| etking said: The development is already funded. Only the final sum is relevant, not the price of the individual game. And $15 is not really less compared to what developers of full price retail games are getting after marketing, physical production, distribution, shipment and retail costs taken into account. Usually half of the final price goes to retailers alone. |
Do you honestly think if it just only reached it funding goal of 75k GBP, it'd be the same game? Indeed final sum is relevant, but with a higher individual price, the final sum would be much higher. Also all those costs you mentionned, do you think those don't apply to the creators of Yooka Laylee? Steam takes 30% and they're making a physical pc version as well. They have to market it, produce the discs, sent out the physical rewards, shipment, distribution. So that $15 is even less actually.
