Just from a pure capitalistic standpoint.
What do people think has the best chance to generator a sequel or other good game from the studio. The game that sold 1 000 000 copies at full price or the game that sold 1 000 000 copies, most at stupid discount price like $15.
For a lot of games that fast goes to the discount bin the amount of copies sold doesn’t actually matter to if they get a sequel or the studio will make another ”masterpiece”. The discount bin is almost never to be ”nice” to gamers but mostly a damage control move.
