| badgenome said: I dunno. We keep hearing how a lot of games generate a huge percentage of lifetime revenue from the crazy Steam sales, probably because they're so cheap that all the Steam whales buy them even if they never get around to playing them due to their disgustingly massive backlogs. I don't really think that's going away if retail dies. There will still be a reason to be competitive on price. Especially with Sony (and Nintendo, I believe) allowing devs to set their own prices and do self-publishing, which will allow smaller developers to fight for attention rather than being squeezed out by the usual shithEAd behemoths (which is something that XBLA has been prone to in recent years). |
You could definitely be right and I certainly hope you are. I prefer digital and I'd like to see normal market price variation continue.
