The Castle Doctrine Forums

Got here from the Kotaku post and registered just to respond to this.  One assumption you make that I disagree with is that people are waiting (or will wait more in the future) on sales to buy games.  Gamers are a passionate bunch.  If we are excited about a new game, we can't wait to get our hands on it.  Pre-orders and release parties are common.  I speak from experience that Steam sales, which I participate in often, have not lead me to wait for games that I'm excited about.

Granted, I'm making generalizations, but I really don't think that people are going to stop buying games at full price so they can wait for sales.
