    Your thinking is a little bit backwards. The $70 price point of video games was not set by digital storefronts… it was set by physical media.

    $70 is where the development cost, marketing, physical production and shipping can be sold at a profit.

    So maybe you should be asking why I can buy a disc of Madden 27 at $70 while you can’t buy it at $50.
