Exactly. I have $X to spend on video games. Seems to me that the video game makers wouldn't care how many games I bought as long as I spent $X either way. Now if given that they get to keep more of $X if I download rather than buy at WM or what have you, it only stands to reason that it should be in their best interest to sell the game cheaper online than WM has it, and thus sell me TWO games that they keep all the profits on rather than 1 game that they share the profits with a retailer.

And I win by getting two games rather than one for the same amount of money.

they would rather you find a way to pony up the extra cash for another game.

and they basically lose. because in many cases gamers will pony up the extra cash for the game
