Steam is currently headlining Rockstar games for 80% off, but the highest sale is 75%. This is a crime in my country.

The information is correct if you look at the games page;

"Up to 80% off"
"This third-party event is presented by Rockstar Games"
"Buy Red Dead Redemption 2: Ultimate Edition
SPECIAL PROMOTION! Offer ends February 6

-80% $99.99
$19.99"

RDR2 Ultimate is a great deal at 80% off.

When accusing X of a crime, have proof of said crime first.

Even a claim of "upto" must in several regions include at least one item being sold at that 80% off within those regions. This is something several Steam sales have failed at.

In my region, none of the titles included anywhere within the promotional page is 80% off -- the highest featured discount is 75%. And that would indeed count as false advertising. It doesn't matter if a specific version of the game is 80% off elsewhere on the site, that specific discounted package must be included somewhere within the promotional sale page(s) for it to not be considered false advertising.

Then go ahead and visit your local police station, tell the officer on duty: "Those people on the internet are doing something illegal! They're have an illegal sale!"

Report back.

The Police would be the wrong place.

If you have issues with advertising you should inform the trade commission in your country, as they are the ones who might give out the fines related to braking trade laws.

I was under the impression that you understood what this answer was supposed to mean.

RDR2 Ultimate is 80% off.
That's the 80%.

In which region is RDR 2 Ultimate not 80%? I've looked it up and asked several friends in various regions (inculding a few in Asia) and they all said it's 80%.

SteamDB also shows that.

This was just an excuse to dunk on Steam and get a round of applause. Nothing more.

Good thing knee jerk reactions aren't. And hopefully not false accusations either.
