  For what it's worth, sales upon early access release (or even 1.0 release) is somewhat common in the indie scene.

  I believe the goal is to try and convert as many wishlists into sales.

    Im not 100% sure if this is true but I’ve been told its due to steams email policy.

    They’ll email everyone when a wishlist game goes on sale and they also email everyone when a game has a 15% or more sale. Doing a 15% sale on launch doubles the chance of people seeing the emails.

  …That’s extremely common. Tons of games have launch day sales
