That made sense when retail store shelf space was so limited that if something didn’t sell well it got tossed after a couple of weeks to make room for the next new thing. But online sales don’t really work that way. Sure, Steam’s front page has limited space, but there’s an entire internet that can link directly to your game

Sure, but there’s a limited window where people will pay $60 for a game, at which point they then tend to go “oh, I’ll wait for it to drop to $5 at the next Steam sale”.
