Quick Summary#

Significant discounts have been identified on several high-quality Nintendo Switch games. The standout offer includes a 50% price reduction on Divinity: Original Sin 2, a title widely recognized for its depth and gameplay quality.

These deals provide an excellent opportunity for players to expand their game libraries at a fraction of the usual cost. The current pricing applies to specific, critically acclaimed titles that are often recommended for Switch owners. This price drop is particularly noteworthy given the high quality of the games involved. It is an ideal time for both new and returning players to purchase these titles.

Featured Deal: Divinity: Original Sin 2#

The most prominent discount highlighted is for Divinity: Original Sin 2. This title is now available for half off its standard price. It is a highly regarded role-playing game known for its complex mechanics and narrative depth.

Originally released to critical acclaim, this game has maintained a high reputation among gamers. The current 50% discount makes it one of the best value propositions available on the platform right now. Acquiring this title at a reduced price allows access to dozens of hours of content. It remains a benchmark for the genre on the Switch.

Other Available Discounts#

In addition to Divinity: Original Sin 2, other titles are also part of this sale event. The source mentions and more are included in these half-off deals. This indicates a broader sale on select games.

While specific titles beyond Divinity are not named in the available information, the phrasing suggests multiple options exist. Gamers interested in finding value should investigate the full catalog of discounted games. These deals likely cover various genres to suit different player preferences. The inclusion of multiple games makes this a wider sales event rather than a single-item discount.

Implications for Gamers#

These price reductions represent a strategic opportunity for cost-conscious consumers. Purchasing games at 50% off significantly lowers the financial barrier to entry for premium software. This is particularly relevant for games with high replay value like Divinity: Original Sin 2.

The timing of these deals, occurring shortly after the holiday season, may appeal to those looking to use gift cards or extend their entertainment budget. The value offered by these discounts is substantial. It allows players to experience top-tier gaming experiences that might otherwise be passed over due to price. Securing these games now ensures access to them at a much lower cost.

THEN AND NOW: Vintage photos show how department stores have changed

Department stores, then and now. Bettmann/Getty Images ; Kamil Krzaczynski/Getty Images Department stores have changed dramatically over the last 100 years. Department stores once sold necessities. Now, many are struggling to remain in business. While some classic chains cease to exist, other retailers have found ways to increase sales. In the early 1900s, department stores existed to sell necessities, including food, home goods, and apparel. Today, many luxury department stores are struggling to survive. The rise of the internet and surge in online sales have placed a major strain on department stores. Saks Global, the parent company of Saks Fifth Avenue, Bergdorf Goodman, and Neiman Marcus, became the latest department retailer to file for bankruptcy on Tuesday. Take a look at how department stores have changed over the last 100 years. In the early 1900s, department stores were focused on selling the necessities. A Harrods department store. Heritage Images/Getty Images Core products included clothing and home goods. During times of war, the necessities on sale included military jackets, coats, and accessories. That's why Harrods, a famous department store in London, featured an in-house tailoring room throughout World War I. The space was utilized to alter used uniforms and sell new ones. Department stores still sell the basics, but novelty items are also typically present. A modern Harrods department store. Prisma by Dukas/Getty Images You can find everything from household tools and fashionable clothes to toys and knickknacks at modern department stores — they seem to sell everything, in an apparent bid to compete with online retailers. Harrods also sells store-branded items, including bags, stationery, and teddy bears. Leading up to the 1930s, department stores were often crowded. A crowded department store. Bettmann/Getty Images Around 1929, people were encouraged to shop in order to help boost the nation's sinking economy, Fortune reported. But that same year, the stock market crashed, and the Great Depression officially began. The period lasted for 10 years, causing major layoffs, failing banks, and mass poverty. Today's department stores rarely see such large crowds, aside from major shopping events like Black Friday. CHICAGO, ILLINOIS - NOVEMBER 29: Shoppers visit Macy's department store on Black Friday on November 29, 2024 in Chicago, Illinois. Black Friday marks the official start of the holiday shopping season. Kamil Krzaczynski/Getty Images Even during major holiday sales, many modern shoppers still prefer to shop online from the comfort of their homes. In 2025, shoppers in the US were projected to spend a record $11.7 billion online on Black Friday, an 8.3% increase from 2024. It marked a contrast from the wild Black Friday scenes that could be seen in stores in the decade before the COVID-19 pandemic. In the 1920s, employees worked in department store basements to make change for cashiers upstairs.

None of those "tube rooms" are needed anymore, thanks to computers and credit cards. JERSEY CITY, NJ - NOVEMBER 25: Customers line up at the cashier area at a Macy's store during Black Friday sales on November 25, 2022 in Jersey City, New Jersey. Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, is traditionally regarded as the start of the holiday shopping season, with shoppers flocking to stores and online for bargains, but with consumer confidence down, retailers are bracing for a considerably slower Black Friday. Kena Betancur/Getty Images Modern shoppers often don't even have to interact with a cashier if they don't want to. Instead, they can use touchscreen self-checkout machines to purchase products from many department stores. Starting in 1924, Macy's celebrated the holidays with its first annual "Christmas Parade." A photo from the first parade was taken in 1924. Macy's Live animals such as elephants were included in the early days of the Macy's parade. Balloons depicting popular characters such as Mickey Mouse appeared a little later in the '30s. The name has since been changed to the "Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade."

For example, live animals have been replaced with people dressed in costumes, and giant marching bands have become a staple. Tons of celebrities have also appeared on floats. Minimal merchandise was showcased in store window displays throughout the '40s. A department store display window.

There was some art to these displays, as props were placed alongside mannequins and merchandise to create a scene. Contemporary display windows are unlike anything of the past.

As early as 1923, Barneys New York was a popular department store. Barneys New York. Peter Morgan/AP Barneys New York was created by a man named Barney Pressman when he pawned his wife's engagement ring and opened a shop on Seventh Avenue and 17th Street in New York City. By the '60s, Barney's son, Fred, had turned the location into a luxury store, and the company became a national sensation throughout the 1990s and 2000s. By 2019, there were 22 stores in the US. However, the chain faced difficulties and shuttered all stores in 2020. A closing sale at Barneys New York.

Bonwit Teller was once a prominent luxury department store with a flagship location in New York City. A Bonwit Teller department store. George Rinhart/Getty Images The store was known for selling a range of high-end women's clothing inside a luxurious Art Deco building. It grew to more than a dozen locations across cities, including Chicago, Philadelphia, and Columbia, South Carolina. By 2000, every Bonwit Teller store had gone out of business.

Ten years later, in 1989, the store filed for bankruptcy and began shutting all of its stores, with its last location closing in 2000. While the flagship Bonwit Teller store would have been exempt from the closure, the building was purchased by Donald Trump in 1979, who demolished it to build Trump Tower. The Saks Fifth Avenue flagship store in New York City opened in 1924. Saks Fifth Avenue. Bettmann Archive/Getty Images Saks Fifth Avenue was once a bustling destination for luxury shoppers.

Business Insider reporter Madeline Berg visited the Saks Fifth Avenue flagship store the day Saks Global announced it was filing for bankruptcy and found it to be "nearly empty" with little foot traffic.
