Hey! The other day I bought Rainbow Six. To be exact 16. May 2018. Today I was looking for a new game. While I was looking, I saw that Rainbow Six was at sale. 50% actually. The discount began 17. May and ends at 20. May. I have played 10 hours. If i have known that the game would be 50% the next day, I would have waited. Any tips to what i should do?

If I had a dollar for every time that happened to me either through Steam or GOG or PS3/4 games, I'd buy a second GTX 1080 Ti. But I will say this: if you buy a game that is more than say a year old like you did (two and a half to be exact in RB6), expect it to only drop in price over time. So while you paid $40 for it and it's now $20 for a short time, that's just the way things go. You had no way to know it was going on sale on Steam.

These things are hit or miss and a lot of it depends on how popular the game is still selling a year or longer after release. Steam felt it was still worth charging $40 for until this weekend. My guess is that it won't be long before the regular price falls to $30. If you want a game, buy it. No sense...


Really? Nothing I can do..... wow.... RIP my money
 


It was worth, to you, the price you paid for it when you bought it. You've played it too long to request a refund.

Price variants like that work both ways.
You wouldn't think it fair if they raised the price next week, and demanded more money from you to keep playing it.

One thing I do not like about downloaded games vs. retail boxed copies like we have for an option on consoles is that you cannot sell the game on the used market or in the case of Gamestop, trade it in for a credit on a new game. Game publishers stopped making DVD retail boxed copies of PC games starting about ten years ago.
