We have seen it with the GT prologue games.. And when people still buy it at that price... Good for the publisher..
We'll probably see more episode games in the future with a season pass like the telltale games.. Its better for a developer to spread out the risk in this difficult times for gaming with developers and publishers not making enough money.

 

My belief is that publishers and developers trying to squeeze so much money out of people is only going to push them away. Snip

 

All that i get from your words is that you are a cheap gamer buying games not new but after a while when the dropped in price.. The good news for you.. Ground zeroes will drop in price in a few months.. Plently of people will buy this game new and see the value of it.. That you don't see it is more your own problem and looking at your buying habits you are fine to wait a few months to play a game which is great for you.

Sadly a lot of people seems to do that cause there are a lot of good games out there which people don't buy. Thats how games work nowdays. The industry is pumping out too many great games then that there are gamers actually buying them. So publishers and developers need to find a way to cover the costs better.. If dlc, prologues or episodes are the way to go I support that..

A lot of those games costs millions to make and when they are cheap new they'll never make their money back cause frankly there aren't enough gamers to buy them. Thats why new is at a high price.. minecraft is an exception rather the a rule cause no game has imitated the succes of it..
