Game prices will come down says THQ

THQ CEO predicts game price drop

Brian Farrell envisions a future of cheap and possibly free games – with a catch

Now this guy thinks with his head and not with "ching ching". Also taking note of the fact that just by doing a price decrease, your sales initially should increase exponentially.

sounds good.

But oom Bob over at Activision will have other ideas...

 

[DenSweeP]

Kotick will just raise the Activision prices and say but we have all that money we saved from THQ.

Here comes another bitch fest.

I'd rather pay the R600 up front then pay R300 wait 6 months, pay another R150 wait 6 months pay another R150 wait another 6 months and pay R150 again. Its a stupid business model imo.

True.

Also, they can sell you a game cheaply featuring some cool loading screens and a handful of levels (think the same line as a demo) and expect you to pay in to see/pay more. I see a cheap, content lacking disk vs expensive DLC-to-complete-cheap-disk here....
