Steam prices staying high?

[Scougar]

I've noticed something for a while now. The prices of games on steam seem to be staying at release price or close to it for a crazy amount of time. Example: Cyberpunk. This has been out for a long time now, and it's still full price. There are many other examples. Sniper Elite 4 released in 2017... full price.

I can only assume this is to make it look like games are way cheaper on 'sale' times, but really, it is just pushing me to buy the same game at half price, on another platform, like EPIC. Which I really don't want to, but money talks.

Thoughts?

Indeed. I normally use G2A for keys when I do. Prices are high there as well though.

CD Keys for years. You know you can activate the key on Steam, right?

Even Steam sales are rubbish the last few years, I don't even look at them anymore.

Yes. I normally use G2A. Lately, they've not been as good.
