    So Steam doesn’t have sales and huge discounts on older games? Now we call this dynamic pricing?

    Morons prepay and overpay for new games on all formats.

      Steam games are either on sale, or they aren’t.

      But on the PlayStation Store, I can see a game is on sale and text my buddy who lives down the street about it, but when he opens the store it’s not on sale for him, only me.

      You could have just said you don’t know what dynamic pricing means.

      Here’s the low down: Dynamic pricing is when a company charges different prices for different people at the same time, potentially based on the individuals spending history. So customer A who rarely buys full priced games might be offered a discount, while consumer B who regularly buys full priced games is charged full price.
