video games are even unreasonably priced when on sale

>wanted to buy AAA with all dlc last sale
>80% off
>$45
>not even a strategy or simulation game
jesus christ.
I aint buying anything on sale thats more than $11.99

Just use cdkeys you dumb nigger

All of those games came out less than 5 months ago.

>>713962220
no china
just no

>>713962030 (OP)
These are all brand new games. Instead, get some games that have had time to go down in price, like Bioshock, Borderlands 2, Left 4 Dead 2, Portal, and Magicka.

>>713962030 (OP)
nah the only unreasonable one here is avowed

Yeah some of these are really non-sales. They look like "deals" but they couldn't be further from it.
>$89.99
>-$10
Now the price is just $79.99 wow much savings lol.

>>713962030 (OP)
>2025
wait 2 to 4 years

video game publishers are getting to be like amazon where they're just gonna keep jacking up the fake msrp so they can have "huge sales"

>>713962030 (OP)
you should not buy any video game that is not 40 bucks or below

>>713962451
why the fuck is it so expensive lmao

>>713962030 (OP)
It's the "-20% off sale" this year.

>>713962552
>$60 + deluxe editions $15 + pre order bonus $5 + 2 season passes $20 + $20 + 3 dlc that came out after last season pass $10 + $10 + $10 = $150
>game goes on sale for %60 OFF!!!!!!
>$150 * (100 - 60)% = $60
geez thanks for the 60% sale guys. I sure appreciate the fact that I can now buy this game for $60

>>713962786
do u rike?

>>713962552
I miss when the base price would go down on 5 year 10 year 20 year milestones.
remember when old AAA games from 20 years ago were sold for $7 bucks?

>>713962030 (OP)
>Aussie dollars

>>713962831
ni hao nigga

>>713962220
Is that site actually reliable? I’ve heard mixed reviews from here.

>>713962942
no its not
it depends on which seller you buy from, most are legit but if you happen upon a scammer you won't get a refund

>>713962890
ye cunt

>>713962890
yeah nah, mate

>>713962030 (OP)
>>713962552
>games that came out a few months ago
>expect them to drop the price to 10 bucks
yeah not shit retards why would anyone do that? Wait a couple of years then you actually see some actual discounts on these games

>>713962980
This anon is a fucking liar btw. I’ve bought hundreds of games from that site and never once had an issue. Scammers are quickly found out and kicked off the site so I don’t know what he could be referring to

>>713962942
In all these cases, the games are bought in cheaper countries and sold at a profit. The higher the profit, the more likely they're just using stolen cards. If you look at SteamDB, they're usually priced just a smidge higher than the cheapest region. A game like Fantasy Life I, which offers nearly no regional pricing, isn't even available

>>713962030 (OP)
>all recently released games
I'm surprised they even went on sale at all

>>713962942
yea. it's not one of those market places where anyone can sell keys and they don't have hidden fees on everything

>want to pick up hoi4 dlc on sale
>still eight trillion dollars
>just steal it instead
nice job, paradox

What about gog-games?

>>713963352
in my testing, even though the file hashes are the same, installing an iso downloaded from gog does not result in an update from gog galaxy, but installing the same iso from gog-games does result in galaxy finding a need to update the files.
I dont know what they are feeding the hash algorithm but they are hiding something

>>713962334
All these games have been cheaper in the past.
As another anon pointed out in another thread, if you're done buying those old good games for peanuts, you are left with shit deals where most games are cheaper on consoles, even more so if you look physical.
Steam sales arent good and the seasonal sales are even terrible.

>>713963317
>paradox
>wallet friendly deals
this nigga 4 real?

>>713963808
desu i didn't expect anything for the steam sale, but not too long ago they had a bundle with most of the eu4 dlc right before they launched a new dlc, so im hoping for something similar to happen with hoi
>check when this actually was
nvm it was 2022 lmao

>>713963214
suss

>>713964295
Go and find me 3 examples of people being scammed with proof.

>>713962942
Just use gg deals

>I aint buying anything on sale thats more than $11.99
As you say so, brownoid

>>713963459
Dang, I wanted to install a game on a drive that doesnt have steam on it, mostly for security reasons

>>713962030 (OP)
>recent releases aren't discounted super high
Noooooooooo really.

>>713962030 (OP)
>mfw Dark Souls 3 price
glad I played it on ps4 for like $15

>>713962030 (OP)
>wanting Avowed.
What's wrong with you Anon?

>>713965485

>>713965427
i bought at 10 dollars back then. bandai has definitely made the game on sale for very cheap but why not now?
I think i know the reason and its pretty obvious, they dont want you to buy the DS games, they want you to get Elden Ring as their big new IP.

>>713962451
>Defending Oblivionslop
Todd...

>>713962334
All of those have been cheaper in previous sales lol

>>713967610
defending avowed is even more embarrassing

i think the point is that this is what new games used to cost

I miss when new games were 50-60 bucks. 120 for Avowed is fucking mental..

>>713962980
wrong site, you've never used it

>>713962220
>steam "sale"
>game is $15
>go to cdkeys
>it's $3
thanks cdbros

>>713962030 (OP)
If you put any game in your cart that isn't at least 50% off then we are not homies.

NOOOOOOO WHY AREN'T RECENTLY RELEASED GAMES PRICED AT 90% OFF

THIS GAME JUST RELEASED LAST MONTH BUT SHOULD HAVE A DISCOUNT OF 90%

SALES HAVE FALLEN, BILLIONS MUST DIE

>>713968729
I remember Half Life 2 for the xbox was 110 bucks in my local eb games for years. I also couldn't find Halo 3 for under 90, again for years. PC was the only place with consistently reasonable prices. Not defending anything, just saying prices in Australia have always been fucked.

>>713969516
calm down gaben

>>713962030 (OP)
all "mostly positive" games are trash

>>713962030 (OP)
3 of these are on gamepass.
God Avowed was so fucking good I am still remembering the feeling of being stuck in the exploration loop for hours without end. That's a fucking videogame man. Fucking love 3d platform exploring.

>>713962030 (OP)
I mean yeah, just pirate if you don't wanna pay. I only buy games that I think are priced reasonably
