Why are so many games on sale this year?
Every fall release this year has already been discounted by 50% or more. Yesterday Amazon sold the Battlefield 1 bundle with statue and game for over $100 off. It's great for consumers, but it seems ridiculous to sell a game for $60 and then a month or two later sell it for less than $30. Why are publishers doing this to themselves? Is this the beginning of the end for $60 games?

They're cutting into the profit margin a little bit, but they're still making money hand over fist. Plus EA is trying to kill CoD, so getting more people to play Titanfall 2 and BF1 by offering them at a discounted price will help them in the long run. Also idk how amazon works with the publishers, it could be amazon bought and paid for a shitload of these games and are just offering deals to get them out of the door. Doesn't necessarily mean the publishers are the ones pushing the deals, especially if they've already been paid for the merchandise.
