Typically not, but it depends on the digital storefront a game is bought from. Steam, gmg, humble, whatever. So I keep an eye out on different storefronts for the best price. As a result, I generally avoid paying physical prices on digital goods on account of it being a shiesty practice to force the price of a digital product as if it were the physical equivalent. Physical product markup being due to material costs of media, ie disks, packaging, box art, manuals, shipping, what have you whereas digital has, well, none of that.

Example: because a buddy of mine made a number of purchases on Green man gaming he received a discount of 23% discount on dying light, which is the standard fare of 59.99.
