apehater: especially if you think that tie fighter should be paid off long time age, its insulting that disney is not making better deals and there were games where i happily paid full price like system shock 2 and blade of darkness (sadly not avaible anymore)
yyahoo: I have no idea what "being paid off long time ago" has to do with it. Disney paid billions of dollars for LucasArts as an investment. It is their right to sell these games, among other things in order to pay off that investment and ultimately make a huge profit.
Not every publisher offers huge discounts. Almost all Disney products, including movies/DVDs/Blu-rays, retain a high price point over time with few big discounts. It works for them because people are willing to pay it.
The only problem that I have with Disney is their habit of only offering some of their classic movies in limited amounts for limited times. That I do find ignorant.
well ok its an assumption, that whatever disney paid for the full package (rights, games, movies ...) brought more than double of the investment price as profit, already before tie fighter and x-wing were released here on gog. so with higher discounts and 5.99 base price for this 2 games, it woulnd't stop disney from making profit. but i don't know the facts and its just my assumption, based on the well known financial success of the star wars trademark.
