    Didn’t DLC and MTX come about because consumers wouldn’t accept a rise in sticker price for games?

    I’m not saying you’re wrong, either, you may very well have a point. I’m just having a hard time reconciling “We added DLC in order to make more money since we can’t raise the sticker price” with “30% discounts are a reflection of how high the profit margins are for sellers”

      They came out because the rise of the Internet made it possible and companies found new ways to make more money.

      Horse armour wasn’t about recouping costs.
