Like why is a visual novel that's almost 20 years old so expensive?  I was dying to play the game for a while now and I've been waiting to buy the visual novel for a special offer but it hasn't gone on sale like that.

Visual Novels tend to be very expensive and their price does not diminish overtime. Clannad is not the only one.

I guess but i remember like a year and a half ago I think I saw steins gate at half price on steam. Also most prices of visual novels that I’m seeing on steam are fair but like it’s just the fact that it’s old and still being sold like a new game is kind of ridiculous. Also I haven’t seen clannad having a special offer for the last 2-3 years

Visual novels get discount extremely rarely most of the time they some kind of discount when they hit an anniversary or if there is some special event going on around the author or the studio that made the game

Clannad is a ludicrously long game even by the standards of visual novels, with more content than today's $60 games.
I can't explain why it hasn't gone on sale.

I bought it for full price. It definitely was expensive. But I would say the good news is that the game is good value. It’s very long. In fact, it has more words than the Bible!

If you have the money to expend I recommended just buying it. For me, it was completely worth it

Just add it to your Steam wishlist and get notified by email if it ever gets discounted.
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

it won't be discounted as the translation wasn't made by key but done by a fan team. bc it was a smaller and it's sorta like a fan work they had to mark up the price of the game to make up for the amount of extra time they had put in. also it's just a great game with hours of content. I think it maybe be cheaper on the PlayStation store but not exactly sure

I remember it was discounted by 50% last summer on Key's anniversary so maybe in the next few months?
