How does a company make money from steep discount?

1.06K viewsEconomicsOther

E.g. I just bought a game 85% off on Steam (for a discounted series and I own all the previous titles). Assuming the publisher makes no profit from this sale, how do they make future revenue from me?

Okay so most games are discounted after peak sale windows, also getting people into the game that is perhaps going to be a series will hopefully produce future sales, also if you enjoy the game you will express that to your friends and they will also purchase the game.

There’s a point where most games have sold at their peak value and companies know there’s a audience waiting for the discount, people pay a premium to play the game from day 1, other are happy to wait for the price drop. It will all be a strategy as to when the discount is applied.
