Dry spell in gaming?

I suppose independent games are fairly innovative, but considering a lot of them are DD I find them to be overpriced too often.

The boxed games run around $20 retail, which I think is the magic price there (Mass Market Impulse Buying Price).

But the DD prices those same games need to be around $5 to hit the profit maximization point (revenue-cost=highest value). Currently, for MOST digital downloads, their price points are between double to quadruple (TOO HIGH) and are unable to reach max profit (Mass Market Impulse Buying Price).

being to expensive in your opinion does nothing to belittle their success and innovation so I don't get your point.
