Valvecu'cks will find a way to defend this.
>>318053273
Literally criminal.
>>318053273
No, no one will defend this. Everyone knows and hates it.
>>318053273
This is illigal in plenty of countries so no one will defend it, if they do they are retarded
Americlucks, worshippers of corporations, capitalism and all things Mammon, WILL defend this, saying "everyone does it"
Valve doesn't set the prices.
>>318053273
What the fuck goes in between cu and uck? Do you know how to punctuation, son?
The free market will sort things out.
>>318053583
Some UK watchdog found GTA pricing during previous sales to be misleading. What happened to Rockstar? Nothing, no one cares about this.
>>318053583
Where have you been the past couple months? C uck, fa m and tb h are filtered.
>>318053583
4chan now changes the word cu'ck (without the apostrophe) to kek.
>>318053760
>months

>>318053760
It's actually only been a few weeks.

Thanks guys I'll let everyone at 9gag know :^)
>he still buys directly on steam
>he doesn't key his keys cheap on websites like g2play or instant gaming
>b-b-but muh steam refund !
Don't buy a game if you're unsure about it's quality. Pirate it and then buy it.
>>318053273
Valve has nothing to do with pricing. How the fuck do people know so little about video games?
>>318053273
they defend SJW games, so....
>>318053963
This. Are these people the "master race" I've heard so much about?
Do we have a list of games that have done this with evidence?
This is exactly how Black Friday works in Brazil.
>>318053273
Literally doesnt happen. People claimed the same thing during summer sale, all were provened wrong, false, or a game coming out of Early Access
If it were to happen, that's definitely insanely illegal as fuck
>Wreckfest
Early Access
>Auto Dealership Tycoon
Added big new content patch where they think it justifies an additional $1who the fuck are they kidding? This is totally illegal unless they claim the additional content is "DLC" that old users get for free
>Epistory
Early Access, added 2nd chapter just now
I remember in the summer people try claiming things like wolfsten TNO was $45 which was never the case. Steamspy is just baiting cause he knows OP will post shit.
>>318053273
Rockstar did this with GTA5 last year.
how is this a bad thing again?
companies need to make money somehow
>>318053375
>Literally criminal.
Indeed, users should report it to the relevant institutes in their country, the Trading Standards in the UK for instance.
For the benefit of dummies, if Steam sells games to UK residents it's bound by UK law in said dealings, so don't post braindead replies like "LIKE STEAM CARES ABOUT A BRITBONG LAW KEK".
>>318053760
you're a kek desu senpai
>>318053636
Go back to Reddit
>>318054531
Well it doesn't happen so there's nothing to worry about
There is literally nothing wrong with being Jewish.
>>318054769
>Well it doesn't happen
What doesn't happen?
>>318054796
Shut up, moneyfag.
>>318053273
Here in Brazil it's allowed and the customer is the one meant to look up price histories. And honestly that's how it should be in your "liberal economy". I am not saying it's a good practice and I am not defending it, but suing them is just stupid.
Can't you just judge based on the price if you want to buy the game? So what if they up the price before a sale if it gets lowered anyway from the sale.
Also
>buying games
>>318054796
>Blaming Valve and not the Developers
Are you people retarded or just pretending?
bypassing the filters is bannable.
There must be a "prices are subject to change without notice" clause in the user agreement you just checked without reading when registering on Steam?
>>318055220
tbhsu fampai it's not
>>318053963
Valve is ultimately responsible for approving and putting these prices up in their online store.
>>318055172
>muh valve
>muh gaben
Valve basically lets the publishers do what they want since they get a cut anyway.
kek desu senpai
>>318055220
Shut up Ćucky.
>>318055424
kekold to be honest family
>>318053273
>tfw this doesnt affect you because it doesnt matter if the game is on sale or not, ill only buy it when it goes down to a specific price, which varies according to the game.
>wreckfest
wow a compnay behind a shit game does shit things big suprise
>>318053737
Nothing happened to Rockstar but Valve were warned not to let it happen again. This is Valves responsibility even if it doesn't set the prices
>>318053273
Regular stores do this. This is nothing new
>>318055220
It's not. The janitors and moderation staff do not care if you bypass filters, the point of word filters was just to fuck with epic memesters who like to repeat the same words.
Saying what you're saying is akin to "it's bannable to disable music on 4chan" on days with music boards.
>>318055220
Bypassing spam or postfilters, i.e. filters that stop you from posting. The filters that stop shitty links to virus and ad shit.
These aren't those kind of filters.
>>318054518
so you're saying there's nothing wrong with companies raising their prices to make a game look more affordable when discounted, when in reality it cost about the same as it did without discount?
If you're gonna do this shit you might as well not discount your game to begin with
>>318053273
lolwut how does he know that?
>>318055363
Valve lets publishers do what they want because they're just the distributor. Blaming Valve for pricing is like blaming Target or Best Buy.
>>318055058
>but suing them is just stupid
How, you dumb shit? Are you seriously triyng to say anarcho-capitalism is the way to go, any time, anywhere? Are you fucking retarded? Did your crackwhore of a mother drop you or is this a recent development?
>>318056017
There are plenty of sites/people out there who keep track of Steam sales/prices.
>>318056130
That, and the guy posting it literally runs one of those sites.

>>318053273
>Wreckfest
>Auto Dealership Tycoon
>Epistory
Those all sound like shit games no one would ever want to buy anyway
>>318056320
Wreckfest is pretty fun
>>318053963
>nothing to do with pricing
>decides flash sales and daily sales are finished
>decides when all the big sales of the year take place
They gave incredible control over pricing, they just don't price each individual game themselves
>>318059438
>have
>>318053273
that has nothing to do with Valve, they dont set the prices retard. The devs/pulbishers do. Blame the individual devs who do this
>>318053760
Mods must be super fucking salty of being called çucks I suppose.
>>318053273
Only Americans would defend this
>muh illegal price changes
It's called a free market. There's no reason governments should be regulating what businesses can and can't do.
Responsibility is on the consumer to do their research.
>>318060017
Fuck off you anarcho-capitalist piece of shit. If you subscribe to anything that has any form of "anarchy" in it you're a mouthbreathing 14 year old and need to kill yourself.
So is there a master list of everything that went up or a price change history of some sort? steamprices only lists its regular and sale price.
>>318053273
>what is retail
We do the same shit at our store.
>>318053375
>>318054531
>Bandai Namco advertises their Steam games with ps4's bullshots
>is still allowed
You know I just don't care anymore, the stupid people that fall for it? They deserve it.
>>318054943
They don't jack the EU prices up as they are already inflated compared with the US. They jack up the US prices because they can get away with it, and it means they don't have to apply different discounts based on region.
>>318060759
If your store was in the UK it would be breaking the law, just like Valve are
>>318060017
>There is no reason governments should stop racketeering, monopolies and ponzi schemes.
I know it is Thanksgiving break but you need to be +18 to post kid.
newfags can't kek :^)
So I put -20% tag on it and raised the price, bitches love to see -20%
>doesn't cite any actual games
