No, this is a sign they made a shit game, and are trying as hard as they can to break even.
I suppose that one could make the argument about it being market difficulties, if one meant the difficulty that “AAA” devs have understanding that a shit game cannot just be pushed out the door and make literally all the money, when it is in fact absolute shit.
I didn’t mean to be that vague. And you’re right. I think part of the problem is that some studios have lost touch with what their customers want in even the broadest sense.
Diablo 4 got 40% off within a few months
I find AAA games are increasingly starting with a high price point to capitalize on the hype and advertising campaign, and once that peters out they quickly reduce the price.
If this isn’t a sign of market difficulties, I’m not sure what would be.

A sign of a bad game?
This game is hardly the only one being discounted heavily and early on in it’s life cycle, it’s just the most egregious example that I’m aware of.
Any massively popular titles being discontinued heavily and early that you can think of?

Wasn’t Diablo 4 kinda trash as well? Just looking on steam and it’s rated mixed, with people complaining about the monetisation of the game.
It’s a shame what Blizzard has become, because they used to make amazing games.
