Bethesda 40th anniversary sale knocks 50% off Doom: The Dark Ages - Revelations just a month after launch

The whole catalogue is discounted, but this one really stood out to me.

Bethesda 40th anniversary sale knocks 50% off Doom: The Dark Ages - Revelations just a month after launch

Bethesda is currently offering a 40th anniversary sale on Steam, running until August 13 in preparation for QuakeCon. Among the titles featured in this sale is Doom: The Dark Ages' expansion, Revelations. This expansion is being discounted by 50%, bringing its price down from $20 to just $10. The main game, Dark Ages, is also available at a 67% discount, priced at $23.

Despite being only a month old since its July 7 release, Revelations has garnered praise from critics, with PCG guides writer Rory Norris giving it a 90% rating. Bethesda Game Studios, Arkane, and id Software have all faced layoffs due to Microsoft's restructuring at Xbox. With Revelations receiving a significant discount after such a short time on the market, it raises questions about Bethesda's pricing strategy and the perceived value of its games.
