Eventually everything will just be "on-sale" all the time. Want to sell your little puzzle game for $5 a pop? List it at $20 and put it on sale nearly permanently for 75% off. You immediately get the benefit of this being a "$20 game" in the eye of the consumer as well.
- PeterisP 13y agoThis really is an expected outcome, since people do fall for this effect. It'll be interesting how Steam will handle that, since that practice is explicitly illegal in many places as misleading advertising - i.e, you can advertise something as x% off only if it really was offered at that higher price for some fixed period; and those laws can interpret Steam as the store responsible for it.
