Some points I like to add.
First I don’t se a problem whit the industry gaining more money by DD, as I don’t see any problem in that the developer actual stay alive, and make more games for me? As it is now it’s make a hit on at least two platforms or close down. That’s the reason that we see less games like, Dragensang, The Witcher and Demons Soul, and more games like Fallout 3 and Borderlands, that try to please 3 platforms, but don’t really do on all platforms.
Second, Europe has been left out of the DD market so far, the only big one here is Steam (and gog if you are after old games), and Steam do abuse this, by say that 1$ equal 1€, that’s make some game as expensive on Steam as it is in retail and sometime even more expensive. But you can be lucky on Steam, example Borderlands got 5€ if you preordered it. If DD shall catch on in Europe, we need to see more DD publishers, to break Steams monopole.
