    Baldurs Gate 3 is 25% off. I’ve been waiting for bigger sale but don’t think it’s coming soon.

      That game is not going to reach 50% for another 2 - 3 years, I’m afraid.

      At worst, it may be one of those games where it could be 10 years old and still be 35% off.

        Generally, companies are trying to maximise profit, which means that the price will be reduced only when it’s stopped selling at the previous and they want to make sales the next, more price-conscious, segment of the market. They might want some quick bucks if the company is in financial trouble, or to ‘make the news’ with a sale if they need some publicity.

        BG3 sold shedloads, is still selling shedloads, was on multiple games-of-the-year list and generally ranks amongst the best games of all time, often at the top; and Larian seem sufficiently flush with cash from the success of it. So like you say, don’t hold your breath waiting for a big sale, it doesn’t make sense for them to do that.

          We’ll see. They make more money than I do, so supporting them isn’t exactly a reason to give them my money.
