The Day Before, which recently came out, is making a significant impact on the gaming industry. Unfortunately, if you think I’m saying this in a positive sense, you are mistaken. The game was a total disaster and pretty much everyone hated it. The game was a huge letdown even for developer, and a few days after it came out, the company went bankrupt and removed the game from market.

Of course, after all this you might think that no one would want to play the game. However, you would be completely wrong because some people are willing to pay up to $400 for a Steam key for the game. Here are the details…

Gamers Pursue $400 Steam Key for The Day Before

As you know, Steam keys are unique codes that you can use when purchasing games from the platform. This method, often used by gamers to buy games at a lower price, and can can sometimes lead to interesting developments, just like in the case of The Day Before, for example. According to the recent reports, Steam keys for The Day Before, are being sold on the black market for $200 to $400.

What makes this interesting TDB is an online game and no one knows how long the servers will remain open. For this reason, a Steam key bought for $400 could become entirely worthless a week later. So, why do people spend so much money this terrible game? The answer to this question lies entirely in psychology.

The Day Before gained fame as a disappointment right after its release, leading to the game being removed from sale and increasing curiosity among people. With the number of Steam keys in the market being fewer than the interested audience, demand only soared. This caused the supply/demand balance to deteriorate and the price to increase.
