it is common on Steam to see sales some times AFTER the game is released
It is also pretty common before release. Lots of SEA title have gone on sale; some have even been in very cheap bundles before release.
Some of us have stronger sense of justice than others, get over it.
Ok, in the name of justice, how long after release should Larian have waited before putting the game on sale? Let's call that time X.
If someone buys the game on the release day, how long after that should Larian wait before puyting it on sale? Let's call that time Y. Presumablly Y is less than or equal to X.
Now to be fair to the person who buys the game on day Y-1, how long should Larian wait before putting the game on sale?
To follow up on Gyson excellent point, do you care if Larian committed to the sale before the release was delayed? Should your sense of fairness trump signed contracts (if that is the case)?
Given the huge increase in number of player with the sale, do you think the game would have done just as well if it didn't get any exposure until the summer sale was over and most people had spent their entertainment budget?
Do you not figure the game needs to do well in order for Larian to continue to support the editor, which will make it easier for you to change all the stuff you don't like about the game? Shouldn't enlightened self interest at least consider the results of the sale, and not just whether you think it is fair to you personally, or not?
