The used games market is what forces companies to offer those price drops. They know they can't possibly offer those ancient games for full price when used copies are floating around for half that. So if you get rid of used game sales, then you can say goodbye to digital sales as well. |
uhm there are tons of indie games that don't have a retail version and guess what. They are frequently on sale like every other game.
You don't seem to get that there is only a limited number of people who will buy a game at $60. If everyone of those already has the game, the publisher will make $0 unless they reduce the price.
Also it's obvious that Steam has Batman for $20. Otherwise they could never ever put it on sale if the regular price was only $5.
