maybe this is why.

no game is worth 60 Dollars.

most i would pay for a game is 30. In reality there is so much else to play or do outside of gaming that i can wait for every game to drop to 15 before i buy.

And when it's 15, its fully patched and bug free....

People do research, they find out the best times to change prices to maximize profit. That's all that's going on here. But tbh it isnt worth full price.

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.

In this case though the game isn't up to snuff with 2016.

The only real problem with DE is amount of bugs on release. Gameplay wise it's million times better than 2016.

Ignore the fandom menace.

If it was selling, it wouldn't need this kind of sale so soon. RDR2 did the same thing.

I just don't get the kids that show up and go "nu-uh, like wut I like. dey did a gud." And of course the game is terrible and broken and everyone else hates it.

Why the sale? Pretty obvious. People will buy the base game on sale, id will release DLC later they want and buy for the full DLC price. The game isn't in a 100% complete state anyway, as many promised features were delayed past release, so this is probably a reaction to that as well. Who knows, who cares, it's on sale. Not like there's anything wrong with the existing content.

Normal Bethesda procedure. They always follow almost the exact same pricing ups and downs for the first year or so, no matter how well or poorly the game is selling.

It's sold about twice as many copies, in under two months, as Doom (2016) did in the first year. And that's after Doom (2016) went under $20 several times in those two years. That's also *just* on Steam, and doesn't count all the physical and collectors edition copies that are Bethnet versions - which wasn't a launch option for Doom (2016).

Digital distribution sales aren't like retail sales where they are used to clear out inventory to make room for new things. They don't "need" to put low volume products on sale if they aren't performing. There's no overhead, no warehousing costs, nothing. Those kinds of classical sales models like "it's not selling, so put it on sale" aren't a driving force in digital distribution, and to attempt to apply them in the same way is erroneous at best, dishonest at worst.

Still way fewer, and far less severe, bugs than Doom (2016) had - like the one that triggered OCP/OVP on some motherboards and hard shut down your system, generally for 5-10 minutes unless you cleared your CMOS. Myself and one of the other main troubleshooters from the Doom (2016) forums have actually been lamenting the lack of widespread client-side bugs in Eternal - we used to have fun figuring out solutions.
