How the fuck do they make money from selling Limbo for £1.74?

if you bought Limbo for $10 plus then i feel bad for you for getting scammed, not that the game is bad, but its an Indie game, it will make money through downloads even if it was $0.99 , heck look at angry birds and cut the rope, the guys are swimming in millions that even the big companies are biting their nails in jealousy of them.

bottomline a game shouldn't cost more than it's worth, sure you can say the retail ones go for the disk , shipping, manufacturing, publishing... ect , but downloadables don't need any of those costs, so it's price is fair enough i say

You may find this interesting  http://www.dinofarmgames.com/?p=561, I don't really 100% agree but it is interesting.

Yea that is interesting article and makes some good points but there is not much of a solution to this. Also market is really saturated as everyone has big backlogs (mostly everyone). I have close to 50 games on steam and it made no logical sense for me to buy 4-5 more games during this sale. The lower price of the products made me buy them outright. If they were $10-15 (not the most expensive thing in the world) it would be hard to justify me buying them as i already have a backlog and have to budget my money. There is always going to be few in entertainment business who come on top and rake in millions. Life is interesting. The more you have, the more it wants to give to you. :)
