| NiKKoM said: ? Did i say anything about lower revenue? I'm asking why high budget games dont have the selling price they deserve in happydolphins idea.. Or does 60 bucks seems justified when studios are closing left and right.. Can you justify the 60 bucks standard? It should be more cause they invested more.. |
I'm sorry I misread your post. You can quote me by the way and refer to me in the 2nd person too, if that's not too much to ask.
So, to your point, it's my understanding that if the makers of GTA IV offered it at 140$ they would go bankrupt. The reason is that at that price the volume would be so low that nobody would buy it.
So... to do business, they have to take the cut, bite the bullet and hope to make money. Well, priced at 50-60$ it is possible for them to make money, and they have.
The case I gave was the exact opposite. You have game that are not under-priced, but overpriced. It is a very different conversation I hope that's something that makes sense to you.
