OK we've all done it.....(even whiter than white me)...... downloaded a dodgy copy of something leaked early or that's outrageously overpriced telling yourself you'll buy it if it's good.
Console games have to be overpriced in order to make up the loss on the discounted hardware. (Nintendo excepted). But what would you say is a fair price for a PC game?
PC gaming is different - Game publishers know that we have spent many hundreds of ££'s to run a fast system to play the game so PC game prices have always been lower.
With many retailers heavily discounting games at launch most games are pretty good value IMO.
Personally I'd say £20 for a boxed product and £15 for a digital download would be incentive enough to stop quite a lot of the downloaders.
Would you download all your games digitally for a discounted product with no DRM?
