Anyone have that pie chart showing where the money from a $60 game goes (retailer, production ect)?

For retail games. It was divided by stuff like the cut of the retailer, the costs of actually shipping and manufacturing the discs/cases/cover/whatever passes for a manual and finally how much is profit for the publisher?

Thanks! I think the first is the one I was thinking of (as it doesn't list the actual dev costs which wildly vary), but nice to have them all.

When's the last time a Valve game cost $60?

We can pay $120 sometimes for a boxed retail game here in Aus.

And I'm fine with paying that amount for quality. Games like Morrowind, Vice City and San Andreas, New Vegas etc... These games were worth paying full price for.

Wasn't it a New Zealand prime minister who said that New Zealanders emmigrating to Australia raised the average IQs of both countries?

I thought Portal 2 was $60 on release... maybe it was just $50.

I thought you were talking about this. Still relevant, though.
