Why did I have to pay full price for for BFV and a week later it's on special?

Another thing I didn't mention was that BF1 was on a massive sale a couple weeks before the BFV release. If we had know that the "BF Veterans" special would happen we could've bought BF1 on the cheap and then get 50% off BFV.

Can someone remind me how much the BF1 special was? Then let's do some quick math and you will see that you could've owned both BF1 and BFV for less than what people paid before any specials started (or before they realized that sales were a disaster, which every way you want to see it) on BFV.
