Enebias: Because [...] people are still buying it at full price, so the devs have no reason to lower it.
Perfectly reasonable behaviour from a business stand point.
You don't devalue your product, as long as you don't "have to".
If there's still satisfying revenue to be made at full price (= the "full price market" isn't saturated, yet), you'd only "cut into your own flesh" by prematurely lowering the price.

Sachys: Its very niche - few people have ever heard of it and you may have to make your own graphics card to ensure you can play it.
Ooooooh, I remember the OP now!
Still around I see! Glad to know some things never change! XD

Oriza-Triznyák: Don't waste your money on that overhyped game . Look for better ones in the Gog catalog .
How can a game be overhyped when it has already released lol? hype is the result of marketing campaigns, trailers and all that

Enebias: Because it had a ridiculously huge success and people are still buying it at full price, so the devs have no reason to lower it.
Well, there it is.

TheNamelessOne_PL: I would really like to purchase Baldur's Gate 3 but it never seems to go on sale. Why? Why is that the case?
This is a staring contest. Who breaks first, you or Baldur's Gate 3?

Tne answer is: you. It will get a deep discount right after you've bought the game, but not before. I am pretty sure they've even set a specific automatic trigger for that, it is just waiting for you to purchase the game. Sometimes they do shit like that.

This is false.

The game is just too new for a substantial discount

I remember when Divinity 2 was less than 1€, and the developers are the same, probably with the same design philosophy at the base..

Every purchase in attention capitalism is a stare contest!
P.S. It happened to me with "Hitman Blood Money". Hurried to get it at as low as 2€...then it plummeted at 1€ after a few days and stayed there. Not much loss though (but mathematically it was another 50% drop!)
