Digital games should be cheaper. However, I'm not sure physical games being reduced greatly in price would be all that a thing for the industry in general. You'd still have a lot of people trying to get their cut, only that cut would be greatly reduced. With digital, you have a lot less fingers in the pie. I could see retail going down to $50 for a new game, perhaps even $40, but below that and I think we'd run into developers not getting enough to sustain themselves. After all, if new games cost $40, you'd still have GameStop selling used games for $35. |
yeah, i think it doesn't work. if retail games would cost only 30 bucks at release, sales would have to be more than twice because the distribution did still cost the same per disc. do people really believe the whole industry would sell more than twice the amount of retail games with a price of 30 dollar?
