Considering the dropping amount of active playerplayers I am not surprised.

Pretty insulting to those of us that paid full price.

Did anyone pay "full price"? The game's been on "sale" on Steam since the moment it could be preordered.
I don't mind a 30% off sale, as all games eventually drop in price, but... 30% off after only a single month? That just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
I can't wait for the day when someone decides to sell a brand new game for $385. The game would go on "sale" for a dollar less everday until it reaches $20 a year later. The company would make a killing. Reputation probably won't be lost, as I bet there would be a lot of people ready to defend these kinds of practices.

Damn, it's pretty damn rare that a non-indie game released a month ago from a major company would be on sale. Especially 30% or more off. Even 10% off would be odd.
Sales have pretty clearly not been what Firaxis expected. This also bodes extremely poorly for expansions.
It's like I've said before: Beyond Earth isn't the spiritual successor to Alpha Centauri. it's the spiritual successor to Civ IV: Colonization.

The Evil Within is 66% off, released on 10/13/14.
Tales From the Borderlands is 10% off, released 11/25/14.
Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is 17% off, released 10/14/14.
These are all pretty big titles, all released recently. Just pointed out BE isn't the only recent game on sale, and isn't discounted as heavily as others. The Telltale Games Borderlands game just released YESTERDAY and has a 10% discount, which you cited would be odd. My point is, not as odd as you'd think apparently.

That will never happen. Computer Games are going for the same prices they were over 20 years ago.
Glad people are able to get it at a discount, just in time for the holidays and the patch soon to arrive! I got min 25% off and got the pre-order bonus maps so I am totally fine with a discount. Many Firaxis titles go on sale early, I seem to recall X-COM EU going on sale within a month or two after release as well. I think a lot of it has to do with the publisher, and 2k games seem to be quick to discount. Why is this a bad thing that people need to complain about it. Are they totally new to the video game market??

I don't think this discount means any thing about Civ:be success or failure. This is Black Friday sale on steam, and if you check, you will see ALL games on sale for next two days. instead of complaining and moaning all the time, some people here need to check their calendar sometimes or at least come out of their basement every now and then.
