Metal_DK 04/21/17 9:03:43 AM #3:	Because when the Casual Revolution of 2007 kicked off, the gaming community thought that the cheaper costs due to lack of logistics, shipping, physical labor and goods, etc would cause companies to lower prices. But a day 1 digital release is the same price as the respective day 1 physical release. Its more that people are so used to paying the $50 - $60 for a brand new game, they continue to do that no matter how its distributed. --- Casual Revolution 2007 - 2016 <cite>Metal_DK posted [p:877618870] in Remember 1...

I wish I didn't have to worry about finances and could waste cash so frivolously. I don't know how people can consciously do it honestly. Nearly 80% of the digital games that I'm looking up are way more expensive than anything in my local game stores. The only thing that I think is even worth it are the games that are exclusive to digital but oddly enough even those are on average cheaper than physical releases lately. --- "Best read of the game goes to se7en.

Peace___Frog 04/21/17 9:15:55 AM #6:	It's because of convenience and snap decision making. If you're considering getting a game, many people would be willing to pay a small premium if it meant not going out to a nearby game store. The next point is regarding self control and spontaneous purchases. For some consumers, once they think they want something, if it's already at their fingertips then they won't shop around for a lower price. And looking at it from the perspective of a distributor, physical stores have an incentive to go through their inventory, even if it means discounting some products. Digital distributors don't have that inventory issue and thus don't need to cycle. --- ~Peaf~ <cite>Peace___Frog posted [p:877619244] in Remember 1...

The only thing that I think is even worth it are the games that are exclusive to digital but oddly enough even those are on average cheaper than physical releases lately. I've noticed that too. Its strange but I think explainable. I think its because a game that has a physical and digital release get viewed by people still a certain way, allowing companies to charge the 50/60. A digital only release gets viewed differently (frequently because digital only releases are from smaller companies for one reason), thus gets the lower price tag. --- Casual Revolution 2007 - 2016 <cite>Metal_DK posted [p:877619358] in Remember 1...
