It's beyond insane to me that a $70 "AAAA" game (kidding, it's AAA) dips down to the absurd price of $5. I've never seen anything like it. Wish the entire Sims 4 "collection" if you can call it that was $5 total, would be incredible, or Starfield.

Because it's two years old?

No it's the damn autumn sale right now. AAA games stay at full price for years when not on sale.

Only if they're good games that people are still interested in playing. Crappy games slash prices all the time. Exhibit A: Suicide Squad

If it were just the Autumn sale, stuff like Space Marines II would have a steeper discount and frankly that sale is more than a little aenemic.

There are obviously variations in the sales.

And because it was kind of a shitty game.
