All price settings are done by the developers of the game.

So if the game is marked down, then that is because the devs are lowering the price themselves.

Just buying the game, regardless of its price, shows support for the game.

Yes but introductory discounts are like the standard setting for all games today and i would like the option to give them the full price from the begin if i think the game is worth it. Without waiting an killing the hype.

If the game isn't on Sale, then you are paying full price already.
You don't get a discount for buying the game early.

Yes but only if they are older almost all new game releases have for a week or longer a introductory discount and this discount i want too skip to Support the game full price without killing the early hype If i buy only games after the Initial launch phase/ hype generating phase

Friendly reminder that developers/publishers are not your girlfriend. I'd advice against throwing them money like they are some high-class strippers because you might end up regretting it in the future if they start doing things differently in the name of profit.

Then ask the developers to introduce a version of the game at no discount which they can easily do. Steam can't offer the game for sale at a price the developer did not agree to.

I want this option almost only for little indie games we're i know the need every Dollar, not for tripple AAA Games or big publisher.

What I said applies to every single devs out there no matter how small or large the team is. You'd be surprised how many times ive seen indie becoming the monster they pretended to fight against. Almost every single studio we collectively hate as gamers started as "indie"...

Besides, if they couldn't function with the price they are asking for. They would just.... raise the price...

Devs are already offering you the price they find fair, as they set up the discount. You're already supporting the dev.

And the part where prices change through the purchase process kind of open to a set of problems, sometimes even legal.

Discount isn't from steam, its from the dev. Steam doesn't set any of the prices and steam can't change a dev's price they set. So your only option is to ask for an option at no discount from the dev.

But here's the thing, the game isn't being discounted unless it is on sale or is so old and doesn't sell enough to bother keeping at full price.

So the discount OP is not wanting, doesn't exist.

Many games actually do a small discount on release. Launch discounts are indeed a thing:
https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/marketing/discounts

Launch discounts start once your title is released on Steam and can be staged to run for between 7 and 14 days, ending at 10am Pacific on the applicable day. We generally suggest launch discounts around 10% to 15%, should you chose to set one. There is a limit of 40%. Launch Discounts are optional and are configured near your release date setting on your app landing page.

Hi i would love a button to deactivate the introductory discount because i want to support a good game from the beginning full and hate it to wait until the introductory discount is over to pay the full price for a good game.

Here's a wild idea..... Wait for the discount to end and then buy the game at full price.
