Re: Why Not Digitial Distribution?
I love when someone outside of a business uses the term naive. What an incredible assumption. I dont feel like tackling your whole post but here are some (also now just another outsider) points to bring up.
A) Shrapnel does have DD games
B) the examples you give (iTunes, Stream) are examples of $1.99 or $9.99 products? You seem to feel this is done because it can be done cheaper, not because its the media for any already cheap products?
C) DD is not yet an accepted secure method. Much of the support for it comes from claims of broken, partial, or un-installable downloads. And the working DD companies all have their own software for delivery/tracking which they are not sharing
D) bringing a price down does not have nearly the effect on increased sales when its a non-competitive market as people seem to think
E) I am sure that Shrapnel is continually re-evaluating all of their products as possible DD sales as the technology advances to make it worthwhile to entrust their big hitters to it
F) I would suspect that the loss of your sale is no surprise. Im guessing it was already figured into the statistics.
