More to the point, I think, it's that trucks have pretty significant variable costs, whereas, as far as I understand it, software usually has pretty minimal variable costs. About the only variable cost, I think, OOTP has is whatever the licenser takes which my guess is maybe about 5$ a copy. Steam can probably easily eat that because they are the licenser in their case so it's more overhead than variable. I don't think we should expect OOTP to do that. Heck, I even think they should feel fine about charging significantly more than what just covers their costs for that unit and that's why I suggested half which I think would be a win-win for both the company and the customers. Half too much of a cut? Well, how about 3/4s which is about the discount for pre-ordering? That'd still get more sales I think.
