Original pre-discounted price. And these changes apply to all types of games, from the most suspected cheaters or the ones who make the most money from users to the biggest AAA games.
The details of the changes are as follows:
– You can run an introductory discount, but once your introductory discount is over you will not be able to run any other discount for 28 days.
– Your product cannot be discounted for 28 days after the price increase in any currency.
– Discounts cannot be activated within 28 days of their previous discount, except for seasonal events throughout Steam.
– Discounts for seasonal sales events cannot be activated within 28 days of the launch of your game, 28 days after the release discount or 28 days after the price increase on any currency.
– You can not change your price when an ad is active now or planned for the future.
– A product cannot be reduced by more than 90% or less than 10%.
– Personalized discounts do not last more than two weeks or less than 1 day.
