They imply that your original price is dishonest. The same reason everyone hates CVS and Black Friday “deals”. The same behavior that put Bed, Bath, and Beyond out of business.

I didn't realize that was controversial for the general population.

It kind of looks to me like most people love sales, Amazon Prime day and black Friday.

So do you also not like the many steam sales and humble bundle?

Thats different to me because it only happens to older titles. I do find the perpetual sale titles to be obnoxious too, yes.
