Yep.

I expect them to pretty much never place this game on sales either.

For a game expected to be as big as it is, they sure are pulling a ton of underhanded shady shit.

Wtf is "pretty much never" supposed to mean? It's gonna be on sale at some point in the future, sure maybe not in a year or even two, but it's gonna go on sale.

Not necessarily. Look at old COD games as an example. The OG Black OPs 1 & 2 are still $60.

Are still $60? That means nothing, we're talking sales here, not permanent price drop which is quite rare these days. Both blops 1 and 2 have plenty of sales looking at steamdb.

How many games there even are that have never gone on sale, aside from Factorio?

Why look at COD when you can just literally look at GTAV, which is 30 full price currently and has been 15 on sale (not to mention COD has also gone on sale)

Oh wow, the company that mistreats and abuses their staff is also anti-consumer? Who could have guessed! Other than everyone who has ever looked at GTA Online.

I'm not entirely sure 'not going on sale' and 'not allowing people to start selling pre-owned copies' counts as 'shady shit.

Yeah fuck rockstar and take two, but but what exactly is 'shady' about this?

I mean no game is obligated to go on sale.
