    They can set retail price to $1000 for all I care. As long as the actual sale price is $10 for instance is all that matters.

    It does matters because is how price parity works, promotions has a beginning and end date, it’s not based on the lowest price at a time but in the consistency of the price.

        Steam does require price parity, and the fact that Arc Raiders were cheaper at some point doesn’t prove otherwise. Promotions and discounts are acceptable; the goal is for the price to be consistent.

            Jesus Christ. You are ignoring the actual meaning of price parity and focusing on the meaning of the phrase “Basically don’t sell steam copies anywhere cheaper than on steam.” which is correct for a basic summary of the policy.

            You ignoring real sales prices and just fixating on some imaginary price outcomes where sales prices aren’t cheaper.

            No you dumb fuck, I never say on this stupid thread that the sales price aren’t cheaper, what you see to not understand is that SALES price is not what the Steam policy care, I said in my first response, they can change the price IF they give a discount.
