I'm trying to build a list of Developers/Publishers of Shovelware whose games have an overpriced base price and as such are always reduced by at least -75% to trick customers in buying these games due to their reduced price.
They are deliberately using the concept of FOMO (fear of missing out) because customers think "I HAVE to buy this since its discount is so huge, it will never be that cheap again and I will miss the deal if I don't buy at once".

If you find more developers/publishers who follow suit, please feel free to add them. Thank you.

A bit lateish, but I thought I'd wish you a happy SG cake day. Have a celebratory bump for your milestone!

Here's a prime example of the ridiculous shit going on..

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2076910/The_Last_Metal_Shooter/

It started out at $1.99 at launch on July 25th. At the beginning of August 21st it went up to $9.99 and then later that day it went up to $29.99. The next day, on August 22nd it went up to $59.99.

The dev had his name listed as MIZRAB but changed it to MIZ on the 24th. It might be due to the fact there's already a "Mizrab" who is listed as the developer and publisher for the game, TVs: The Awakening. There's another dev listed for that game but the publisher is Mizrab and they possibly could be in control of the store page so it very well could be the same person.

@Everyone:
Thank you for your contributions.

I will close this thread soon as I did not make myself clear enough what should and should not be reported. My bad, I apologize.

But I created a new community thread which is updated. For keeping it up to date, I need your help :)
