I was curious about street fighter games again, then I saw the price tag.. and the 90% discounts whenever they apply them..

I'd never ever buy a game that offers 50-90% discounts. I assume it's a nothing more then a cashgrab

bye Capcom.. you were fun in the past, and that's where you shall stay.

    What's the age of the game? 75-90% discounts on steam aren't uncommon for games more than 5-10 years old.

    Yeah it’s veeeery flawed logic for steam. Most people don’t buy games unless they’re on sale, and the only way to make the sales attractive over a long time is to keep raising the discount

    Lol ok. That's some dumb reasoning not to play a good game. I guess you never play anything old, and prefer to get ripped off? And when you finally can get the games at a good value, you snub your nose, assuming something has to be wrong with it to be that cheap? You're doing a ton of mental gymnastics for no reason.

    Publishers often give steep discounts on the older games in a property to generate hype and sales before a new entry is released.

    I never played dead rising when it originally came out. I picked up the first one for 95% off when the remake came out. It ended up being one of my favorite games. If I used your logic, I'd overspend on everything, and I'd never find games I missed like that.

    I've never seen an Indy dev have 90% off, and 80 DLCs... only aaaaa slop does this.

    hence my discount comment. high discount = red flag on game is either dead, abandoned, or about to be replaced with the copypaste+1 title of the game.

    I'm not knocking sales, just aaaaaaa crap sales since they almost always use 50-90% whereas indy devs seem to be 10-30%.

    Isn't the point of modern fighting games to get you to buy the dlc which never has as good sales as the regular game. Like they need you to have the game so that you can spend more than you paid for the game for the meta characters

    Im from. the times when you just playedthe game to unlock things, not paid more to unlock access to it.

    I'm just fed up and done with these studios and I refuse to give them any leeway or breaks anymore

    they purposely cripple their products to attempt to extract more from the end user, so I purposely voice my opinion on why they are horrible games from horrible companies.
