It was from an old issue of game informer, I'm looking for it online but can't seem to find any information regarding where the money goes from each disc sold. I find it to be pretty common knowledge though. After all, consider all the places the money has to be split between. Sony/Nintendo/Microsoft(they all take a large portion than you would think) - The expenses of running the building - Debt acquired from the game development(there is almost always a good amount of this) - and then the actual profit. I wasn't even able to remember all of the places it goes and it is already easy to see how they could only be making $5 in profit.Rutawitz said:do you have that the companies only make like 5 bucks? im not doubting you or calling bullshit. i just wanna seejboking said:You have no clue how much money those companies actually make in profit on each disk do you? It's around $5. They aren't cheating you, they are charging a price that allows them to make a profit, which is the only thing that can justify even entering the market of video games.Rutawitz said:maybe if games werent so fucking expensive. do you think majority of teenagers have money to throw around? i know i dont
besides, these companies are trying to rip us off the same way we rip them off when we pirate
Disclaimer: none of this was meant to be confrontational, simply informative.
Just remember, they aren't cheating you, they are charging the price they have too.
Fair enough.Gilbert Munch said:No, not at all, and perhaps that wasn't the best wording.
I simply meant peple who say 'piracy is wrong' without putting any real thought behind why they think that that is so. You haven't done this, and I respect your point.
