Who is getting robbed?

Consumers are getting robbed. They think they are getting value for the price, but they are getting ripped off without even knowing it.

No, they are not getting robbed. If they believe the product is worth 50 USD then they will pay it. If they don't, they will purchase some shit game for 10 dollars.

As a Starcraft fan, you could see the value in a game like League of Legends. It's free but if it were even sold at 1$ I doubt you would consider that a shit game.

They may believe the product is worth 50$, but in the end the degenerating sales of these series in the future will only serve to prove my point.

Remember, before the Wii, games like this did not end up selling very well on Nintendo platforms.
