I want older games at a discount.

There are older games that still cost money which I would like to play. Things
under the ESA license like Eye of the Beholder I & II. It would be nice to also
see if you could get some of the classics like Fallout 1 & 2 to download instead
of having to buy it off some scoundrel for $45 each. There are a number of games
like this. Wizardry 8, Morrowind II and III. Older games which people still want to buy. Take a look at the ESA license.

I agree with this person. Its a joke that so many older games are not available for sale. Instead these games have been locked away in some digital closet and its impossible to get them anymore, even through other channels.

Wasteland is a prime candidate.

You fools! Games are not fruit!

FULL PRICE UNTIL THE END OF THE WORLD!!!!!!

Oh, well, that really wan't my point--my point was that as we move away from conventional retail into a different distribution channel with different rules, prices shouldn't come down so fast--80% reduction in the course of a year for most games. Not that they shouldn't ever decline.

Oh no good point, so their older games should come down slower than your newer... what!?!? As always greg, when it comes to the real world you make no sense at all. I am just happy to see the financial and gaming world can see this.

The thing is, if you put Fallout 2 on here for $10 bucks, or even $20, it would be dramatically discounted and still comprable in price to other titles here. A tiered pricing scheme makes sense for some games, Wasteland would do better commercially at $5 instead of $20, while Fallout could definetly do $10.

Smark: you're correct that its good business practice to sell product at varying price points to maximize penetration, but here we're talking about decade old games having a discount, not year old ones. Learn grammar, punctuation, and syntax before you lob unconstructive criticisms, it doesn't help anyone to take an antagonistic attitude.

Personally, I like the idea that hard-to-find games could have inflated prices. I like to think that few games may be collector's items, by the time I'm an old man.

That doesn't speak to a slower price reduction for this venue. Regarding this project, since you are attempting to sell quality, and not "new release events", the price should reflect that.

that's up to the developers, isn't it?

I think those developers MUST take these games and sell them through paid downloads. It's really lame many developers don't allow people to make copies of old games, but don't give any easy means to buy them (or, sometimes, don give any means to buy them at all)

but of course, they need to make them Windows-compatible first. nobody is gonna buy an old DOS game that refuses to run on windows.
