Wow! How in the world are you guys able to sell the physical copy that cheap? Why such a discount from the digital version? Thanks.

I've noticed "the not wanting to get off your butt to change discs" tax on a lot of games (digital). I remember back in the day companies saying digital would be cheaper as there was no box to make and no freight. So much for that.

The digital version price will go down with it.

Like the movie industry, you capture the majority of your sales on "opening weekend". Most of the sales we get from now until 2020 is gravy on top.

We've discussed this in the past. Digital sales we get about 70% of the listing price from Sony/Microsoft. That's industry standard.

When we looked into physical distribution for launch we were only going to make a few dollars per sale. So, you can probably imagine why that would be counter productive for our growth.

Digital will always be the most cost effective way for a game studio to generate revenue. You don't have to worry about fulfillment, printing, manufacturing, etc which is why distribution companies make more of the money than the studio does with physical releases.

Onward and upward! We're excited for the opportunity to release this physically and see how it goes.

The game is crap and will do poorly as a physical sale. I wanted to like it, but it does not resemble the college game one bit. Each team plays the same way, same playbooks... Money spent on producing physical copies would have been better spent on further developing this years game.
