That's surprising. (Gaming)
On the other hand, I suppose price drops for games is a weird concept on it's face. If it was worth $60 at launch, why wouldn't it be worth $60 now (especially for something that's not an annualized franchise with a "better" version out every year)?
Pricing is a function of supply and demand. As time goes on, the demand for the game is less since fewer people want it. Less demand drives the price down.
Yes and no. Supply never runs out with digital sales. It really only comes down to perceived value. Games make money when there's buzz about them, and generally don't make a ton after their moment in the sun. Lowering the price just catches everyone who didn't want the earlier price point or who had other commitments when it was the 'hot thing.'
