Many switch games get deep discounts too, and you can get free 1st party titles if you borrow a physical copy. That's a pretty weak argument.

    many games on the switch get big discounts, absolutely

    games published by nintendo? not so much

    and by the thing you mean about getting free games with borrowing a physical copy. im assuming you’re talking about the gold points, which have been removed some time ago now

    I've never seen the Zelda from 2017 go lower than 50€, USED. Great deep discount for an 8 years old game!

    Maybe not as deep a cut, but certainly cheaper than the above comment's claim that the game has never been below €50.

    They didn't say it was never below €50, they said they had never personally seen it below €50.

    I may have worded my comment poorly and in an exaggerated tone since used copies can be found on vinted/ebay in between 35-45 (I was thinking about typical mall retail stores), but that's still an incredibly steep price for what's probably one of the most sold - thus widely available - games on the platform. The "all time low" isn't really a good indicator, either, as others comments pointed out: just because a product gets a deep discount, once, doesn't mean everyone is ready at that exact moment in time and space to hop on it and buy it.

    A used price from reputable sellers (meaning, stores who can provide some sort of warranty) of 50-60 is just batshit crazy for a used ten years old game.

    Not sure if that's the right link (lol) but the prices you quoted here are way off. All of them are €58+.

    Scroll down to price history, not just current prices. Just because it isn't on sale right now doesn't mean it never has been.

    These results may depend on your region, looks like you are both seeing different prices

    Do you want to play it or do you collect games? If you want to play it then you can sell it afterwards. No rush because it’s not getting any discounts so it holds value quite well.

    I’ve bought my copy for €37:
