The game is 4 months old, 25% off on a sale is to be expected. The majority of a games sales are always heavily frontloaded.

Tell that to Elden Ring and PC Red Dead and fucking where’s my PC Returnal sale for a copy for my partner

Red Dead Redemption 2? I got that on PC for like AUD$20 6 months ago (RRP AUD$120). Elden Ring on PC has been half price at least plenty of times already.

Returnal is Sony who don't like to drop their prices too much, but it has also been on sale for half price.

None of those are in four months, though. Especially RDR2 hahaha

Elden Ring has gone on sale… twice. Only once for half price (when I bought it)

When did Returnal go on sale? It’s been on my partner’s wishlist forever.

RDR2 was 20% off within a month on pc.

Diablo 4 is the 4th best selling game in the USA this year. Sales are not an issue for Diablo.

Also Steam isn’t the only place you can buy steam keys.
