Would "suggest price" be a positive option for steam? (lemmy.giftedmc.com)

I just looked at a game that is 60€ and said "I dont think its worth that and would buy now for 30, just to check it out". Then I had the idea that some publishers/devs might benefit from knowing that 1-100000 people think that the game is worth X and would buy now for that price right now. In a case like today, the additional revenue would help their financial report etc. They could make short discounts to get especially these customers or even more tailored, you need to press "buy" and confirm at that price to let the publisher know. Like suggest price on ebay.

Let me know your thoughts and if this is a terrible idea. :)

I'm thinking of a "make offer" option where the customer can choose any price and the dev can manually choose to sell to that customer for that price or not.

Sounds awful. A million people spamming 1 cent on all games

Lmao

I guess a minimum order thingy could be set but then the lowest offer would be spammed.

Then games with the offer option would be seen as bad or cash-grabby.

So the option should be to get un-broke and pay full price or wait until winter.
