    That would make them look like jerks though. And Valve is basically just a storefront which is very generic. The only thing that keeps Valve successful against its many competitors is not looking like a jerk.

        They imply that your original price is dishonest. The same reason everyone hates CVS and Black Friday “deals”. The same behavior that put Bed, Bath, and Beyond out of business.

          I didn’t realize that was controversial for the general population.

          It kind of looks to me like most people love sales, Amazon Prime day and black Friday.
