Can removing the manual really be worth it?

Translations, different graphics designers.. printing costs, distribution from the printer to the disc distributor.. surely it saves at least 100.000 dollars depending on amount of pages.. especially in Europe

But they are getting millions. they really cant add something that costs a couple of cents to a $60 purchase? I would gladly pay $60.10 if they made game manuals a requirement.

Business is about maxing the profit for shareholders. When a manual can be included on the disk for essentially no cost, saving $.10 for every copy sold is a pretty big savings. Even a game only selling a million copies is making an extra $100,000. It is irrelevant if the companies are already bringing in millions of dollars. Companies that are going paperless were already bringing in millions too, but they went paperless to save the penny per sheet.
