Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rudy" data-source="post: 90085" data-attributes="member: 1233">But part of the reason Farsight can effectively get away with selling tables so cheap is because the liscence holders get a significant chunk of each sale.With digital content, each unit counjered up out of the servers and 'produced' is sold. Liscence holders, middlemen etc. get their money out of that sale.Now, if Farsight was to do a disc version, they'd have to create a finite amount of discs (let's just say 40,000) and they'd have to pay all the content guys up front before a penny has been made on the disc. If it bombs then that's 40,000 discs they won't be able to recoup again, if it succeeds it still involves paying the content guys BUT also includes the cost of the discs too which would nullify any profit that could potentially be made.</blockquote>
