It’s beyond insane to me that a $70 “AAAA” game (kidding, it’s AAA) dips down to the absurd price of $5. I’ve never seen anything like it. Wish the entire Sims 4 “collection” if you can call it that was $5 total, would be incredible, or Starfield.

    It’s about volume.

    Selling a thing to a million people for $5 makes more money than selling it to a thousand people for $70.

    They’ll most likely return the price to $70 before long, so they can pick up a few whales who miss this sale and aren’t patient enough to wait for the next one.

      Then… Why not just price it correctly to begin with? Huh… I’d buy some of these newer games if they cost a reasonable amount. Starfield out here charging $70 for a 5.5/10 game
