Any massively popular titles being discontinued heavily and early that you can think of?

Diablo 4 got 40% off within a few months I find AAA games are increasingly starting with a high price point to capitalize on the hype and advertising campaign, and once that peters out they quickly reduce the price.

Wasn't Diablo 4 kinda trash as well? Just looking on steam and it's rated mixed, with people complaining about the monetisation of the game.

It's a shame what Blizzard has become, because they used to make amazing games.

Gotta distinguish popularity from ratings.
Diablo 4 is maybe a mediocre game, but it sold truckloads.
