It's beyond insane to me that a $70 "AAAA" game (kidding, it's AAA) dips down to the absurd price of $5. I've never seen anything like it. Wish the entire Sims 4 "collection" if you can call it that was $5 total, would be incredible, or Starfield.

Instead of gradually lowering the prices, publishers tend to keep the original price and give it higher discounts as time goes on. People read it and think "wow, it's 90% off! I can't miss this deal!" and buy the game.
