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.
What business would want to sell a product at the same low price all the time. They want to sell it at the highest price possible, but will have sales to also reach more price sensitive consumers over time as those willing to pay more decreases. But, not keep it permanently low to sell games to consumers who would pay more between sales.
Anyways when it comes to this comment I had responded to.
Not actually true. They only require price parity for steam keys. Basically don’t sell steam copies anywhere cheaper than on steam. Any other copy you can sell for whatever price.
Point of my comment to them in providing data of ARC Raiders being cheaper outside of Steam is that in actual real world cases Steam copies have and are being sold cheaper than on Steam. And its not the exception as data from isthereanydeals shows.
