Bonjour @gog can you explain why games that are over 10 years old are still priced at their original release price? I don’t understand this “sale” principle when a gradual price reduction over time would make pricing easier to understand.
FR:
Pouvez-vous nous expliquer pourquoi des jeux de plus de 10 ans sont toujours au prix de sortie ? Je ne comprends pas ce principe de “soldes” alors qu’une baisse de tarifs au fur et à mesure du temps permettrait une meilleure compréhension des prix.

    @Blackmist I don’t understand what you mean, nor how it relates to GOG. Also, for me, a promotion on a game that’s over 10 years old and costs the same as when it was released doesn’t seem like a bargain. On the contrary, I see scam.

      Well it relates to all stores, because the publisher sets the prices, not the store.

      It used to be a thing that you set the price high before a sale, then advertise it as “80% off” or whatever.

      But since GamePass and PSPlus Premium became a thing, the price is high all the time. I’m sure they’ve been told to do that to make £10 a month to play all those 3 year old games seem better value, when you can’t buy them for a good price outside the designated sales. Maybe they’re paid more if it’s a full price game, no matter how old it is.
