keeveek: But for oldies, pricepoints remain the same, 5.99 and 9.99.
Well... What is an "oldie"? A few weeks ago this was a philosophical question for the "It's Good OLD Games"-fraction. Now it's a financial question...
For example: Two Worlds was released on June 20, 2007. I bought it on Jun 20, 2010. It was 3 years old back then and "old" ($9.99). Assassin's Creed is nearly 4 years old and is sold as "new" game for $19.99 now.
Don't get me wrong, I'm fine with this, I can wait for the sale (even if it is the christmas sale). I never played Assassin's Creed (short: I read about Ubi's brand new DRM in part 2, so I've lost all interest in part 1) and I'm happy to see it on GOG. I can wait for "my" price.
It's just that some "old" AAA-games will jump across the "I'm a new game"-line. But without the new price points they wouldn't be here...
