No, these bastards have been price gouging games for way too long and need a reckoning.

It’s advertising. Most people see that percentage discount and think they’re getting a deal.

Want more than a mild infuriation? Look at how much they charge for the Assassin’s Creed games.

    Discounts are great and often showcase what actual pricing on a game should be.

    I just took this screenshot of current pricing:

    The screenshot above is from the Xbox store.

    PSN is the same, although the search layout will differ and not make it seem as egregious. It very much is egregious.

    If you’re subscribed to PS+ Premium, the search will hide the price behind an “included” banner.

    Here’s a PlayStation Store screenshot from a browser without signing in:
