Anthem? Immortals of Avuem? Starfield? Forspoken? Pretty much every bad game discounts early, because word of mouth spreads, independent reviewers review, amd sales plummet. Even Starfield had a 25% discount about a month after release once people realized the magic was missing.

massively popular

Pretty much every bad game discounts early

We're saying the same thing. Bad games drop in price early.

Did you just call anthem a "massively popular title"

[–] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 1 points 8 months ago
