    That would make them look like jerks though. And Valve is basically just a storefront which is very generic. The only thing that keeps Valve successful against its many competitors is not looking like a jerk.

        They imply that your original price is dishonest. The same reason everyone hates CVS and Black Friday “deals”.

          I didn’t realize that was controversial for the general population.

          It kind of looks to me like most people love sales, Amazon Prime day and black Friday.

            Thats different to me because it only happens to older titles. I do find the perpetual sale titles to be obnoxious too, yes.
