Because youre already stuck at home bored. They dont need a sale as incentive to get people to buy.

arksys had a little mini sale, but it was mostly clearance of random physical goods

pokemon go is selling a shitton of incense (attracts pokemon to you) for really cheap in-game earnable currency and extending their duration by 2x, which is a really good move

Huh?

Weekly PSN and XBL sales obviously take less than a week to set up.

I guess, it just seems like this would be a good time for a sale, since they know alot of people are stuck at home.

I was joking about saying the stuff above, but serious about it making sense to put digital games on sale as people are more likely to buy right now, and the platform with the cheapess price on games will probably get the sale.

They could do it nicely. Sell games at a discount to help people who are stuck at home, though...

That might also be why all the egg times are halved...

Yeah, sometimes my jokes don't come across that well, but it was meant as funny tag lines for sales etc, not something serious. It would probably be something nice, in fact, they are doing similar things in other areas, so it would make sense for the video game industry to do the same.

They released Frozen 2 early on Disney + for instance, so something like offering the new jedi order game for 75% off, or...I don't really know other recent games (have not been paying attention), maybe the Ori wisp one....for 50% off etc..things like that, to give everyone something to do/keep themselves occupied for cheap (and quite possibly they would end up making a bigger profit because of selling so many more.)
