    So what you are saying is that it is only a marketing move to appeal to poorer people?

        We cannot get it because we are not rich but rich people aren’t frugal they don’t wait a videogame to drop 5$ in price to buy it

          They don’t have to, but still can purchase the lower priced game, to get the same sale as you or me. Hence, frugality.

      I’m not rich but I’m definitely not poor. I only buy video games when they’re like $30 CAD or less. Only time I went against this rule was for Baldurs Gate.

          141 hours of gameplay from start to finish and local split screen coop campaign. Probably the best gaming experience I’ve had together with my wife. Absolutely worth it at full price.

      You can also view it as a strategy to extract more money from richer people, without sacrificing all the poorer customers.
