Actually it pricing is very interesting and I think it is a problem
So for me, when I buy a game on PC, I expect a 50% + discount at the very least, because that's the way that Steam has trained me
Likewise on PS4 etc I expect the price to fall over time, such that I can get games quite cheap. I've definitely noticed digital games catching up with more frequent sales to compete with the likes of amazon who do discount older products
But Nintendo are different. I've been thinking about importing a new 3DS from Australia (to the UK) and so started to look at game prices. They're all £30! There has been no decline in value and it's interesting to see if they can maintain those standards
But I definitely agree that Steam sales are eroding my valuation of older games. I'm okay paying full price for a brand new game, though that full price does seem to vary from game to game. Shadows of Mordor ~£40 console, £30 PC. FIFA £50 console (dunno PC). Dragon Age £40 everything
While it is fair to have a variable price, I really don't think that everyone has worked out the best way to price things overall
