Lots of those games are nearly a year old, were way overhyped vs their actual reviews, or had technical issues that may or may not have been resolved.
The Baldurs gate discount is only 10% because its still very popular but the sales have dipped a bit because their initial fan base already bought it.
Those are just bog standard game discounts that have been going on forever for common reasons. They have nothing at all to do with the industry, which is making record profits, laying off people to make even more record profits.
I literally googled "recent aaa titles" and picked the first 6~ off of the list. I don't hold any personal opinions of any of them except for Starfield, which I have seen my roommate play.
Regarding Starfield: it seemed to me that it was a 6/10 game.
