It's a lot more than just production cocts. The logistics that go into it are costly as well. You think they deliver to the stores for free? That those truckers don't get paid?
I guess I wouldn't expect people on here to know about supply chains.
eta: stores also mark up to make a profit, so by eliminating the middle man (store), it would only be natural to assume the cost would be lower.

ive got a degree in economics and worked for a major logistics provider for 5 years - but yeah thanks for the supply chain management lesson.

For someone claiming to know about logistics and supply chains, you don't understand simple economic principles quote:

Exactly. Retailers take a 20-25% cut of the game sale. And it's another 5% cost to manufacture and ship the game. Digital copies also eliminate the used game "problem" that companies have. So you would think that cutting out those costs would lower the price of the game. It's the same shite with e-books too.
