Legal matters really have a tendency to drag out and it can sometimes take many months to settle something that should otherwise be simple and straightforward. Recently, we've been seeing a massive surge in GTA V sales and discounts across all platforms — real discounts -, even on Steam. Many of you may be confused by that emphasis, as Steam is known for its legendary sales, deals and discounts. However, this wasn't always so in the case of GTA V, and only a few months ago getting your hands on a legal copy of GTA V for less than the standard AAA game full price was pretty darn difficult.
One possibility has historically been the huge Steam Summer Sale, where many had hoped to see a discount on Rockstar's blockbuster. True enough, on the opening day of the sale , GTA V's banner was slapped with the little green rectangle housing the little white percentage, showing just how much you'll be saving.
In truth, if you bought the game then, you saved nothing. Just before the sale, GTA V's price on Steam was drastically increased so that when the discount was applied, the final price to be paid was identical to the un-discounted regular, full AAA price. You're right, that doesn't seem fair to us either!
