intertemporal price discrimination

because of the rise of digital distribution of video games, video game developers are now able to directly control the retail price of their products, rather than retail prices being set by many competing stores like best buy and game stop. a common pricing strategy for video game developers is to sell a game at a high price when the game is first released. some timelater they will offer the same game as a discount, what is this an example of?
