It is normal. And it is not only online... Sale tactics in stores are usually the "buy 3 and get two in discount" or "buy 3 for 1 free". In this way a store ensures more purchases of items by putting a nice promotion behind it. Similarly, for online stores. With games it is more difficult to apply, as the main thing they sell are games. So obviously this was a new way for game developers and studios to sell their product and ensure sales by offering a promotion. It is actually how things work. I mean, just try to envision yourself in a position where you have to market and sell your product. Wouldn't you want to ensure as most purchases as possible?

There was a time when the norm for video games was you bought a physical disk in a store and that was the end of the transaction. No DLC, no MTX, no patches, end of story. No amount of weird hypothetical theoretical talk about sales tactics changes that. Don't @ me with that stuff, I'm just not going to engage with it, there is nothing to argue.
