If you're not interested then you're not counted.

If people have interest in Skyrim, they've had multiple chances to get it cheap. Whining about it now like many people around here or on Steam forum really is so astounding.

Welcome to the Master Race, then!

I couldn't see how much Skyrim was, since I already own it. It's not about the money, it's about the principal. At least Skyrim is getting a definite edition (which still doesn't justify it, but at least it's understandable), SR IV has no reason.

Thank you good sir, that is actually what I wanted to do when I found out but I couldn't find the Game of the Century Upgrade Pack and assumed they had removed it from the store. Many thanks :)

i didnt say it wasn't i simply stated that there is higher demand for the game right now because people want to buy it for the remastered edition i have had the game for years now on multiple platforms and have played it with mods, none of this matters im simply stating why the price of the game wasn't as cheep this time around:)

if you had a extra game in your inventory and had loads of people willing to pay you $30 for it, would you turn around and sell it to some stranger for $10? these guys run a business so ofc they are not going to sell something for less then they can easily get,maybe wait til next year after the newness of the new edition is over to buy it?

Having played the game with over 200+ mods installed I will be more than happy to have the special edition since it will jump to a 64-bit engine and remove the 3.2 GB memory ceiling.

BTW, Bethesda is promoting the special edition as being fully compatible with existing mods as a selling point.

The console versions offer the most benefit in the remaster because they will have in-game mod support now.

Yup, the 'remaster'

The reason the sale isn't as cheap is because all people who own the legendary edition before october will get the Special Edition (which was announced at e3) for free. To avoid people from just getting it dirt cheap just a few months before the promotion (and probably after they heard about the upgrade) they changed the discount for the summer sale and got rid of the bundle.

That's what I figured anyways. It still might go on a midweek madness sale before then after the summer sale.

Upgrade to Skyrim Legendary Edition now for a special price and get Skyrim Special Edition FREE when it is available.

you do know you can ALWAYS get games cheaper on other sites? Steam used to have good sales until every other games site on the internet ever realised they can jump on the bandwagon. anyway im sure you have your reasons, card and item sales etc, and im not going to criticise you for that, not everybody has the disposable income to shop where they would like to in the current finacial climate, god knows i struggle myself.

Yeah I would just pirate the whole game at this point. I would want to do that with FO4 since (as the owner of FO4 with the season pass on PS4) while it's a fun game the DLC is complete shit besides Far Harbor.

They do that?

Removing the memory limitations will not only allow "more" mods, but also "bigger" mods, it will give the modders the freedom to do more things.

It's a little more subtle then that: Ultra-capitalism and neo-liberalism dictate that if they have to kill you for profit, and even if it leads them to self-destruction, they have to make money at all cost.

This is the counter-productive logic here (of course not that extreme, it's not the same stakes): of course if they ged rid of piracy which has existed has far as the first vinyl bootleg, thus having to officious competition, AND if it gets dematerialised to nobody has access to a copy, it would make sense market wise to have ultra-high prices, that never go down, and barely get discounted.

But the truth is that on the mid-term or even short-term, people having limited income, will first spend the same money (they did magically get more) on less games thus bringing money to less publishers, quickly (and we are at this step now) people will then spend less money overall thus publisher will sell less games, then people will simply stop buying game and try to either go to piracy, or give up on consuming video-games. This has happened with music, with cinema, and will soon happen to TV series and video games.

Everybody loses but if on the short terms it fits the logic of "screw the people out of their money the more you can even if it means lower sales overall and on the longer term" then yes of course publisher will adopt it, which doesn't mean it's common sense, just market sense.

Still worth it. I bought the Legendary Edition for PS3 like half a year ago for ~25€, still no regrets.
