A company can only publish what it can afford. The more money a company has, the "better" games it can publish, but you have to remember, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. 1C for me, has put out many good games, even older ones, because a lot of them are olde school, and even though they could be better with translation, they are still better than the new big budget games put out in the West for the new generation.
Steam dictates the amount of money they sell a game for. If they want a game on sale, they will put it on sale. Only if 1C could manage to talk to Steam to not put a game on sale, would they not do it. I don't know if 1C has the patience to deal with Steam employees on that matter(but I congratulate you if you do and succeed!). Steam isn't pleasent to work with.
I disagree with a lot of what you said, but I'm not the type to go around doing arguements
. Anyway, it's all cooooool. I just hope another Konung 4 is in the works!
