I can’t stand this. Like who are they fooling? Perfect example cdkeys has wukong 20% off than says it was $90 and now its $71.29. But that’s the price of this everyday. It goes even a little less. But instead they lie and put it was $90 but that’s bs because it’s never that price.

Thats probably your regional price. Its fine for me. Nothing is inflated.

 

[Jesb]

How is it not inflated when they list a price it never is.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Screenshot it? Whats your region? Whats the price on steam compared to it?

 

[acm2000]

working as intended in the UK, lists the RRP of £49.99 and then 20% key price of £39.79

 

[Facism]

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Check the price on steam + tax. I'm pretty sure CDkeys is including tax in the price.

An example in my region, CDkeys and Instant-Gaming both have the game listed at 20% discount off $90 CAD when the MSRP is $80 CAD.


Steam lists the game at MSRP, but adds the tax during checkout, so they all come to ~$90.

Bestbuy is hitting me hard with a whole bunch of nothing.

CDKeys is a European site so their MSRP probably includes VAT.

My wife was showing me a sale on Target this morning. All Target did was raise the price of the original price, to make the sale seem larger.

Definitely a regional thing. I've had plenty of experiences/examples over the years where games on various sites are even cheaper than games on Steam that are discounted. The few times I've seen things oddly bloated like that was for things like gift cards rather than games.

Sounds like a Canadian dollar issue.

Not seeing the problem with any of the currencies I commonly use.

Check gg deals for lowest price. Problem solved.
