What Im saying is...maybe Doms 2. would sell better now, if it would be cheaper, since the game has been out for a long time...but I know nothing about marketing, so maybe I am wrong.

When a significant portion of a game's appeal is that it has state of the art graphics or something like that, it's hard to sell it, say, one year after it was released - because there have been lots of newer games that topped it in the interim. So, now that the game's made its profit, its price drops significantly and the publisher can try to make a little more money out of it.
There's nothing of the kind with Dom2. By most gamers' standards, its graphics were ugly and its interface was lousy even before it was released. Its appeal lies elesewhere, and I don't think it's been topped in the Last year in what it's trying to offer.
Plus, I doubt the developers got paid a huge amount - my guess is, they made less with Dom2 than normal wages for the amount of time they probably spent on it, though of course I might be wrong.
All in all, I see no real reason for Dom2's price to drop, other than "other games' prices drop", which IMHO is not a
good real reason.
