Origin
- Standard -33%
- Gold -22%
- Ultimate -18%
So what is now the “wow “ on this topic?
This is not the first game, that happened so many times before with other AAA titles get some % off 4-6 weeks after release and every time some people get upset.
For examples Jurassic World Evolution 2 is out for around 1 month now and you get 30% off or the new Guardians of the Galaxy also 35% off, both on steam
And as someone has written before its max 33% off on origin not 40% 😉
So as I said this happens all the time….nothing new

If the BF2042 game was good and more players coming online to play it as expected per business plan, then this game would not have gone onto a fire sale just 3 weeks after launch, especially as we have xmas/new year days just ahead.
Speaks volumes about the commercial disaster this has been so far.

This, I have never seen a game have such a big discount so quick after launch. Maybe a 10% discount yeah but not a 3rd off, especially when they been selling Ultimate for £100 before launch just 4 weeks ago.
It literally defo speaks volumes of just how bad it is doing.

@Spidder81 BFV was effectively half price within weeks of launch and just before xmas too. It annoyed me back then and so (unusually) I did not pre-order 2042, especially after experiencing its beta.
- HillbillyJohn4 years agoSeasoned Ace@CyberDyme I definitely feel ripped off at this point, tried to get a refund from Microsoft but it was denied because I had the game too long. In the end it was my fault for pre-ordering so I'll just have to suck it up.

The WOW and big deal is obvious. I studied marketing. You don't mark down a product which is very popular, selling well and has the potential to produce the projected revenue. That it is already being marked down is testimony that it is not meeting revenue targets. I wasted $108 on this dog. And it is nothing like the video advertising both outside and inside the game. It is a disgraceful POS! And now they have changed the only good thing, Portal and replaced BF; 1942, 3, and Bad company with Rush. In addition the weekly mission has you getting 30 kills with a crappy weapon like the Marksman rifle, and 50 revives, you're lucky to get 3 in a match and 3 arming or defusing in Rush. My skill level is not the best and that is not going to happen so I have 0 motivation to play this trashy game. I am very disappointed and anyone that asks me, I tell them don't buy it.
