Why is a 5 year old game....

[MotherVicar]

still 60 bucks?

[spy]

because they can get more discounts as the days pass. the most they got was 50 percent. you should put it on your wishlist and wait.

for example, i bought the dark souls 3 package with 87 percent discount back then.

yeah for a price that should be the default by now....

Because most games, especially succesful ones, never change their base price outside of sales, and I still don't understand why anyone believes they do.

believes? well the funny thing with that is, believe has nothing to do with it...you name me a succesful game that never dropped price and ill counter with one that has, we will see how lasts longer ;)

But to just start off, Dark Souls 1 and 2
Assassins Creed, all but the last.
Far Cry... all of them.
Half Life 1 and 2
L4D 1 and 2
Stalker...all of them, (not 2 obviously)
GTA, all of them

DaS: Remastered, which is based on a 13-year-old game and used primarily to entice people coming down from Elden Ring to try the older games, and DaS2 the broken ass port with the durability bugs that were never fixed, and same as above, used to promote better sales due to Elden Ring.

And then let’s go down that list. Assassin’s Creed, copy and paste, literally lowering base price to have people move over to their own digital distribution platform and getting the new and shiny AC that they'll heavily promote with it. Far Cry, cutting base price for older games to promote their current release. Half Life, in their home platform and one of the oldest games in it too. L4D a game that requires a healthy population of players to be on at all times. Stalker, promoting their current game and promoting a healthy population. And the GTA's, with some of the greediest whale games ever, see the Assassin's Creed situation above.

Any more you want to very blindly cherry pick in a veritable ocean of games that never see a price cut unless during a sale? Not to mention that all of these price cuts are done over marketing strategy to either try to sell you something else or to have them be the something else you buy on top of the full priced thing. Sekiro has none of those things, is not as old as most of the games you’ve mentioned, and still sells well at 50% off during sales. What reason would any sensible business person have to change that and cut the base price off? They aren’t promoting anything else with Sekiro being cheaper and it doesn’t need a population to keep working either.

I may not agree with most of these business decisions but you acting like this is somehow the exception when I can instead show you how and why every one of your picked games IS the exception, is getting very tiring and ridiculous. Either pay the 50%, pirate the damn thing, or stop moaning.

No game is worth 60 bucks... unfortunately video games are overpriced, all of them. I tried this specific game of Sekiro on PS5 and is nowhere as good as dark souls game. I personally think this game should be at most 30 bucks without sale.

The game apparently sells well enough for 60 USD or sells well enough during 30-50% sales that they don't feel the need to do a 90% discount. It's not like they didn't reduce the base price or did bigger sales yet because they just don't want to sell the game anymore.

You'll be waiting for another 5 years if you're planning to wait for a 80-90% sale. 30 USD is a fine price for this game, so if you're interested, you should just grab it.
