Something interesting is that Steam users, (myself included) will ignore a game not on sale, I couldn't tell you why. The only thing I can think of is that we are so used to things being "on sale" we forget that there was a reason it was priced at that amount in the first place.
$60 ~~$70~~ looks better than $60
Factorio is an interesting example, its never on sale. It's just the price. In fact it keeps going up in price.
Because steam always has a plethora of amazing games on sale. You could never buy a full price game and still never run out of awesome things to play. And even if there is a particular game you want, it'll almost certainly be on sale within a few months. I'd have to double check, but I don't think I've paid more than 40 bucks for any single game in years.
