[14:12:25] <NewClassic> Erana: Very likely. Although I wonder if that has more to do with distributors than publishers.
[14:13:33] <NewClassic> If it is due to publishers, then I can't imagine why Steam is always offering sales (literally) when compared to both lower frequency and higher prices in brick-and-mortar stores like GameStop or Best Buy.
[14:15:52] <Starnerf[work]> Most of Steam's sales on high-profile games happen after the games have been available for a while
[14:16:33] <NewClassic> True, but GameStop's price point never really goes down. Persona 4 for the PS2, used, is still $30, I think.
[14:16:39] <Starnerf[work]> Though I don't know how much control the publishers have over retail prices and how long that control lasts
[14:17:08] <NewClassic> Whoops, $40.
[14:17:23] <Starnerf[work]> buy it on Amazon
[14:17:26] <Starnerf[work]> $20 new
[14:17:46] <NewClassic> Yeah. That's what I mean. How much of that is publisher, and how much of that is vendor?
[14:17:56] <Starnerf[work]> Used prices are all Gamestop
[14:19:06] <Starnerf[work]> And I'm pretty sure the publishers/distributors have no control over how much the retailers can actually charge, only how much stock they'll give them and how much they charge for the stock
[14:19:50] <NewClassic> So, there's actually more to be said for the vendors rather than the publishers, Erana.
[14:21:28] <Kumi> [14:09:50] * Erana has quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client) You guys saw this, right?
[14:21:54] <NewClassic> Ohhey, when did that happen?
