    Can someone explain videogames sales to me? How can a game be 12$ and 8.99$ the day after?

      Its for the people that only buy when its a “good deal”. Its usually for old games that are well liked or for newer games that are maybe a year old now. The non sale price is for people who can’t wait for the discount. Sorta like waiting for a movie to go to video/streaming rather than go to the theater.

        So what you are saying is that it is only a marketing move to appeal to poorer people?

          I’m not rich but I’m definitely not poor. I only buy video games when they’re like $30 CAD or less. Only time I went against this rule was for Baldurs Gate.
