10 year old mario kart 8 is like 70 bucks or somethingwith dlc. They have lost their mind and people still pay for it.

Why would people want to buy fun games and support their development? Are they crazy?

Something interesting is that Steam users, (myself included) will ignore a game not on sale, I couldn't tell you why. The only thing I can think of is that we are so used to things being "on sale" we forget that there was a reason it was priced at that amount in the first place.

$60 ~~$70~~ looks better than $60

Factorio is an interesting example, its never on sale. It's just the price. In fact it keeps going up in price.

I couldn't tell you why.

Because steam always has a plethora of amazing games on sale. You could never buy a full price game and still never run out of awesome things to play. And even if there is a particular game you want, it'll almost certainly be on sale within a few months. I'd have to double check, but I don't think I've paid more than 40 bucks for any single game in years.
