"Steam" doesn't decide to have discounted sales -- games are heavily discounted because developers compete against one another for attention. Nintendo and Sony generally have less need to do this.
- mrec 10mo agoDoes that distinction matter? Seems like a simple case of open platform -> more competition -> lower prices.
- npinsker 10mo agoIt does not :)
- mschuster91 10mo ago> Nintendo and Sony generally have less need to do this. The prime Nintendo games (i.e. Animal Crossing, Pokemon and anything Mario related) are rarely discounted, yes - and Nintendo can do this because these games have borderline drooling fanbases and the games aren't available anywhere else. But everything else? There's constantly something on sale on the Switch store.
