TheDarkKratos Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 (edited) As per the title of this topic. And apologies in advance if there is already one on the subject. But does anyone know why certain PS3/Vita/PS4/PS5 digital games are NEVER on sale? I mean... never! Examples - Flynn & Freckles (NA & EU), Shift Quantum (NA & EU). These are just 2 games I have watched for about 2 years. And they have, to the best of my knowledge, never been reduced in price. Is this the developers idea, or Sony's? Just curious. Plus, both titles are PSN only. No retail discs available either Also - can anyone think of any others? Thanks for any input Edited December 16, 2023 by TheDarkKratos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post djb5f Posted October 23, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 23, 2022 I am sure there are quite a few, especially those games that aren’t really supported by the devs/publishers on just in the store mostly forgotten. I bet a lot of the cheap shovelware games have never gone on sale to your question. Here are two sites that have the history. I’ve found mistakes in the past but they are largely very accurate. https://platprices.com/ https://en.psprices.com/region-us/index 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shintetsuken Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Stardew Valley, ugh, I check every week and will immediately buy it when it goes on sale. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ShadeSplit Posted October 23, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 23, 2022 https://www.ign.com/articles/why-indie-publishers-fed-up-playstation That probably has at least something to do with it. Elliot Quest has never been on sale on the PSN, but the Switch version was on sale for 9 cents, despite being released after the PlayStation version. So I find it difficult to believe the developer doesn't want the game to go on sale. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we honestly supposed to believe that the likes of Random Spin and Gilson Pontes get regularly invited to participate in sales but legitimate indie devs don't? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vermilion_Joker Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 DJMax Respect never goes on sale, but the game and its DLC have gone on sale on Steam more than once. I love rhythm games, but not sure how I feel spending 50$, plus 20$ for a single pack to get closer to 100% completion (and numerous ones at that, no less). Buying everything full price would be insanely expensive, I may as well just skip over it or buy other stuff to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I also find it difficult to believe they are inviting those developers to participate in sales. But then again, I'm not sure why Gilson B Pontes games are on the store to begin with, especially considering they don't seem to be on any other platform. I wish there were clear answers, but most of the time what we read doesn't really add up, so all we can do is speculate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarioMan200 Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 The Turrican anthology vol 1 and 2 hasn't gone on sale at least once since they came out.

Popular Post theSpirae Posted October 25, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 25, 2022 Some of the DLCs/Season Passes. It reached the point it's cheaper to buy the Complete/Goty edition even if you already have the base game. One of the reasons I stopped buying new games and wait for Complete/Goty editions. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
