    Another commenter somewhere suggested it could be because the wife (lower price) doesn’t play as much, and the discount is to incentivize buying/playing.

    It’s still shady and black-box-algorithmic, but it’s a guess.

      Kinda feels like the opposite of how it should work, too. The people buying the most and supporting the video game industry get the worst deal. 😬

        It’s the new customer v old customer. The old one is already coming in and spending money. The new one needs to be enticed in. Same with like any subscription. New customers get a deal, existing don’t.
