That way when they offer you that amazing awsome 50% off sale, you as the gullable consumer think your getting a great deal and feel good about buying it at that price, and the seller is happy because hes now selling his game like hot cakes for his original target price. Its simple advertising, if they have a game they are selling, and they set there target price they want to sell for at 3 dollars, they will put it up for sale for 6 dollars at the start. (At a reasonable price) But I can explain why the Steam price is higher than the GoG price point. Originally posted by mb3:I would love to see the entire interplay original catalog on Steam! You can count me as a purchaser already. If this gets down to $3 or so, I'll buy it, but a $10 price is something I find a bit excessive just to indulge my nostalgia yet again when there are other nostalgic games I am drowning in. I own Rogue Squadron on N64 and still have a working N64, but I'm willing to buy it again in a bundle just for the convenience of not having to drag out the compatible console to do so, and I already have purchased X-Wing Alliance and Rebellion in a bundle for the second time, as well. I'll buy a game I already bought years ago again, but only if it's fairly inexpensive. (Especially when some companies like Nintendo are literally just reselling the ROMhacks other people did for a profit without having done any work to port the game, themselves, and I don't even think they pay royalties to those who made the games, either, so they're literally just sitting on the rights to the game reselling it every new generation with zero actual expenses to cover outside of the press release that they're offering it up again and the bandwidth to deliver it over the Internet.) I don't think we should go around advocating piracy, but I do have to back up the notion that $10 feels like more than this is really worth.
