It will devalue their offerings. It felt strange typing this out, as it's completely backwards to the regular ideals of competition in a market. |
not just that, but people are expecting digital downloads to be much cheaper (they will most likely be $5 cheaper). This won't happen as retailers will get pissed off and they won't distribute your product. They would ge tpissed off because it would be cutting into sales from those people who are on the fence between hardcopy and soft. $5 for mos tisn't much and they still would rather the hardcopy. $10 discount or mroe well they might consider the digital one. The balance between hard and digital will be one where those who want to go digital do so and not the fence sitters who want to save lots of money.
Maybe when we go fully digital downloads, games will remail at $50-$60 with ULTRA HD gfx lol.
