It's limited time, but also the selection these last few years has felt very uninspired. Everything is extremely derivative and been done to death.

There was a mass consolidation of developers/publishers recently, on top of further extended development cycles that has really limited any kind of variety we might have seen.

All retail establishments utilize loss leaders. It's not some underhanded duplicitous tactic, it's just a common business strategy

I'm not sure what you're responding to, but it wasn't anyone I said

There's talk of a reboot, and that's not what anyone wanted at all....

Which of those countries has the word America in their name? Because there's nothing else you can call people from the US. Every other country in the Americas has a different name unrelated to the continents.

And before you try to say it, people are never called by a form of the [Type of government] bit of the "of [Country name]"

Those still aren't bots. Bot farms are literally a bunch of servers running computer programs. That's not the same thing as some online sweatshop pushing disinformation manually.

It decreases the spread. Cutting form the engagement means free people who aren't already subscribed to that content will see it, since there's fewer people arguing with it. Which means those who are susceptible to falling for it have less chance to even encounter it, meaning fewer fall into it.

Even if the incentive to create the trolls has changed, the counter to letting it spread hasn't.

Tbf, any game that's on both steam and Epic Game Store will be priced the same, because anything other than steam having the lowest available price is against Steam's terms of service. You cannot be priced lower on another platform. GOG and a few others like it get around this by selling steam keys.

While that's in place, you definitely can not see prices go lower.
