(sorry if it's the wrong place for this kind of discussion)

Yesterday The Riftbreaker raised its price 50% for base game and 65% for dlcs. I know Steam said all devs to adjust prices(in January), but this feel more of trend where once a game gets popular the price skyrocket.

As someone who waits a game go 75% or a stable 50% discount before buying it, if i didnt buy it by then sure i ain't buying that now unless there is a massive discount (not even gonna talk about games that raise price to fake a bigger discount).

I dont want to sound cheap; I grew up with no condition to buy games and spent a lot of my internet in torrents in my youth, now i gladly pay for games but once a game raise its price i unwishlist it.

While you're overall right, DOS 2 is a terrible exemple for that.
