Default Re: (OT) Madden 2004 and game copy protection

You missed one of his points. Movies do have higher audiences. They also have higher production budgets. They have more costs to cover than a game. A hundred million to Several hundred million compared to a few hundred thousand to few million. If you work off that then the games can still make great profits.

Also as another point I myself would buy far more games with far less worry about the quality of it if it was far cheaper. With game costs what they are I expect alot more for my money. As for movies... I don't expect as much. I go for a show and even if it is bad I can just sit around and make fun of it with my friends later. If it is a bad game I feel truly ripped off. That was $50+ not $5 to $7! ARGG!

I believe that his basic point is quite accurate.
