Is this a typo?

    No, these bastards have been price gouging games for way too long and need a reckoning.

    It’s advertising. Most people see that percentage discount and think they’re getting a deal.

    Want more than a mild infuriation? Look at how much they charge for the Assassin’s Creed games.

      Just did, shadows is 30€ the rest is 5-20, looks quite reasonable to me. Ubisoft massively discounts AC games after release.

        Discounts are great and often showcase what actual pricing on a game should be.

        I just took this screenshot of current pricing:

          Where the hell is this from?! It’s not PS store or Steam so that eliminates the two biggest markets in the world…

            So, from your browser caps, the moral of the story is, Xbox store is for cucks oder? In the European PS store I can get AC games at the prices I mentioned.

            Shame for xbox users, they’re beeing taken to the cleaners.

            Obligatory FUCK MICROSLOP!

            The screenshot above is from the Xbox store.

            PSN is the same, although the search layout will differ and not make it seem as egregious. It very much is egregious.

            If you’re subscribed to PS+ Premium, the search will hide the price behind an “included” banner.

            Here’s a PlayStation Store screenshot from a browser without signing in:
