That is such a chad move.

It's going to sell no matter what the price. But knowing that, they set the price low, trusting they'll still make a profit on volume.

If MS, EA, UBI, or any other publisher were in control, they'd set the price high, no matter how big the actual game was, knowing they'd make even more because of the hype train around the game.
