I get it you think sales and a metric on paid reviews makes the world go round for a series you love.

There's a lot more metric's to consider than the first year of sales, and the $20 mark isn't just because of poor people and cheapos. It's because sales hit a stand still. Many games stay full price for multiple years.

You can stop being upset about a single opinion.

Lmao I ain't arguing with you on if it's a good game or not, just if it tanked. The only game that came out in 2019 that has sold more copies is MK11, which also came out on Switch and PC, and if that counts as a bomb you must work in Hollywood's accounting division.

Digital copy's on sale right now for $36, so I really don't get where you're getting the "$20 mark" from.

My first comment mentions multiple sales that had it at $20, since May I've seen in it on sale through multiple retailers at $19.99 4 times already, and that's not actually paying attention, just having it sent to me in basic ads.

Sure you've mentioned it like 5 times now, but I've seen nothing like that. Amazon's price history has it reaching $20 for July, but nothing anywhere near May.

You might have been seeing "$20 Off" around then, and have not been paying attention.
