Its for the people that only buy when its a “good deal”. Its usually for old games that are well liked or for newer games that are maybe a year old now. The non sale price is for people who can’t wait for the discount. Sorta like waiting for a movie to go to video/streaming rather than go to the theater.
I’m not rich but I’m definitely not poor. I only buy video games when they’re like $30 CAD or less. Only time I went against this rule was for Baldurs Gate.
141 hours of gameplay from start to finish and local split screen coop campaign. Probably the best gaming experience I’ve had together with my wife. Absolutely worth it at full price.

So what you are saying is that it is only a marketing move to appeal to poorer people?
Frugality does not imply a lack of wealth.
I would think it usually implies the opposite
We cannot get it because we are not rich but rich people aren’t frugal they don’t wait a videogame to drop 5$ in price to buy it
They don’t have to, but still can purchase the lower priced game, to get the same sale as you or me. Hence, frugality.

Hard agree. Too risky these days but bg3 was a sure bet.

You can also view it as a strategy to extract more money from richer people, without sacrificing all the poorer customers.
